  3. Well, it's new to me! My name is Steve and I'm from Mildenhall in Suffolk. Hello! I bought a Mk1 Escort on Saturday, which is my first OSF since 2001. Its a '74 2 door in Sunburst Red imported from South Africa in 2016. The previous owner - an amazing guy called Jack - is a master coachbuilder and he restored the car over lockdown. The car is absolutely flawless (other than needing a new rear betacloth rear seat cover - which I've ordered from Aldridge) and I consider myself very lucky to be the new owner. All the OSFs I ran on the 80's and 90's were less than great, but were still a lot of fun. This one has a Harris 1700 Xflow. I'm looking forward to getting out to shows and events in '23. I will be asking daft questions, so please humour me! Thanks!

  5. The NEC classic car show 2023 has been busier than ever. Hot on the heels of their stand success over the the 1300E club we thought we would do a group photo. No pets were harmed in the taking of this photo but rabbits were allowed ๐Ÿคฃ.

  8. Bit late with this... Brilliant day! Fantastic route, especially down on the coast. Loved the beautiful little villages and beaches. Weather couldn't have been better. Although it pissed down as we arrived back at the camp....at about 8 [emoji854] Because Colr6 and myself kept stopping for tea and scones, most of my pics only have the Escort and Cortina in them!! Well done Vista and Mexican Gerbil for again putting an awesome route together for us. Round trip of about 800 miles inc tour. Brilliant weekend...[emoji109][emoji106][emoji106][emoji3060] Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

  13. As its completely finished now, I've had to take some photographs for my insurers to give a guaranteed valuation so thought I'd share with you I've removed and kept the old basket wave seats. They are in amazing condition so sourced some replacement ones and had them recovered in leather. Same with the dashboard. The original one is in storage and this one recovered in leather The only "gap" that winds me up is the bonnet. When viewed from the left hand side, it's slightly raised on one side. My OCD goes into melt down!

  15. Fathers Day Car Bash Funny thing happened today while at the show. A Fire Engine with lights and sirens comes driving up with an announcement to stand clear that there was a car on fire. With 200 oldies we all look around to see what classic was smoking but the fire engine just drives past into the multi story car park to put out a Tesla! ๐Ÿคฃ

  16. We are going to the local classic car show tomorrow, so today I thought I would get Tina out and check she was running ok. As the sun was shining I popped for a quick drive around. It is a while since I was out and I had forgotten how much fun an old car is.

  17. It was great to meet up with the OSF team at NEC yesterday, thanks for the great welcome. I drive a 1974 Mk1 1600GT Estate in Vista Orange. There are very few estates still around so its often a magnet at shows. If any other members see me around, come over for a chat. Hope to be on your stand at some point next year.

  24. What weekend that was ๐Ÿ˜ we managed the tour in record time ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Got to the 12-30 lunch break at 15-15. We had more stops than the number 3 bus route! Tea here tea there, cream scones the lot. Consequently we got back to base some 3 hrs after everybody else. A big thanks to the team for arranging such a top drawer event. Weather fantastic, scenery fantastic and as usual great people. 10/10 from me ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Just a note, we managed the 340 ml trip home quicker than the 108 ml tour, not so many cups of tea on the way homeโ€ฆ.lol We knew we would be last so we took our resident photoman MONZA who will know doubt put up some great pics. His new name is MONZA the KODAK man !!!!

  25. For all our members in the run up to the Christmas break As you sit upon the throne, With everything prepared, You're feeling quite excited but a little bloody scared! That huge amount of Christmas nosh has turned into a log, And now the fateful time has come, to flush it down the bog!.. But first you must expel the beast and so you start to strain, You bite down on a piece of wood to take away the pain. But oh my god, it's bloody huge it's like you're giving birth! You sweat and push and swear and shake and strain for all you're worth. And then that magic moment comes, that fills your soul with cheer, A turd the size of King kong's arm emerges from your rear. And like a bomb it hits the pan thus lightening your mood, And making room inside your guts for lots more Christmas food! Have a great Christmas y'all And no drinking and driving or these guys will be after you!

  38. It's a longish one but stick with it. A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted: "'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am". The man below replied "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude". "You must be a technician." said the balloonist. "I am" replied the man "how did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you have told me is probably technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip with your talk." The man below responded, "You must be in management". "I am" replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," said the man "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fucking fault!
