Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 osf when i was 17 (1989) i just wanted a mk5 cortina which was a bit strange for a young lad as they were mainly reps cars not boy racers it was just my favourite car i got one when i was 18 but a few months later swapped it for a 2 door mk2 escort now i had 2 favourite cars and for ages just had either mk 5 cortinas or mk2 escorts most of my mk2 escorts were 4 door though i had a few capris along the line too so now i cant decide my top favourite 1st joint mk5 cortina with 2 door mk2 escort 2nd 4 door mk2 escort the rest i love them all not as keen on the mk2 granny though
BIGKEV Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 If I got bored of the Escort I would want to get a consul classic fastback jobby
Copey Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 easy one really, toss up between the mk1 and mk3 capri i love the mk1 standard, but i cant leave anythin alone and i think mk3s have more options for subtle mods ie mk2 bumpers, different wheels, mirrors etc nothin too drastic, i think for that reason i am gonna say the mk3
mk1super Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Mk1 escort is all ive owned and drove so really couldnt say, mind you i did drive a transit and it was good fun
Stu_B Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Love the old Consuls, Z cars, Mk2 & Mk3 Cortina's I like Anglias, Capris & Escorts buy not that fussed about owning one (even though I have an Anglia Estate & have just sold one )
Retro-gone. Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 if i didnt have the capri id be looking for a 50's consul, arse end in air of course
DanV Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 100E's and MK1 Zephyrs for me But there are not many (if any) OSF's i dont really like
Noodles Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 The estate was my first, nearly brought a mk1 transit ice cream van a while back just to fly up pod with the music playing If i was to start a new project it would be a space framed V8 100e all satin
mk1super Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 nearly brought a mk1 transit ice cream van a while back just to fly up pod with the music playing That would be class
bigdaz27 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 mk1 escort or a mk2 cortina or maybe a mk1 cortina
deltamal Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 I like the corty a LOT, if I had the space for a second car it would be a mk1 Zodie, would have to be a v8 sleeper though!
FredTransit Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Gonna have a capri one day, but do have a soft spot for the granny. I think it's all about what I couldn't afford when they were new.
escortwithsunroof Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 would have to be a stripped out twink (rep or real) mk1 escort in diamond white with square lamps, 1800 cross-flow on twin 50's, simgle seat and 8x13's minilites on the back and 5x13's on the front, just to rag it down pod
sab6024 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 mine has always been and will always be a MK1 Escy...any model!! With the Capri coming a very close second. I shall be looking at getting another Capper in the future unless mine don't sell this weekend
X-pack-Glyn Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 if i didnt have the capri id be looking for a 50's consul, arse end in air of course yeah, that sounds cool.... with 185/60 13s fitted as well
Jonb Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 After the escort, it would have to be one of these JPS capri (bought one of em at 18, when my first escy got nicked - Beige 2 door mk 2, UWT242R if anyone sees it, I'm still looking) Zephyr 6 - its the fins - 3 inch roof chop and dropped as low as it would go Mk1 or 2 transit
bigglesmk2 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 My fav is deffo a mk2 escort,any model any number of door's in any cond just as long as it's a mk2 Could quite easily have been a cortina or an anglia though. My brother had a mk5 cortina which was promissed to me until it got nicked,then i got my eyes on an anglia rusting away outside some indians shop but my dad wouldnt let me buy it till i was 16,by that time it had gone. My other brother then offered me the mk2 i have now and it became my all time fav.
vibrating_Cake Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 mmmmmm im a strange one here, i'd never seen a mk3 capper in the flesh.... until i bought mine, but from there i'd say its a brilliant car no doubt about that. wouldnt mind having a mk2 escort mind!!! someone is gonna shoot me here but i do right fancy one of them brand new skylines in "off white" colour, they are just so agressive in the styling and go like STINK!!!! either that or a celica gt4 (220bhp out of the box with 4wd and jap crap engine, so im sure you can get a helluva lot more power from it) also one in white with castrol stickers mm mm mmmmm before all this i always wanted a renault 5 gt turbo 2 (the mid engined rwd group b spec one!!) and i still do to this day, i think they are mint! sorry to go off the old fords... but i go for driving and pure performance (hence most of mine being 4wd )
Mr Sam Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 RS turbo *runs* well originally before i knew about the escorts and everything else i wanted a mk3 capper and i bought the anglia as i knew i could never afford a mk1 escort
DanV Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 RS turbo *runs* well originally before i knew about the escorts and everything else i wanted a mk3 capper and i bought the anglia as i knew i could never afford a mk1 escort I miss my S1...Was a good fun car but i got with a girl who had a baby and it just had to go
Mr Sam Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 i was joking i wouldnt mind a fiesta RST though
stevepeanut Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 I remember getting a lift in one of my aunties friends cars and it was a black 2.8 capri, sometime in the 80s. But earlier than that, there were 2 brothers on our street who both had tuned up mk2 escorts, so remember them in the early 80s. Plus another local kid, teared around in a mk4 cortina with huge spotlights on the front. guess mk2 escorts stand out most in my mind and thats why I've always wanted one
barney9969 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 all ways wanted a mk2 mexico .. i have had mk3 mk4 mk5 tinas and a mk4 2.3 s a 2.8i capri... 3 mk2 grannys....a 1.6 ghia and a 16 sport and a rs 2000 mk 2 s.......mex is the best .......but it did cost me loads
