lotusless Posted September 11, 2007 Report Posted September 11, 2007 well i finally talked my mrs into getting an osf! i had a very reliable (but boring) vw golf. + i have been looking for a daily driver for ages i have missed out on so many good cars lately mainly because of a very limited budget well i sold my golf on thursday last week + went out the same day + put a deposit on my new one. i picked it up on friday + have spent most of the time since then cleaning it! still got more to do though under the bonnett. it also needed a few jobs doing luckily they didn't cost much to do. also little bits of paintwork here + there to tidy it up but it's looking a bit better now, it's not immaculate but it's clean. this is my only car so it will be used all the time, it's nice to have an old car again + it does put a smile on my face driving it, it's not the fastest thing in world being a 1.3 but i like it, the interior was a bit manky + it has mk5 escort front seats but i put a set of covers on them + at least its tidy, the kids do moan though my eldest she's 14 said i cant believe we got rid of a nice car + got a BEIGE grandads car!! bless her. i even found today one of those magnetic key holder things they used to sell! stuck under the bumper god knows how long thats been there? anyway enough of me waffling on but if anyone spots me out + about give me a wave you cant miss me in the BEIGE MOBILE!

ZetecVan 2.0 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Posted September 11, 2007 Ford Beige paint must have excellent 'anti rust' qualities. All the mint fords are always beige!

lotusless Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Posted September 12, 2007 thanks for all the comments lads, i really hate the height of it though + i wanted to lower it 2 inches all round but where i live it's nothing but bloody speed bumps, + with 4 of us in there it might be a bit dodgy but i might do it + make the kids go by bus
Admin Vista Posted September 12, 2007 Admin Report Posted September 12, 2007 Ford Beige paint must have excellent 'anti rust' qualities. All the mint fords are always beige! Isn't that because they're normally bought by grandads? (spend most of the time locked up in a garage) Nice find mate, looks lovely.
