Mines going away next week, been driving her since March and shes been great

Here she is recently out and about


Just purchased a mk1 Focus, 2001, 80k, good tax and mot with Full Ford history in great condition for £325!!!! So it will make a great winter car

Regards Adam.

 

My saff is taxd 4 another month yet,altho il see how the wether is here in suny scotland!! Lol as like urself mate,its been goin a treat this year and i was using it as a daily for cupla month as my van was off the road and i loved it! Drives fantastic and at stage 3 its quick enough for me

 

Good man! My taxis up next month so gunna see how the weather goes like you are and go from there really

 

taxed mine very late this year sp I will keep options open for now.

 

Wanted to stick my fiesta in storage but the garage its going in has a fucking great big hole in it!! So the plan has gone out of the window, don't want it on the drive all winter, so I will ask my uncle if I can lend his lock up.

 

i done zero miles this year

 

mines away for winter but also in bits now for some upgrades

 

Im in no rush, ill just put it away when the Tax runs out.

 

Mine will be used all winter as its taxed and insured, bring on the snow

Mine been tucked up since Ford fair when i broke the fucker i've since found love for BMW's so it's fucking staying under the cover

 

Mine been tucked up 3 years so far,, 4 years next summer lol

 

what have you broken brammer?

 

Mines been in the bodyshop since april.Im missing the old cow loads.Ive got a little puma to use and I love it

 

16 valves and a timing belt

 

mines staying out for the winter, looking forward to some fun in the snow

 

that makes two of us james

 

its a dodgy move jumping in a beema!!! made me wonder if it was worth all the blood and sweat with the cossy...... until i jumped back in the cossy that is. lol

 

i dont have a choice lol, would help if it ran for the summer

 

Mine aint moved a muscle since ford fair so i guess its there to stay lol

 

I'm putting the BM away for winter, wrongly in the eyes of many, but I want it to stay in immaculate as it is underneath just now... and I am quite looking forward to bringing the ST200 out of retirement and using it as a daily again.


Cheers,
Grant

 

I will use the 3dr on good dry days, but I will change the wheels over to my pro race 1.2s. I don't want my refurbished standard wheels dying lol.

amen to that Stu they were made to be driven not tucked up with a hot water bottle , my last 2 RSs shown below



you may know this car as you now own it

 

Winter is defo upgrade time, my car has been in bits every winter I've owned it.
This year its having very little though.

 

Steve, That Fezza looked awesome! good photo in the snow too

 

best time to drive them as they are fun which is why I buy fords lol

 

The splitter on the front sets it off. Was that your mod? Who owns it now?

 

sold it to a mate quite local to me for a few grand, was a good laugh in the snow but in the dry on the escos wheels it handled like crap, spoiler was done by a chap in essex its from a VR6

 

in all the years ive mucked about and modified/tuned old cars and spent many more thousands on them that i like to admit ive never put one away for the winter. its a car not an ornament.

 

 

The best line of the thread!

 

even my most user unfriendly car, my cosworth converted rwd toyota celica that cost me about £28000 to restore and modify and was stripped out with no carpets, radio or anything ,2 bucket seats with harnesses ,the hardest most uncomfortable suspension ever and had plumbed in fire system with in car fuel cell and the high and low pressure pumps in the boot was a daily driver in the winter. ahh the good old days....

 

There's only one thing for that......

 

That's 3 of us
Bloody head gasket !!

 

My Series one only managed 40 miles this year, will bring it out on nice days in the winter to get the motor run in finally!

 

I can understand why people dont drive them in the winter cause the road salt makes our fords bloody rust.

I enjoyed mine last year in the snow I had a bit of fun in it.I came sideways in my street and nearly crashed the cossie.

 

we had a summer like pmsl

 

It hasnt been to bad this year.

 

its been pretty good this year. we had about 4-5 solid weeks of sunshine in one go and were still getting warm days of sun now in late september.

 

I've only just had the dax finished so ill be having a bit of track fun first.

 

Yep tax runs out this month. Not that i even drove her in summer anyway
