Default My cars

Hi every one.
Atm i have an '84 Mk1 1.6 Orion Ghia and a 1.3 mk6 escort that my mum uses.
I live and work in southend.

The escort was my first car which for £350 quid you can't go wrong. I bought that october 2006 but didn't pass my test until may last year. The escort was standard apart from a jvc headunit and infinty 6x9s. I did at one point have my brothers xr3i lattice alloy wheels on and it looked alright but he made me take them off(afraid i was gonna kerb them). That was all fine until a knob i worked with smacked into the back of me writing it off still roadworthy but worth absolutely feck all now(m.o.t due this month on it ). I then bought my onion october last year from ebay not even seeing the car. I then trekked up to grimsby to get it. After a four hour drive back i git her home. I bought the orion with 15" tsw imolas on pirelli p6000 tyres its been lowered during its lifetime but not sure how much. The tyres are 205/50 15 and scrub like buggery, which is why i have now put the original steelies back on with some olg goodyear tyres with some ancient tread on them. I plan to do a zetec conversion in the near future. Here are some pics...
