Old Skool & Loving It (6/15)

  1. Yes sorry I did not no the ka come out in 96, But people don't have to look at the cars that are not there cup of tea??? I think a lot of the youth would love old skool fords however the price of them is to dear and we all have to start somewhere, I can see both points of view and I can see why classic ford are trying to open the doors up a bit. Maybe they should of not gone to 1996 and had pre 90 as a first step. I personally think a lot of people think if its not rwd its not old skool or a classic 1/4 of a mile would be fun surely??? P.s im not a fan of newer cars myself I do like pre 90s though and as we get older there will be what people say plastic bumper models becoming classic cars!
  2. Cars of the 90s MK3 fiesta MK5 Escort / Orion MK1 Mondeo Sierra Granada Yes they all have plastic bumpers but most of them now are owned by enthusiasts you don't see many of them on the roads anymore, The cosworth range were great cars! And things like the mk1 mondeo (although not my cup of tea) 2.0 zetec's are being used in rwd old skool fords, along with newer ford engines ( we like this idea don't we) I have no problem in seeing 80s and 90s fords, I don't like some of the tastes don't get me wrong but that's the same with any age car. I do think if it was laid out correct it could be a good show (old and up to 96) A lot of folk used to have mk1 escorts etc in their youth and now they are re-living their youth with their pride and joys Time goes on and we are all getting older, Surely it's history repeating itself maybe the classic scene we seem to be in is getting vintage! My youth was mk1 fiesta's and it will be the fiesta's 40th year of production next year! So there may be a great turn out at classic ford. I will add i think classic should however be 25 years and older. Controlled correctly i can't see a problem and if my local shopping car park was full of cossies and rs turbos etc id be happy to go and have a nose, Most of us were and still are boy racers aren't we. To sum up people don't like change and the next generation will be the same. Not trying to upset folk....

  8. Haynes Breakfast Club Venue: Haynes International Motor Museum Calling all motoring enthusiasts! On the first Sunday of each month we are running a breakfast club open to all marques. As well as meeting other vehicle owners, participants can chat over a coffee and a hearty breakfast (from a full English to a bacon roll) in Café 750. The new very popular Museum café will be open from 9am. So please do come and join us for a likeminded get together. These events are free to attend and are a real opportunity for vehicle owners to show off their cars at the front of the prestigious Museum. This is the first time we have ran an event like this and we hope that you will join us for many Sundays to come. For the second breakfast club on the 1st March and future breakfast events: · Three Curator’s Choice VIP exclusive parking / show spaces on Haynes Green, the prime location immediately in front of Café 750; to register for one of these limited spaces please contact us via email marketing@haynesmotormuseum.co.uk stating your vehicle details attaching a current image. Closing date for entries Friday 13th February. Matt Piper, Museum Curator will select the three vehicles with the aim of always representing a broad spectrum of marques. The successful vehicle owners will be contacted one week before the event to arrange access to the elite spaces. We will also email all other entries to inform them of the results at this stage but of course we look forward to welcoming all marques to the club with equally open arms. Future dates: 12th April (please note this is the second Sunday of the month because of Easter) 3rd May 7th June 5th July 2nd August 13th September (please note this is the second Sunday of the month because of Rare Breeds Motor Show) 4th October 1st November 6th December
