Maroon Orion 1.4 LX, F807 OSR, acquired a new 1.6 engine from the ford dealer I worked at and chucked that in for a bit more go and set of S2 RST wheels to make it look the part. Still my favourite car I've owned, had a couple of 1.6 inj ghia's as well but nothing ever lives up to your first car.
Once my mk3 track car is finished I'm going to have another orion as a keeper.

my first car was in 1990 when i was 13,it was a poop brown austin allegro that i paid Ł30 for with t&t.i spent about Ł20 on filler and paint and had a go at the bodywork,and i actually made it look slightly better tho it wouldnt have been hard
i sold it on for Ł80 and thot i was arfur dailly

first car on the road was a 2 door mk2 escort in red.had a 2ltr pinto with a cam and 40's,4 branch and full peco.so 80's lol.
it also had a full cage and buckets,harnesses.4 big fuck off cibies and mex spoilers with 4 spokes and i absoloutly loved that car.
took a gamble one night between hiting a golf or a hedge in the snow and i took the hedge but there was a wall behind it and it just crumpled the front
sold it for spares but i will have another one,one day

I had a Diamond white H reg 1.6l ford orion, (1st mk5 shape) with crappy cloth seats, windy windows, no central locking, no alarm or immobiler, 15" RS turbo wheels and a 2grand sound system which lasted about 6 weeks before some scrotes nicked the car and stripped it! Got the car back minus alloys & sound system. I hope the chap or chaps who helped themself to it burn alive in anything else they steal!!!!
Saying that it was 10 years ago so chances are they might already have! lol.

That made me pmsl,I saw my mate do that after attempting a handbrake turn in his bin lid
Charlie you right about the old rover mate,I tried going that fast in one of them so it didnt rust around me,as for the brakes I think I was only allowed to press them 3 times in one day otherwise they didnt work I blew the crank out first before I crashed it lol.
1st legally purchased car was one Mariner VAN !! I think I was 16 att.It lasted 3 days on the fields
It was 22years ago mind.
