Vista Estate

Life today is upside down sadly. Just look at the wimps complaining about a bit of sun and asking to work (skive) from home. These are the same ones that hed to Spain, Greece or Italy for summer sun in the 40's 🤣🤣

Get well soon James. You have some great cars to drive. 👊👍

It's the Poster QR code but not for old farts @Ray 🤣🤣

Just thought I would stop you going to specsavers Graham 🤣🤣

Discount QR code for this year 😊

Just arrived back home from the epic Scenic Car Tours adventure to 35th Circuit Historique de Laon. There were over 800 cars taking part. "Cortney" performed brilliantly thanks to The Witham Group oils and fluids and has now earned a rest and some TLC. We covered just shy of 1100miles which is amazing for a 58year old Mk1 Cortina 1500GT. Very proud of her! I was spotted at Eurotunnel in France by a Mk1 Cortina member Kev Stone 🤣. Read all about the adventure in the August edition of Retro Ford Magazine and see how this is one event not to be missed by classic car drivers and passengers. The camaraderie and stunning drives through the French countryside and closed road run round Historique Laon was a dream. Big thank you to all the Scenic Car Tours team James Wickenden and Oliver Breeden for inviting me along and Abbeyfields Insurance for sorting out my cover beforehand 👍. Get booking your trip for next year, you will regret not doing it!

After 8mths off the road, Vista Estate is now back on the road and attended her first show at Scampston Steam Fair near Malton last weekend. It was a great event run by Outdoor Shows Ltd. As well as trade stands and rural displays there were classic trucks, fire engines, stationary engines and tractors along with tractor pulling which is mental ! She was joined by other Escorts to make a nice line up in the ring. Mk2 modified Escort Mk2 1600 Sport Mk3 1600i Mk3 series 1 RS Turbo. Outdoor Shows do a lot of events across the North and beyond. Check them out as attendance is free for classics (and cars too) 🤣

Nice wheels @Dave Knight, are they new? 🤣

Update on this for all OSF members after speaking to another member who had experience. Only use if desperate. Be aware of "1960FordParts" on Fleebay. Parts prices are high, quality may not match and when things go wrong, the seller takes his ball home! Not a pleasant experience and that's putting it lightly.

Hi gang, Has anyone had any dealings with a seller on ebay going by the name of "1960FordParts". He's based in the Midlands. I would be interested to hear about your experience. Cheers

I've been with Abbeyfields for 6 years now. The service is excellent, policy coverage bang on, price brilliant and if you are unfortunate to have a prang they are there with you to help. If you nothing else, give them a call. Over the years I've been with Adrian Flux, Lancaster, Footman James and Carole Nash. They have been good but have lost their way over the years and if something is slightly out of the ordinary don't want to know. I made the change, and included my modern daily car too and its been easy. Thanks Abbeyfields 👍

Yes they do and it's a great policy. Give Jayne or Stuart a call.

And good with prayers 🤣

Nice, what other colours do you do and how much? (as they say up north) 🤣

Great book with some amazing pictures but it looks to be in Dutch, Leon. I'm a bit rusty would you translate each page for me 😊
