Hi all, Just joined today. Forums are so 90s still to me, so very cool! I have a mk2 Escort Ghia with a tuned pinto, owned and raced many Escorts back in the day, Also into my Lambretta scooters and classic minis as well.

Loved going to scrapyards in the 80s and 90s, there were 7 or 8 in Peterborough full of 60s and 70s cars. Used to climb in and out of them as a kid, all models with their own history. I got my first mk2 Escort on the road in 1993 when i was 17 and remember a gold 1300E 2 door mk1 just being taken to a scrappy on a Friday afternoon (i was there getting something with work). I went there first thing the next morning (12pm as a 17 year old) and there were about 8 blokes stripping it. 6 pod dash, interior, lights all sorts. Nothing like that these days, although modern cars dont interest me in the slightest.

Good old scrapyards , the days of no health and safety and you could scramble over all the cars looking for that part that was gonna get you out of the s**t that week for sensible money . Good old days

Ditto mate, happy days!
