Re: Hammerite products
I wish they'd discontinued the crappy paint before someone used it all over the underside of my Sierra!

Re: Annual camping weekend - 30 June , 1 & 2 July
I have a bit of a problem! The dates clash with my mothers birthday and my stepfather has (seemingly unbeknown to anyone!) arranged a surprise family gathering in Northumberland (good job we hadn’t booked a holiday abroad!). Let me know if you’re out of pocket as a result of my late withdrawal and I...

Re: What a transformation !!
Later on in the MK3 range Ford introduced a lot of "limited editions" Cameo, Cabaret, GT4 , Calypso1, calypso 2, LS . They were all simply tarted up base models to try to keep sales ticking ove.r Was the LS actually a “limited edition”? I thought it was just the base model at the time (fo...

RIP Ken Block
Another RIP thread sadly…. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the news this morning. He was an excellent ambassador for Ford (among others), for motorsport and for the car scene in general, as well as being a great entertainer. RIP Ken.

Re: Ford Fiesta - The End
Same here Nick, we have a little Ecoboost Fiesta now, lovely little car but doesn't have the character of the previous Fiesta plus from what I'm told the timing belt on the Ecoboost engine actually runs through the engine oil and that just doesn't seem like a good idea to me.... I'm lucky with my C...

Re: Post Office
So,, I popped into the post office on the way to work earlier to send a packet to a mate up in Co. Durham and the nice lady in the post office gave me a customs form to fill in. So I said "???" and she said "oh I thought Co. Durham was in Ireland" :lol: :lol: I’m originally from...

Re: In with the new……
Love the green. I've mentioned it before on here but green is a well underrated colour on cars.. especially with black wheels and trim. Are those wheels chrome? Or is it some newfangled posh metallic black colour? Hard to tell! Cheers, it is a nice colour (as was the orange to be fair). It’s funny ...

I think only we got the squarer shaped coupe for some reason. I do like the European shape I must admit!Major_Tom wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 11:10 pm Didn't take long - it's still for sale not SA either, it's LHD. Bloody nice looking car I think.

In with the new……
When we were camping I think I mentioned that I had a new Fiesta incoming. Well it’s here! :D New and old: 41DA5155-3367-42A3-A313-17C56E3E144A.jpeg Despite the obvious penny pinching by Ford I’m quite pleased with it, the overall build quality has improved and the opening panoramic roof is quite co...

Re: Belated Unseasonal Motor Meet (Eastern Region)
It was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend, if somewhat “unseasonal”!
I’m really pleased we did it, it was great to see everyone and the venue was a right result. We just need to do it a couple of months earlier next year!

Re: Ultra rare models
I’ve met an awful lot of people who know/knew somebody with an “orange RS” (MK2 Focus that is). Strangely I don’t know a single one!ESSEXV6ESSEX wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 6:51 pm I know there is always talk on here of the ultra rare FORD CAPRI 2.8 S LASER but how many other rare Ford's are there. How about the FORD ORION RS TURBO?

I do check the forum every few days but I don't always log in (so I end up missing private messages, or is that massages Tom?). :lol: Being Capri-less I don't often have anything useful/relevant to say. I can tell you all about Fiesta STs though, I have another due to arrive in September.... Plastic...
