The Sump / Warning Country SA Cops, Hating Bedfords

« on: October 05, 2009, 04:02:42 PM »

Warning Country SA Cops, Hating Bedfords.
sounds harsh but true.
there's been cops around the Snowtown area picking on bedfords.
he got me for a tire, but wanted to try for rust.
he apparently just got another icecream bedford like 20minutes before hand, oily motor etc..
im from adelaide an the cops here laughed that the country cops get off picking on old classic cars like bedfords.

an just to let you know he was picking on the bedford, there was a car behide me that looked like a roo hit the motor an was crumbled up, but he left them alone just to try an get the bedford off the road..
if bedfords are supposed to have dead bodies inside, i could think of a couple..lol

CF Bedford Chat / Digital Dash

« on: June 11, 2009, 06:49:39 PM »

ive been toying around with the idea of changing the dash..
would like to go for a digital dash of some sort, but what would look best, an also how would i be able to connect up a digital speed from a cable speedo.. would i have to put sensors on the tail shaft or something??
i liked one from an old ford of mine, had digital everything. would look snazzy if i got another , but then need the dash to go with it i think..
what does everyone think..
let me know,
thanks alec.
