Default What car did your dad drive. .The old git

My old man ( AKA the git ) had a lot of fords over the years.
This is what he had......

anglia 105e and 309e van
mk1 mexico 2 of and 1600s
mk2 mexico and rs 2000
mk1 lotus cortina the love of his life. That caught fire through his mate smoking.
mk2 and 3 cortina
mk1 capri 1600 GT
mk2 capri 2.8i special
And the capri that had a fight with a BIG tree the tree won. ( He was drunk ) the RS2800T and he only had it for two weeks.

And thats it......i think.
