Went to pendine sands for the vhra racing great weekend spent all day Saturday in the pub as it was pouring down haha! Slight hiccup on the way down when brother got a puncture though! Kwik fit tried to tell us cars haven't used inner tubes in 20 odd years... Luckily some other hot rod good Samaritans came to the rescue with a new tube and a independent garage was more than happy to fit the tube for a tenner. Good job I was there as pit crew, it's amazing how much you can fit in a Cortina boot!

Hey, So I haven't had my copy come through the door yet? My father's custom car came and my classic ford normally comes before his? I've never taken much notice of when it appears but I see online it says the new one is out? Should I of had it yet?

So went to do a subscription for my dad's birthday and clicked the QR in the sept issue and it shown this... Does this mean I can't steal the meguiars kit off him now?

Anyone know where's best to get some? Only found 1 on eBay a few sites list them as repair kits but around £90 each??

Well... I said I see the cortina as a male. The Mondeo ( daily) is in the garage needing a stupidly expensive repair 😒🙄😠 for something that on the cortina would take me 15-20 mins an cost around £50 max. ( £680 on the Mondeo and can't do it myself cos no lift/ramp ) Aaanyway... Needed to fire up the cortina to take the kids back to the ex's... Hasn't been started in a few weeks due to wet an cold etc. Wasn't happy about it at all. Woke *it" from under "it's" blanket unannounced, Started straight away then ran cold for ages. An every time I wanted "it" to respond ( rev) "it" went huh huh huh huuuuhhh an continued to be cold an unresponsive every time I tried it on.... It's definitely a female today 🤣🤣it got me across town an back but made it very clear SHE wasn't happy 🤣

Brilliant!

Can't say that in this day an age mate... 🤣🤣

Not the modern type of gender discussion don't worry. But for those of you who think of your vehicles in a gender way, is there a reason you do... Or is it just a feeling? Maybe a name provoked the gender? Reason is. My cortina. I think of as a boy, a young man maybe... But definitely male. No idea why or any particular reasoning but just always thought of it being a male🤷🤷. But my misses thinks of it as my mistress. My true love apparently 🤣. Interested in your thoughts

I think it sold too!! Which one of you bought it? My guess is @Vistaor @BaileyMex

Well I don't think you can definitely class something as old school, as people all have different opinions. I do think that keeping focus rs etc off the forum is wise though. There's other sites for that I think? Keep this to early stuff and up to things like the MK1/2 fiestas, but maybe allow the odd beauty that someones bought that might be of interest to us all. But on that note. In my Mondeo ST220 (54 plate) the other day someone said oo look at that old car that's an old classic isn't it.... It's 20 years old🤷 it's bloody new to me! 🤣🤣

Old school or not it looks bloody lovely!

Yea I don't get the pop bang thing. My dad, a proper mechanic For 45 years, said if someone came in the garage with that he'd be fixing it🤣🤣 Although those new Hyundai N series cars ( the GTIs if you like) are like that from the factory🤷

Luckily dad's a mechanic and worked on these in their day so is quite happy to have a tinker with bits, the amount of service history and receipts I have I know it's been looked after so for now, I'm happy, time will tell though😂😂

Apparently out of 4600 ish made, only around 1700 left. Also, According to a reliable source, it's actually a rarer car than an Aston martin DB9 ( in st220 form anyway) which would also explain the lack of information on this model 😂 Bloody superb drive though! And with the full stainless exhausts it sounds a bit angry too😍

Selling my 56 plate c class, it's old, it's not the prettiest body wise but inside is tidy and clean. Just not wide enough for the kids in the back unfortunately. It's a 1.8 litre 4 cylinder supercharged petrol, manual. Avantgarde SE trim. Got a bit of service history the last owners son did a fair bit for him as was the local mechanic.
