Muggy Bonehead

A google search showed a few different versions of this gauge, some without the green & blue lights, none with the smiths logo. I'm assuming its Mk1 but does anyone know the year & model?

Hi, I just wanted to post this incase the Capri's owner is a member on here; a friend of my partners posted this comment on Retards Club at the end of May "What a day, nearly had a head on with a van on way to work following a nutty ford Capri driver overtaking me on a blind spot on outwood lane this morning. Would like to thank van driver, he was great. Checked boys and I were OK, then he and his work mates put back the tree the dark blue Ford Capri had hit. The Ford Capri did not check to see if any of us were OK, for all he knows we could be dead he just reversed off the tree and went like a rate of knots down the Rd. He left part of his car the drivers side bumper end not going to be an easy fix on such an old car. Just pleased, me the kids and the van driver and his mates are OK, though my neck is starting to stiffen up." I have checked the stolen section because I cannot believe anyone would drive their own Capri as if it were still 1985!! I mean even the most basic spec rustbucket commands 4 figures nowadays; but nothing matches. So if you ever read this Capri man, There were 8 & 10 yr old boys in that car & you're DAMN lucky that it was only your car that paid the price for your moronic behaviour; you bring shame on the whole classic Ford scene!

A few pix of my Mk5 2.0 S-pack estate; owned for 10years this week. All original except the slot mags (I do have the 5 original dartboard wheels with 80s Goodyear Grand Prix S tyres on, & chrome embelishers.) Has fishnet Recaros & RS2000 gearknob as part of the S-pack. Britax sliding canvas roof fitted very early in its life.

That Raleigh Burner is a little close for my liking. gave me flashbacks of my BMX falling against my dads Mk2 granny. I was not popular. Stunning motor (and bike)

Brown & gold, the two best colours on a cortina

Love the south african look, rock hard

Gorgeous Mk5, love the S stripes really want a set on my GLS

Always nice to see another Mk5 in safe hands. Any progress yet?

Hi, my uncles a mechanic and recently a customer brought in his Mk2 B-reg Fiesta 1.1 Popular Plus and it turns out the brake servo's knackerered. local scrappy's, ebay, euro car parts and Fords all turned up nothing so I thought i'd help him out by seeing if anyone on here could help. If anyone has one they'd like to sell please let me know. Also, Were the servo's the same right from the Pop plus up to the XR2? and did the Mk3 use the same servo or did they change it? all help appreciated. Cheers

You might want to try Rother council, they have a field at Glyne Gap which is about 2 miles along the seafront from Rock a Nore towards Bexhill. It is hardly used except for 1 circus and about 6 boot sales a year.

Truly Gutted, Had a mate coming over Friday to assist in a polish of the Cortina and currently rushing to get my Raleigh burner back together in time to bring along too. Ashamed to live in Hastings right now, but please don't give up on the place.

I Live In Hastings so im really glad to see OSF come down this way again I shall be there.

yeah I still get on occasionally; not seen paul on here since he flogged the brown beastie. The cossie'd mex was lovely; and its got my initials on the number plate I hear you're running a pretty tasty Mex of your own now?

Gorgeous 280 was 1 of only 3 made with an Auto box

Only just got my pc working again so heres the fords from the Bodiam show a couple of months back.

Java Green on a MkII RS, Truly 70's. I've just done my kitchen an identical colour to it.

Not as big as previous years due to the Stade undergoing new development; highly opposed by most locals. A new restaurant and art gallery have really eaten into the space. The 2nd day spilled over into the rock a nore carpark where the OSF Meet happened in Sept 2010. Pretty good Ford turnout. Saw these on the short journey down to the seafront before we got into the show. And Once in the show...

Lovely weather, Gorgeous cars, great location. Here are the OSF's from the day. I Was beginning to think mine might be the last GL S-pack Mk5 Estate til this beauty turned up

Some pix from before the rain rolled in.

The mrs was in Jersey last week visiting her sister and snapped these at a track meet.

Got my copy today. brilliant to finally see the pix from the Hastings show. My gold estate snuck into a shot thanks to getting parked next to posse's Mk1 lol

lol i had a scan through to see if anyone posted about it too, must not have gone back far enough

Oh man I love those reflector strips with the cars name on, used to see those all the time in the mid 80's on XR2's & 3i's. Never seen a granny one, super retro mod

Uber sleeper! Love square lamps on a MK2.

Cossie lump too, that'll be nippy
