Introductions

[Big Daddy Kane]

As I am the mod of this new local forum, I'd like to get some introductions if you don't mind!

I'm Kane and I'm currently stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

[btcc93]

I think I've got it wrong and introduced myself in the welcome section!!!!!!!!!!!!:o :confused:

[Big Daddy Kane]

It's all good!

[MScotts]

Hi Kane...

I'm in the UK, Cambridgeshire... I know Ramstien quite well, you been there long?

Andy.

[Big Daddy Kane]

I've been here a couple years. Were you stationed here?

I've seen a Mondeo ST TDCi sitting outside the fence where the pub and armory is at. There's usually a current generation Focus ST there as well.

[MScotts]

Nah mate I'm a brit living in Cambridgeshire UK... I used to drop in to places like Ramstein and Spangdahlem, mainly in the 90s. The last time I was at Ramstien was in 02 stopping overnight there en-route to Garmish...
T'is a nice part of Germany where you are, imo, Koblenz was a good place for a night out on the tiles.

[Big Daddy Kane]

Heh... just curious cause there's a lot of British military guys here (among other NATO countries).

Hi Kane! I'm in Hertfordshire, UK! I used to frequent your USAFE bases across England servicing Xerox copiers (between 2000-2004) for DAPS! Ramstein is where the orders came from I believe.

In that area be sure to call on The White Hart in Moreton (Best food that side of The Bell in Horndon on Hill), The Queens Head in Fyfield (awesome sandwich called a Huffer with a pint of Killkenny :drool: ). Farther out be sure to visit The Hoop in Stock for one of the best local beer festivals going IMHO :laugh: . For a really out there pub try the Old Dog in Herongate; mind your head, the beams are low.

Of course these reviews are 10 years old now. I hope things haven't changed too much.

The Hoop in stock still does a fine array of Ales/Beers and an excellent BBQ in the summer.
Talking of low beams anybody heard of the Plough and Sail in Paglesham? run by relations of Jamie "feel the difference" Oliver!

[Big Daddy Kane]

Hey Robin!

[StuartH]

Thanks for the welcome, there should now be a link in my signature.

Hope to spend a lot more time on the site in the future.

[Big Daddy Kane]

I dig the plate, Stuart! I love the UK's loose rules on them!

Sucks here, gotta take what they give you, and if it doesn't fit, then your car is technically out of regs. Example are both my SVT and Nissan have USA sized rear plate holes, but at the time I went to get plates, I had to take the plates that fit on a Land Rover. So they're a bit too tall!

[StuartH]

The plate regs are fairly tight here also, and the "ford" sidebadge is technically not legal - it should be a UK or EU flag... but noone gets pulled over for that sort of very minor indescretion and I kept the "normal" plates just in case I get asked to change them!

The font is also governed by law and so is spacing and size of the reg number. Incidentally, the reg number is the one originally assigned to the car when new - its not personalised.

The small text under the number reads www.fordmondeoownersclub.co.uk (http://www.fordmondeoownersclub.co.uk).

[deedum]

Hello, long term member on here (well quite a while now)
known as SAT on fordmondeo.org
Have purchased my SVT pedals from a CEG member aswell as SVT badges. I also sent some Mk1 sail panels to a fellow CEG'er to see if they fitted the Contour.

Currently driving a standard Mk2 2.0lt Mondeo and the Mk1 V6 Saloon is sat up awaiting a new lease of life.
Oh yeah and i have my Hayabusa for some fun.
