It's all the salt, crud and permanently filth I can't stand. You get your car clean and tidy and it's clean for a second. Misted up windscreens, condensation, uff, it's a pain in ****.

Brilliant vid, thanks for posting it.

I couldn't get any pics as it was with an old boy who's son works with my brother-in-law, it was one of these 'friend of a friend' sort of things. Still, he was very apologetic and made me a nice cup of tea before I left, so it wasn't all bad! The one in the link is a bit beyond my budget, I want something to work on and play with, but thanks for linking it.

Went to look at Fiesta today, took me two hours to get there, and two hours back, still, I thought this'll be worth it, I was told it was a tired but solid mkI Ghia, which is perfect (I'd love a Supersport, but cant really afford one). So I get there and it's a knackered late mkII, no rear seats, rust everywhere. The chap who had it thought the mkI/mkII were one and the same, which I guess is sort of a fair mistake to make if you're not well up on cars, but all that way for nothing. Still, the search continues I guess!

Cool, looks very interesting.

Thanks mate. Chap over on Retro Rides is just down the road from me and has a friend with a mkI that he's not got time or room for, don't know much about spec, it's a 1.1 with XR2 alloys, hoping to hear more in the next few days.

I hoping to look at one this week, it might be a Ghia, not sure yet, but someone offered it to my brother-in-law as he's a Ford man too, but with owning a Sapphire Cosworth he's got no use for it. Hopefully know more later!

Cheers!

Evening all, My names Adam, but call me Ads. I'm a freelance journo who's written for a couple of different car makes with a classic leaning. I love 60's-80's stuff from most marques and I'm on the look out for a mkI Fiesta. I currently own a 01 MG ZS and a 74 MG BGT, but would love an early Fiesta. My family's got quite a big Ford history so after lurking I thought it time I join up and start talking to you all! So, erm, hi!
