saw a very tidy mk3 zodiac or was poss a zepth in croxley green the other day looked the dog wotsits

 

Triumph Herald, Triumph Dolomite Sprint, absoloutely mint! Now and again i see a blue 4 door mk2 escy, theres a low spec mk1 golf in reasonable nick near me. A moggy minor sits in a garden near me, fenced in now, doesnt look like its moved for years. Theres a Mk2 escy in someones garage nearby that you see when its open, its covered in crap but its mint.

One thing i haven't seen for years that i saw the other day - a scimitar,

Also how rare are Mk1 sierras now? Saw a low spec one on some ridiculous alloys the other day.

 

i seen a few about, datsun 240z, mk2 escort estate in yellow, see shit loads of mk1 mondeos about but there from the scummy estate lol. but i will admit i seen a mk4 escort 1.6 sport yesterday and just seeing it kind of made me remember how easy it was to wrok on such cars compared to the modern shit

 

There's a few round here, often see something when I'm out and about. Got a Series 2 up the road, Rover 2000 and Scimitar round the corner, seen a couple of mk3 Cortinas around, mk2 escort 4 door parks down the road, various Golf's etc, and seen a mk2 Cavalier convertible in town a few months ago.

 

a Triumph herald estate, with a pensioner and his wife with her wheelchair in the back allways.

my cortina, my orion.

theres a 190 merc cosworth up the road, does that count? i dont know how old is "old"

not many classics about anymore! maybe its cos we didn't have much of a summer again but you always used to see truimphs around, old escorts and 'tinas. the odd granny.

infact i cant remember the last time i saw a mk2 astra! or a mk4 escort. even the mk5's are getting rarer.

 

in malta we are full with them, although we are being infested with fuckin bmw.

here u see lots of favorits, geminis, novas, morris marina, fiestas from mk1 till 7 lol, PLENTY of escorts from mk1 to 6, we have shitloads of them lol, minis, metros and loads of others.

 

I see quite a few ..... sin a D reg moonstone cossy , a tuned up mini clubman , saph cossy also in moonstone , old astra GTE (like the white one but in black), a few mint astra gsi's (one with v6 conversion) , a few mk2 escorts , granda estate (unsure on mark but its massive) and a green granada (also unsure on mark) , fiesta rs turbos few about here and s2 rs turbo escorts .

 

Loads around here, 205, astra gte, v8 2cv6, sierra cossie(apart from mine) xr4i(dads), old minis, rover 100, alvis, armstrong siddely, jenson interceptor, hillman hunter, morris marina(one of my faves), shed loads more.
I've also seen a 27 litre rover round here, f**k it was noisy, people will know it from PPC(charlie) plus loads of other cars going to rolling road, as I pass there many times a day.
My mate has about 30 reliant robbins, and a bond bug, other reliants as well, as he is a reliant garage.
Lots of kit cars too.
I must admit I do like the older stuff, especially 70's, early 80's.
tabetha

 

oh yes mate, its dale. whats your name???

 

To me I'd say in the region of 20 years old or more.

 

I'm exactly the same, old cars just stand out so much more than modern stuff. Especially if they are in mint condition. A mint condition old car is so much cooler than a brand new car

The only stuff I see around Liverpool, generally speaking is old BMWs. My neighbour has an E plate 520, and I regularly see 2 or 3 nice E30 BMW's. Saw a lovely old Rover SD1 the other day but don't know if it's local. Oh and a few nice old Mercedes too.

I guess all the old Fords/Vauxhalls got stolen and burnt many years ago

 

i see this around a bit it even has a water bag on the front loads of old shiters out here

 

Dude what's a water bag? And does that say 4.4 on the wing or 4x4??

 

my datsun 280zx, h reg 2ltr fiesta, 1984 323i and m plate mini. got a mate with a mk3 3door escort, mates with xr2, mk2 fiesta, erst and frst. got another mate with a mk4 xr3i. fella down the road has loads of e30 bmws, another fella has golfs, and a bloke around the corner with a old beetle and corrado and a fella in next road with a saph cossie. those are most of the interesting ones off the top of my head, there a loads of old things about here.

 

ahhaha the fookers are straight six out here 4.1ltr and the water bag is on the front of the car under the headlight if ya get thirsty. they love cortina's out here more than escorts ahahahah my mate has this one it has a 302 v8 windsor motor in it and he has a set of 20'' chrome wheels to go on it

 

lol this one will get finished

 

Humber hawk, ford pop, c plate cav convertible and a mk 1 astra gte round by me but only weather is good.....saying that the cavy sits outside all year round

 

blethers of shite.how many times have you said that?i can count at least 3.want to have a bet again?bacon rolls!what about this job too?i need some info!

 

bets on

 

Today I saw a Rover 100, Pontiac Fiero, VW camper splitscreen, plus numerous older austins, morris's, rovers.
They were all securely parked up where me caravan lives, all on CCTV, with 24 hr security, continuous recorded, and some mean looking dogs.
tabetha

This is in my top ten lottery cars!! Only ever seen one on the road. Its even got a cool name IMO. I dont care if they're shit etc if anyones driven one. I just love them

 

I see up white 3 door cossie just outside New Mills all the time, seen a few Saph cossies in Buxton. My mate has just bought an F reg nova sr fitted with an XE.

 

I saw a Manta GTE the other day - absolute minter, and a real pleasure to see to be honest !

 

Woah, thats cool

 

Round Lincolnshire I see loads of different types of old cars

Which is nice

 

There's a guy in inverkeillor that buys old shitters and turns them into showcars then breaks them or sells them.


He's a had a good few fords... don't think the boy is right.

Said he was buying my motocross bike but don't think its in bad enough condition...was hoping he'd buy it, get it running then i was going to buy it back.

Tony

 

his one is for sale.. lol

this is his car.

clever sod.. you know nothing, its a ex tin top race car, full spec with msa logbook, an the cage is not a half cage its a full cage, doors and everything. and its 150bhp at the flywheel, not at the wheels, the flywheel. i had a go at someone on here yesterday for opening there mouth before knowing the facts. this site would have a lot more members if it didnt have people like you on here, taking the piss because someones car is not to the standard of yours. like i said to them, this site is called www.passionford.com for all ford owners regardless of what ford it is.. and one more thing, you own a bmw, wheres the ford in your profile. not that theres anything wrong with bm's.

 

He doesn't even own a BM any more mate....that got totalled. Now it's even worse - a rice rocket....

 

Theres a few old classics around my way but rarely see

Bro's mate has a mint capri brooklands

Other than that theres a few old 205 gti's


Living in a seaside town the cars dont wear too well and all rust away quite quickly

some very modern cars rusting quickly in this town that never normally have rust

so fords dont last long

 

I'll give them my focus and my wife with it. I'm a fiver closer then

*just as well she doesn't use the site

 

well i think we may well of shut him up then mate... lol

 

Mine! LOL haha and my next doors... few old classics near ruddington but hardly ever see them

 

cant decide what to do with my money!just now im wasting it on a v6 nova track car.going to put the rest towards an escos at the start of springtime next year.im waiting till your wife makes you sell the bike for pennys to pay for that nursery.might take your cos too if its cheap enough asnd do a nut and bolt resto on it,then sell you it back for less!

 

that sounds great mate. i'll sell you them both....

ever thought about professional resto's for a bit of fun?

Then you could use everyone elses cash
