Hi everyone, Whilst on my way to Towcester yesterday, I stopped briefly for petrol at Savacentre / Sainsbury's just outside Theale on the M4...whilst driving round the car park I spotted a fully painted up Ford Galaxie 500XL (I think) complete with pyramid blaster on the doors, blacked out windows and official looking police lights on the roof. I didn't get the chance to hop out and ask the chap driving about where he bought the car, and if he was into the KLF - my guessing is probably yes....and more importantly, if it was for sale - or ever would be.... Anyway, I was wondering out of interest if we know how many Ford Timelords there were...I'm sure I can remember reading somewhere that there were 2 owned by Jimmy and then a 'Fraud Timelord' owned by Gimpo. Any more sightings / clues ? Cheerio Neil _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free. Get MSN Messenger today! http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger
There were multiple fords. I remember Bill telling me they were going to leave one of the broken one's outside Pete Robinson's house as a birthday present. He was at school at the time so his parents would have been well pissed off. The only reason they didn't do it was it was too much hassle to get Ford towed to where Pete lived. Anyone know if you can still get a copy of Justified & Ancient history? Andy Ps I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Dan brown and his "revelations" about the Illuminati. I read the first chapter, not as good as the Illuminatus trilogy - no blow jobs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil Sampson" <djhombre@hotmail.com> To: <klf@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 8:54 AM Subject: [KLF] Ford / Fraud Timelord....

Yeah one is mine, although it's actually in full Los Angeles Sheriffs Dept livery but I have the Pyramid Blasters to put on the doors when required :-) It also has number 23 on the roof. Also, it's not a Ford but a Chevy, it's the one that was on the M25 spin. Funnily enough I asked Simon Cauty about what happened to the original Ford Timelord the other week (when I went to collect one of the Stadium House models I'd bought from him on Ebay) and he told me it had been scrapped. He said it was always breaking down and catching fire and had to be taken to most of the film shoots on a low loader. I also asked Jimmy about it once and he told me that he banger raced it, but the car they banger raced was not Ford Timelord, it was a Chevy Caprice like mine. In any state I would have loved to have it, I'm a bit of a car nut and have around 25 altogether, I'd have got it going again! Phil.
Nice!! I knew that Ford Timelord was, originally, a Ford Galaxy NYC cruiser and I knew that there as a "sister" car, which, I believe, was also a Ford, but of a different vintage (In fact, I have pictures of both cars together, somewhere in my collection)... I don't like Chevy's.... I used to transport them things, and they're junk, IMO... This Plymouth cruiser I have is an inheritance I received after my granddad died, and it has become a legacy for me to maintain... I want to make my car a "Timelord" clone/fraud, but I am also concerned about whether me doing this would be interpreted as being representative of the The KLF... I do not, in any way ,shape, or form, wish to be mistaken for being a representative of The KLF, but, at the same time, I want to put the "23" on the roof and the Pyramid Blaster on the doors (I've also entertained the idea of painting the "Sacred Chao" on the hood)... Also, I've wanted to have the phrase "The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu" emblazoned across the top of the windshield... I haven't decided, yet, what to put on the rear window... I could, also, do some creative things with the pentagonal emblems Chrysler placed on this car... Yeah, I have a copy of the Illuminatus! trilogy... I guess, I'm looking for permission to do these things to my car - not representing the KLF, but as a fan wanting to educate my fellow Amerikans (not that they would understand, but it would make them go "What the F***!!") - Gawd, it would be a blast!!
