theres a few names i remember too
i hope everyones ok. long story short i did a full resto on my orion last year, scrubbed the underside clean and freshly waxoyl'd it, fitted a turbo engine and beefed the whole thing up, inc a full leather interior and some exterior mods. my cortina was my daily hack for a while and when the onion was finished i let her have a rest again. (the missus dont like the cortina in the cold weather cos theres no heater ) but the damm thing has just given me problem after problem after problem. so now i'm stuck. i've got to get myself a new daily driver and i'm on the hunt for a new project car soon but need one gone first. i dont know which one to sell. do i sell the beloved cortina, 3 years loyal service with 1 breakdown to her name (but it might just be time to move her on anyway) or do i sell my orion mk2, perfect on paper, mint , never welded shell, turbo engine, leather interior, everything tweaked to a T. its very pokey when it runs and has about 170hp, plenty for the average chancer. its had thousands spent on it. but it just wont stay running. i had 2 breakdowns yeaterday, and that was only after having fixed it the previous day for another completly unrelated one. the thing is just a money pit.
hence why i'm back. i might be selling an osf, and i'm certanly on the hunt for one. but not yet, as said i need to behave for a while and see who i need to pay for the privelage etc etc etc.
so there you are, my return. not so graceful .
