Is going on with the pound!!! ????
I hear tell it is computer users and social media pounding the hell out of it!
$1.21 U.S. in exchange for a quid?
C'mon guys, sort it out!

Fancy that, we leave the worlds biggest free market and it has a negative effect on the currency. Who'd have thought...

Completely fuxxed my intention of importing Ali heads for the Mustang. Going slow for the near future
Can't imagine the damage it causes for the guys who bring in parts and cars.
Just need someone in the UK to tool up and make performance parts for us..
..and they'd go broke because the market is too small.
I appreciate that the pound was over valued, but it kept this hobby alive.

Well I ordered some stuff only this week as I waited and waited for the £ to recover but no sign of that in the next few years (2 to be exact).
I went to US last Christmas and got $1.50 for a £ now at $1.20 that is a lot lower
hope it gets better
