Hi Pals, new ford on the drive
Hi Pals,
Thought I would log on since I finally picked up my dream car that I have wanted for 9 years now, I finally picked up a MINT ford probe 2.5L 24V V6
Got a few bodywork and mechanical issues but my brother is a mechanic and said go for it Mikey you only live once.
The drive home was EPIC
, when that 24V race lump get revving it pulls like a train, choo choo.
Went for a kfc lunch and could see people looking (dreaming of owning) at it when they walked past.
Hopefully meet some other ford pals this year.
Big "24V - Probe" Mikey

Thanks for the warm welcome pals.
Well it runs well, but has some rust on the arches, boot, a pillars and sills and a few knocks from the suspension but will be mint by summer time.
So glad I went for the v6, best looking ford ever made!
Going to take pictures tomorrow, lights up!!

There both red, have four wheels, a steering wheel, brakes, engine, gearbox, windows and two doors, and both manufacturers begin with the letter F, but that said, so does a fiat panda.
