Well its certainly got people Talking, Good times

im not trying to teach you to suck eggs or anything i was just simply refering to what this site deems as an OSF, your personal opinon may include newer fords in the description of an OSF. secondly im not saying thers a good arguemnt for a Mk3, just stating that there has been numerous threads debating whether it should be included, and me personally i think it should, that opinion may not be widely shared but hey were not all sheep are we IMHO I dont think that sierras and Mk3 escorts will ever be considered as old fords to this site, thats not the point. a small sub section for the newer marks of ford and possibly other marques that members own would be a good inclusion to the site and could boost traffic/banter etc but again this is all IMO Just wait till this new fast n furious film comes out which is rumoured to use Mk1 escorts, then the popularity and demand for OSFs will re rocket to levels of that a few years ago, sadly so will the prices... as generall speaking they have become a bit cheaper then say 3 years ago Agreed, although some people do take banter a bit to seriously and as you know a good few have left the site over the years due to this, 4 door v 2door comes to mind ... God help them if they ever went down to WPE headquarters its Banter/piss taking central, but an immense laugh

i never said either were gash, thats a matter of personal opinion, in my Opinion most sierras are crap, but the cossie varients etc are nice, even diehard sierra cosworth fans are likely to agree with me on that. Mk3 escorts i like nearly all that havnt been "max powered" over the years. A rule of thumb as to what defines a OSF on this site is "did it come with plastic bumpers" and sierras most certainly do all come with plastic bumpers, where as a Mk3 escort are metal with plastic end caps, bit like a capri. This, and other reasons (date of manufacture etc) is why there has been much debate as to why Mk3s are not considered OSFs, Sierras will never even be considerd for the above reasons. Hope that helps

i Dont think Sierras will ever be classed as what we define as OSF's theres no doubting that some, ie RS500s, 3 door cossies etc are great cars with a cult following, but they aint Old Skool and never will be there is an arguement to let Mk3 escorts in, ive seen some lovely examples, only problem being is the most recognisable Mk3 is the S1 RST which is the definition of plastic fantastic.... then again so is the tickford Capri but there allowed. A room for members other cars would be nice, even if its not strictly only fords, i know some members on here have some lovely cars that dont possess the blue oval, Vista for example has a Alfa Monteral (think thats what is called apologies if im wrong ), every member on here is a petrol head, and we all obviously favour old fords, but im sure we all appreciate other marques too, i certainly do especially other classics and some modded modern stuff. As for other forums, yes i use several, including TS, DW, PP, and occasionally Retro Rides, but only for one room, "readers other modifications" which i find a good read (for those who dont know it, its random things and projects people have on the go, ie not cars). not a fan of some of the cars on there, it seems the shitter and uglier the better for some reason IMO

i agree with the fiscal aspect u mention, this is quite obvious with the increased number of cars and parts for sale, and lack of new projects etc in the resto section. Also with it being "summer" and i use that word very broadly as its been shit weather as usual, people are busy with familys, holidays and shows/events and as such are not at home on the net. Secondly Retards Club is a one stop shot as it were, you can catch up on your hobbies ie OSFs, your friends, family blah blah blah, plus its easy availibilty on smart phones, how ever apps such as Tapatalk make forum browsing a doddle on phones, i use it all the time. And Darren no i dont think OSF has had its day, its just like most hobbies in the UK at the moment, its slowed up in line with the current Economic climate, im sure it will pick up again, and you have a PM.

Love the swear filter for P.into power hahah

Bloody hell,someone's hacked Waynes account ,mk1gaz back ! puddy i didnt hack it this time...... i was talking to Wayne bout this on Saturday, along with another prominent member on here who ill let him add his own views, some people would say its a crazy suggestion, however no one can deny it caused good banter, heated debate and new threads and in such created spin off threads etc, which has been lacking on here of late Now i know it was nearly always the same debate, pintos, DD rolling roads and how crap anything other then Pinto derived engines were etc, and if you go on his forum now its the same to a degree, however if you look at the thread numbers and the pages of talk, and the number of people that get involved in the banter and arguements it creates, it makes for good reading, i know some people are a bit "sensitve" and get easily offended by some of the stuff said, but its the internet not the spanish inquistion. Also theres fair few members from here that are registed on The Rejects Club, and get involved with the banter, so cant be to bad id like to add, i dont know Gaz, never met him but i do enjoy the banter etc he comes out with, and as i understand it hes a nice fella in person with a genuine love for OSFs much like all of us. As for the Facepage thing, i think what wayne was saying is somewhat true, also what Savvi mentioned all the other "old ford related" pages on FB rings true, im a member of most of them, but i always still come on this forum and the others i use, but theres never much going on of late on here, just my pennys worth

Very nice Jon, its Kurt by the way, bought your trailer
