20 years from now...

[Mr.Sumo]

...do you still think you"ll be in love with OSF"S ?

 

Having a ponder the other day and thought ...its been 20 years since i bought my 1st Old Skool ( a mk3 Cortina 2.0GT ) am i re-living my youth now or is the Old Skool thing something you just can"t shake off as you grow older

 

So , do you think you"ll still be in love with the Old Skool scene when your in your 40"s or do you think married life and kids will kill off your love for all things Old Skool Ford ?

 

Discuss.......................

If you're still in your 40's twenty years from now then I want some of what you're drinking!!

 

 

Dunno is the answer from me, but probably. I guess it depends on family and work related things whether I'll always be able to have an OSF toy in the garage.

You know what i mean age wise , more a question for the younger members of OSF

[Savvi]

As you know Ian i'm in my 40's and had my 1st old Ford when i was 13.

 

After a long break i'm now back owning them as i felt there was something "missing" in my life !!!!

 

So i guess a few of the "hardcore" younger guys and girls will still have an Old skool Ford of some kind in their later years ...............if there are any left by then !!!

 

 

P.s

Our mission................. to hold onto some for the youngsters ?

You mean I'm not young anymore??

No, you're never too old to Rock'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

i'm 25 so in 20 years i think i'll still be into osf's, maybe by that point they'll be that rare that i might not be able to afford one but think osf love is for life

[Duke3s]

im just 27 and had the capri 4 years now.

i cant see myself getting rid - but then i dont have to pay for babies yet either!

maybe in that length of time a few things may be different - may of had to replace the engine with an hydrogen unit or something to still be legal!

[ratman]

nope she's a keeper

 

just when im 63 i recon its time for a flat cap and petrol will be £25 per ltr

[bortaf]

Yes, yes i will, never been out of old fords.

Unlike some i'm into em cos i like em not cos it's cool or a "scene" it's my way of life, 7 days a week 52 weeks a year and has been for the last 20 years only thing is i may have to give up breaking em cos they are getting to bleeding expensive to buy

Even a sierra parts car is £100 pluss nowdays

[marky4]

can't see me selling the escort, think my boys want it of me when i've had enough but i think they will be in for a long wait

Same here, the kids have already asked.

[louie bagel]

i'm damn sure i'll still have mine and probably more , even if the nobends that run the country ban petrol i'll still have em

[Mr Sam]

i might have my anglebox running by then

[sab6024]

I shall be in my 40s, still single and driving around in a Capri that is rotten more than the one I have now

[Slammed]

i will be into them by that time guys nothing to worry about there then

[surfingturnip]

if I'm not dead chances are I'm still gonna be living the oldskool way of life

[tazrocks88]

if there are still roads my escort will be rolling on them or sliding on them

[X-pack-Glyn]

To be honest i dont think il be into em 20 months from now, never mind 20 years.

 

the prices are a total joke to be honest, you all moan about paying 6 quid a gallon for unleaded allready but step into the real world, £2k for a rotton old escort 4 door, rotten twin cams fetching £10k, you cant even get a running tatty mk3 capri now for under a grand...

 

its all starting to become a big joke to me im afraid so im looking into future classics that dont cost the remortgaged earth..

 

its a real shame though as its been fun, i think we have all lost our way TBH, old fords were fast and fun and the whole point was they were AFORDABLE!!!

[JAY PS]

Have to say i will be 57 ,so whats the chances of my Mk1 GT being done by then,its been off the road 19 yrs now!!

I think the the world would have changed in another 20yrs ,petrol ,tax and ownership may be too expensive for some of us and i think the laws governing our cars will make them all museum pieces

Ratman and me will have 62 yr old Cortinas !!!

 

Still i think the reason the o/s/f scene is so popular is the cars are simple ,the technology basic and the fun to be had still quiet cheap .

Dont think the o/s/f/ scene will ever die out ,but the numbers of cars will.

[jed]

Erm.. if im still alive then id say yes cos ive had them since i was about 12yrs old with me dad and brothers it dont feel right without them mind you though if the wife had her way they would be gone tomorrow.....Bitch

[escortmad79]

Been in love with them for over 20 years so far so can't see why not

[zetecmk2]

i love all cars with character. i see my escort as a stepping stone to something i want more, the same as the mini's, gordini's etc were before i had an escort (or a "kooltina" )!!! as long as the final chapter includes a gt40, i dont care how i get there!! (i'd settle for a 6r4 or 037 though)

[mk3cokebottle]

all depends on what is making money in 20 years i geuss

 

but i will deffo have one stored up somewhere

[mk1super]

Cant see me losing intrest in em anytime soon. And any offspring i have will be brainwashed into liking old fords and bikes like me!

[Stu_B]

I might have got the hang of welding & got around to doing my mk3 by then

 

Not all OSF prices are a joke... I can't get rid of my Estate & I'm giving it away at £600
