Thanks guys and girls, It's nice getting some background about the reasons why people got there cars and stuff.
I will have one day, but with and silly mortgage and two almost teenage kids I very rarely get money to spend on myself LOL.
I know where i'll be coming when I want to get the right car hopefully in the next few years too.
It was my dad that got me into Ford's after his first one was a Mk2 Coritna 1.3, and then over the years he had Ford Taurnus as he was in the Armed Forces and brought whilst living in Germany, 3 Mk3 Capri's and a Mk5 Escort before getting into much more modern stuff. I've personally had a Mk4 Cortina 1.6 auto as my first classic ford and then modern stuff with a couple of basic Fiesta's, a Mk6 Escort RS2000 and now my Fiesta ST. LOL (but don't tell Mk2Jo I mentioned the modern cars.... LOL)
