Smile New member and car :)

Hi all
Just thought id say hello to all on here
My name is Dan im 21 years old and i LOVE fords lol
I have been around Sierras, Granadas and Scorpios all my life so ive got a real passion for them. I Normally go for the older fords but the FRS is really nice . I have just brought my first car as a project for me. Its a 1997 Scorpio 24V Saloon in silver. It has only done 24,213 miles form new and was supplied new by Haynes Ford in kent and serviced by them every 2,000 miles. It also has the original ford number plates and scorpio floor matts . It does have a engine problem at the minuite where the engine taps when left on idle and the oil light comes on, but that will be sorted asap. I will try to add a few pics in the right thread later. Looking forward to seeing some amazing cars
Dan

Not seen one withthe escos alloys mate but i was going to buy one with the mondeo version of them. Personally i didnt like the look but the escos ones are better looking i think so maybe i could work.
