Looks immaculate Deltamal! I like!

There once was a time when Cortinas were everywhere. Your dad had one, your uncle had one, your mate’s dad had one – you couldn’t turn a street corner without being met with the best-selling car of the 70s. Five generations and 4.3million cars later, production finally ended in 1982 – but the British love affair with the Cortina still hasn’t gone away. We’ve been exploring the history and cult status of the Cortina to find out just what has made it such an icon. You can read our article over on the new Cult Classics website, along with articles about some of our other favourites from years gone by: https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/cult-classics/ford-cortina/ Did you or your family used to drive a Cortina? Do you still drive one today? Share your memories and pictures below!

We have one main prize and a couple of runners up prizes on offer. To Enter All you need to do is call us for a quote on the Adrian Flux phone number on this forum during September 2015 and leave a comment on this thread to let us know you’ve called, we will then pick 3 winners at random from all the participating forums and PM them for their details. Current Adrian Flux customers can also enter, just by leaving a comment in this thread. So, let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the Flux prize board...( any reference to the Gameshow “Bullseye” is purely coincidence ) IIINNN ONE (3rd place): “There’s no excuses, it’s time to shine with this Meguiars Gold Class Wash and Wax kit consisting of Gold Class Shampoo, Gold Class liquid wax and an applicator pad to get you started! What’s more we’ll throw in a £20 high street shopping voucher.” IIINNN TWO (2nd place): “Sunday afternoons will never be boring again; you’ll have the car shining in no time with another Meguiars Gold Class Wash and Wax kit, including Gold Class Shampoo, Gold Class liquid wax and an applicator pad.

As well as providing high quality car care products, Meguiars also hold FREE detailing seminars for Owners Club and Forums at their Northampton HQ which includes:- • A 45 minute presentation of "Best Practice" in the Training Room.

Or if you prefer, they’ll come and give a LIVE demo at your AGM or annual meet.

Did you know that the Citroen 2CV had a five-year waiting list within months of going on sale? Or that, back in the 60s, the Porsche 912 outsold its bigger, faster, more-famous brother, the 911, almost two to one? We love our cars here at Adrian Flux – we make no secret of that – but even after all these years we still come across new facts and figures that surprise us. Over the years we’ve discovered countless stories, pictures and facts about some of our favourite cars – and we’ve now decided to launch a brand-new site to share the highlights with you. From the 2CV and 912 to Imps, Elans and Wolseleys, the website will be updated regularly with new cars to drool over – an archive of everything we love about cars, and a place to learn more about some real classics. You can leave comments on each article to let us know what you think, and share your own stories with other readers. Let us know what cars you’d like to see included in future posts too! Head over to https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/cult-classicsnow to read the first three articles, and check back regularly for more throughout the year. Thanks! Dan.

Hi guys and girls, Hope you don’t mind a new thread. Adrian Flux Insurance now offer a new extra benefit which is available to add to a policy called FlexDrive. In short, if you have the ‘Driving other cars’ extension on your policy, which will only give you cover against third party risks, this ‘top-up’ policy will increase the cover to a comprehensive level giving up to £20,000 worth of cover for the car you are driving. I'm not trying to give it the hard sell here - I just thought with it being unique as far as I know in the market, it was worth talking about. It does have some restrictions; you must already have the driving other cars third party only benefit on your policy (this doesn't buy you the extension), the car must be insured, not belong to you, or be registered at your address. It can only be added to an Adrian Flux insurance policy. The policy is perfect for someone who has friends or relatives who are ‘in to’ their cars like you and I. Using someone else’s car with just third party cover is always a bit awkward, especially if something happens! It won’t suit everyone I know, but for people like you and I who love their cars, it could be very handy. At £24.99 a year it’s very reasonably priced. Cheers, Dan.

Hi, I'm glad we could help out and thanks for the positive feedback. If you ever have any questions then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan.

Thanks for the entries so far guys! I've confirmed Pete and one other member so far - See you there!

So guys and girls, the start of the show season is here, the weather is improving by the day (touch wood!) and it’s time to get the car out and make it sparkle ready for the summer. Here at Flux towers, we thought what better way to prepare you other than to give away a fantastic prize?! We’ve come up trumps on this one and have a Nilfisk C110 4.5 X-tra 110 Bar High Performance Pressure Washer to give away to one lucky winner! “How do I get my hands on that awesome piece of kit?” I hear you ask? Step 1: All you need to do is call in on the dedicated club line, 0800 181 4541 , and receive a quotation during April. If it’s easier, you can PM us to arrange for us to call you (Just send us a few of your details, include your telephone number and email address so we can then contact you) “I’ve already got my insurance with you guys” – That’s fine! Just jump straight to Step 2. Step 2: Once you have received your quotation or if you are already a policy holder with us, you need to post on this thread and give us the most imaginative, funny, clever reason as to why you need this prize in your life. I want you to get really imaginative with this and make us laugh (if you can). You must complete step one to be in with a chance of winning, as we will validate the chosen winner by tracing their quote/policy. It’s as simple as that, so get your thinking caps on guys. I’m looking forward to giving this great prize away to the lucky winner! Terms Of Entry. 1 entry per person. Adrian Flux underwriting criteria applies.

Hi everyone. Just in case you aren’t aware of me this is just a short introduction, I’m Dan and I’ve worked for Adrian Flux Insurance for nearly 24 years. If any of you on here have any general insurance queries or specific problems with Adrian Flux insurance please let me know. I have handpicked a small but dedicated team of staff who with me will try and assist you wherever possible. I can assure you we will be completely impartial despite being on the payroll of Adrian Flux. If we have messed-up we will acknowledge that and make efforts to get it corrected. If any of you do not understand an insurer’s viewpoint we will do our best to clearly explain it. It could be problems ranging from simple paperwork issues to major claim disputes. With our many years of experience we should be able to answer most queries immediately. If there were issues or a problem that we can’t answer directly we would ensure that a relevant manager investigates these and we would then be able to relay an answer back. I hope this will be of some help for you. On behalf of myself and my team, thanks very much. Dan. Adrian Flux Insurance Services
