I am Allan, aka wightwizard, knackered old pyromaniac, lush and all round good guy. I reside on the Isle of Wight but not withstanding this, have made the summer scout camp where various trees/pallets/logs have been burnt on a couple of occasions and xmas dwinkies with my good lady (her who MUST be obeyed). The good news some may say is that I don't drink any more ... but I certainly don't drink any less. Will try and put a pic up .

Howdy boys.

Guess I must be the oldest member, 70+ and driving a Cougar! I'm a musician, a Cowboy and play in a Blues,Skiffle,Country Band. Used to be an Environmental Engineer working in the Aircraft/Electronics industry until I retired awhile back.

Bought my 2001 Y reg. silver frost, 2.5 auto about 2 yrs ago from a dealer in the New Forest area and so far it's been good, apart from the usual poor headlamp problems! Why this was not
fixed by Fords when they were in production seems a mystery to me but I'm hoping to fix it
with the aid of a HIDS4U pro.unit that was bought for me at Christmas and suggested by a couple of you boys awhile back. Only problem is that there are no Instructions so I may have to check in again for some help!

They're a fine looking car and it's a pity that Ford did not continue with them for awhile longer. If I have a little concern it's that sometimes I feel like I'm driving on 'solid tyres'
cos' of the hard suspension!

I live in the Farnham area with my partner and who likes the Cougar but she does drive a Focus!

Anyway boys, a good new year to you all from this ol'timer.

Mike

Hi I'm Steve

I have been a member for a few years now, I recently retired (early) from a very stressful job as a senior technical operations manager with BT after 32 years, the job left me no time for my family or other things in life. We have a 2.5 auto V6 Cougar in Ebony, I have owned the car for about 6 years it's very low mileage with just 24k on the clock which is genuine. I never thought I would have to sell the car, but with only 1 income now it will be up for sale very soon !! so keep any eye on the "for sale" section.

All you people have been very helpful whenever I have had little problems ( especially Ian) so a big thank you to all

Steve

Subject: Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF Wed May 08, 2013 7:31 pm

No problem Steve..... That's what the club was formed for....... To try and help whenever we can...
Real shame that you have to sell up but all the best for the future and please don't become a stranger Laughing

Subject: Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF Fri Jun 28, 2013 6:03 am

ATTENTION ALL NEW MEMBERS (or those shy new members who've not posted yet. you know who you are lol!

)

This is an introductory thread. A place where new members could be encouraged to post up and say hi and tell us all about themselves and their Cougar.
But not just new members. All of us should introduce ourselves on here because if you think about it, although we've been talking to each other within the club for a long time we don't necessarily know each other very well.
So come on everyone, lets get to know each other and encourage new members to be active within the club and show them that we really are a friendly if not slightly bonkers bunch of people and feel free to include a pic of your cat.

So come on all you newbies or not so new members who haven't done this yet, don't be shy. Tell us about yourselves Thumbs

Hi to everyone..Im shaun aka REBEL.I am lucky enough to own 2 cougars both blurple.The first i have owned for about 3yrs.bog standard 2.0ltr zetec,used to be my everyday car until bout a yr ago when clutch gave in and at the time due to finances i couldnt afford to get it repaired.Then i had the oppurtunity to purchase a very cheap 2.5 v6 again in blurple which apart from fitting an induction kit is still standard at the moment although i am in the process of refurbing a set of 17 inch rims to go on her also have a drift bodykit tucked away up in the loft which i brought but have yet to decide to take the plunge and fit.

I live down in plymouth uk.
I have experience in the motor trade both from working in garages when i was a lad and from what i have taught myself over the years.
I can turn my hands to just about anything and am always willing to give summit a go...
I hope to make some good friends on this forum and am also a member on others with same username,i am willing to learn and gain valuable info and can share my knowledge and will help where i can....

Subject: Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF Mon Jul 15, 2013 12:30 pm

Hi Shaun
Glad you found us ... There's quite a few of us dotted along the south coast so always nice to get a new member ..
Blue is by far the best colour lol and the drift kit is good as long as you take your time fitting it correctly I removed one for an old member and it was a bloody nightmare lol.
When you get a chance post up some pics of your cars too .... Oh and of course welcome to the club Thumbs

Subject: Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF Wed Nov 27, 2013 8:09 pm

Hi All, I'm Jez had my 1999 Frosty zetec just about a year so far, i've done very few mods to it other than de-bricked, smoked side repeaters, k&n panel filter, mostly it was just getting it running properly as it was used very little by last couple of owners and had only 38,500 when i got it last December, shes now showing 47,8** ish as shes my daily driver....

Hopefully some mods to carry out next year now i've found gainfull employment, after getting made redundant end of last year

I've ideas for a FC T/B, -35 Apex lowering springs, and possible some 17" rims once the spring... errm springs Smile
