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

How can it be MINT when it has mechanical and bodywork issues?

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.

No need for the taking the Piss. Its the V6 so pretty fast and anyway why would I waste my time joining a Ford forum for nothing

I just wanna make friends with people with the same interest as myself. Nothing wrong with that
