93 Mark VIII
I couldn't imagine a set with twice as many "spokes" as the original 10 spoke wheels....therefore I assumed he was being facetious in offering 20 spokes.
that was a very silly assumption.
20 spokes are most definitely a thing.

beatcpl...thanks to you for making my point....nowhere on your post does it mention "20 spoke" as a
description for the wheels that are shown. Maybe someone can find and post a description of Mark8
wheels that are described by part or option description as a "20 spoke wheel".
I relate to a spoke as a support piece that goes independently from the hub to the wheel rim. When Kev said he had a set of "20 spoke wheels", I couldn't imagine a set with twice as many "spokes" as the original 10 spoke wheels....therefore I assumed he was being facetious in offering 20 spokes. I have 10 spokers on my '95 and could not imagine or ever remember seeing twice that many.
My reference to Facebook was meant in the sense of the "non-sense"" notice me" BS that to me, is the norm for Facebook. I don't do Facebook...and didn't/don't know, or care, that Kev ever goes there about anything....let alone to do with Lincoln parts...or whatever. Guess I pushed a button there,
unintentionally Kev.
When I mention "purest" I am referring to the car the way the car was made. It is obvious(to me),that on this site...that may be not so supported. If you look at any classic car,(I believe Mark 8's will have their day), what collectors pay the most for are cars that are numbers matching and restored to original condition.
So you can be cool and condescending to puff yourselves up, which if you look at it honestly, just makes it so you have less prey to pounce on and be cutesy with, because you have eliminated those who are not willing to be gang-banged to join your club.
For me....take it for what its worth, you can check out all my posts (the ones I have stuck my foot in it, are there for you to joke about), I will spare you the right of indignation when I am not on "game" and make a stupid remark from now on. I'll not comment any longer and use the site for finding answers only.
BTW..I am 68 and take no meds...not a single one. Maybe the med jokes are from you young-uns that are full of your share of them. When you point the finger there are 3 pointing back at you. There is your fodder
for the evening. Injoy.

Listen man..I really don't care how old you are, I'm 27, what's your point? What difference does it make what kind of nonsense people post about on facebook..I don't know if you noticed (you probably have considering you followed all of my posts on the mark viii FB page) that not many people take facebook too seriously including myself..its stupid social media..welcome to the internet. And what the hell are you talking about with me being "cute"? Because I'm joking around with people on FB or expressing an opinion. Its not my problem that you don't care for us "youngins" sense of humor, you didn't have to join facebook, so if you don't like the content of the site, then go somewhere else.
If you're such a purist and don't like the idea of modifying any classic car past stock..I would at least think you know what a god damn 20 spoke wheel is. If you hate the idea of messing with such a "classic" then you should probably get off of LVC also.. not sure if you've noticed this too, but probably 75% of the mark viiis here are modified in some way. Mine is relatively stock in comparison with only different wheels and a 93 ECU. I'm sorry if that makes you turn in your grave, but you should be happy that someone my age even appreciates a car like this. Would you rather have me not give a sh*t about it and drive it till it falls apart like it probably would have had I not bought it?
I looked up your posts, and I never once said a bad thing about you or messed with you in anyway..in fact I was 100% serious when you posted about getting in an accident with your 95, and added in my opinion on what I'd do. Yet for some reason you single ME out on facebook..out of all the BS that is posted there on a daily basis. You sound like a salty old man that doesn't take well to change. I'm sorry if I offended you with my lightly modified mark viii and my normal sense of humor. Maybe you should get off your computer and go back to your usual routine of stool softeners and bingo.
Cris....I guess your assumptions are smart? Show me the "thang" where, other than amounst you
officionatois, they are labeled "20 spokers'. I guess you are going down making your point of being
exclusively right, Right?

Just a parting shot for consideration for those members who are the main stays of this(mark80 side
of LVC to consider.... the traffic on the LS side of this site is consistently out numbering the Mark8
side 4to1. It was not very long ago that those numbers were reversed. I know this will bring major
disagreement from the 5-10 regulars here....but I think your attitudes have run off lots of people
who check this site out...but...because of the animosity of these few hard core geeks who's life
(IMNSHO) have driven down the participation rate from rate from those of us who are not so invested
in our lives being defined by posting on this site, from NOT PARTICIPATING. just look at any time who is on line. It's always the same ol same ol's doing the same ol' same ol'....talking 'bout how they have
made their Marks, better than all the rest of the Mark's in the world.
How many of the 5-10 regular every day members have a life other than here? There's one to attack!
I think most of them have a job for low wages,(based on how the squeal goes out when someone
actually ask a decent price for a nice car. Go buy junkers and "fix" them up for as cheap as possible
and try to sell them to a newbie.....or anyone not familiar with Mark8's. I have actually shopped for
Mark's all over the country trying to find a "great deal"...only to find a deal in the mind of the seller.
Just saying...tell/educate /feedback me on the motive of this site and the regulars who do the
majority of the posting?
I have given some honest feedback here.....I would expect the same...if not then I think the
numbers will reflect the loss of those willing to make a comment that goes against the grain.
Attack mode is hereby open!

Low and slow...Oh! When the chance comes from a differing opinion...we what? go into attack mode , right?Then we bring God in because he definitely knows and gives a F*** about car wheels!
I guess because you are 27 you would not get the point...maybe because you have issues with you Dad..or Grandad.
I think, and get it Kev, it's only me, who thinks you take things way to personal.
Like it justifies your life to find confrontation. Good Luck with that.
It's your car dude...you are free to do whatever the F... you want with it. Me too..right?
Face on.
