You could have a stainless radiator panel made up with that written on it!

I was thinking of a electric fence around our cars but Marie said she thought it would not work due to health and safety

As long as my car is idiot proofed that's all that matters

Lovely motor! That Cardinal Red is a stunning colour! You have done well there.
Interested to see what you were saying about the XR Sierra. That was quite a nice tool, wasn't it ? Or did you not think so ?

Thanks mate
Sierra was a great car and undervalued imo....Wouldn't have sold it for a long while if it wasn't for the paint issue
Always preferred the Capri though

Seeing you say that about the Capri vs Sierra - do you know the story that was placed into history a bit sharpish because Ford scored an own goal with these motors ?

I'll stick something up on the "Rant" area of the board instead of decimating your come back thread. It'll be good for you to see but also all to see.

Nice one, Andy!
It won't be long before they're enjoying rides in the Capri. If they aren't already...

They haven't seen the Capri yet, but I plan taking them to shows in it when they are old enough not to get bored

Hi Andy, I bet your grandsons are Petrol Heads with you as a role model
Unfortunately, I can’t open the image, having the same trouble with a few that Andrew has added lately
Don’t know if it’s just me
but I feel I’m missing out
