Ok it is no exaggeration to say that 2020 was a very difficult year but what happened to the cars?

The Pug and Land Rover are still the main cars and we are very happy with them, the little Peugeot went down to the New Forrest most weekends during the summer and is great for what I need it for and with the Land Rover being a great tow car and able to be used and abused without worrying about damaging it I think I will be keeping them for some time yet.

The focus estate failed it's m.o.t on too many holes in the drivers side outer sill. Could not justify spending lots of money on it for the amount the car was being used but also could not scrap it, so I ended up buying a welder and replaced the sill myself and with new handbrake cables and a battery it passed the m.o.t and was then sold. I hope the new owner gets at least a year of good service from it and I now have a welder for use on the other cars.

The sierra died during it's m.o.t. the engine stopped during the test and could not be restarted and had to be recovered from the garage, found later to be a fuel block and is running again. Waiting for better weather before trying again with a test.

After spending lots of money on the st170 getting it tidy I took it for an m.o.t. which it failed badly, both outer sills were rotten along with the rear inner wheel arches and lots of other items including a worn steering rack. If I was going to keep the car I would have repaired it but I was not going to spend the time and money only to sell it so this car is now scrap. I have been removing parts from it for my other cars and when I have all the useful parts the shell will go to the scrap man.



Both escorts did not get worked on although some parts were purchased.

The track focus has been the beneficiary of some of the st170's parts, the engine, wiring and ecu, front suspension etc.



At the beginning of the year there was a new arrival which has also been getting st170 parts



The motor bike is still broken and in my mothers garage, the parts to repair it need to come from China

Plans for 2021 have to be quite small, would like to get the focus rs on the road, get the track focus on a track and repair the sierra
