Yorkshireman saying hello!

[yorkshireman]

Hi guys and girls.

 

Im Dave and own a 1990 XR 3i SP Cab, I also drive a none ford motor 'FTO GPX' but u didnt really want to know about the Jab car.

 

Had my XR 3i about 4 years now and been to about a dozen show and several big meets. Love driving topless when the sun is out.

 

Just love old fords and was at Fairhaven this sunday showing my motor and drualing over some awsome Fords on display.

 

I have organised meets before as a member of the FTO owners club and have decided to organise a Retro Ford meet at my workplace here in Leeds. If any of you have some nice motors to show and ur in the Yorkshire region then you are invited to come along. I have posted the details under the regional meets section.

Hello Dave and welcome to OSF While your X.R.3i is viewed as "old skool" on many of the forums and indeed in Classic Ford Mag, unfortunately it is not classed as Old Skool enough for Old Skool Ford and you will see that we are mainly about the MK1 and MK2 model Escorts and, as such, you won't find any talk of your particular model

 

However, don't let that put you off ... you are more than welcome on the forum, I just thought you might like to be pre-warned that you may not find the information or technical help that you might be looking for on OSF (Old Skool Ford)

 

Like Zetec Van says, there are plenty of Yorkshire folk on the forum

Well when I was 20 years younger I always dreamed of owning an XR 3i but didnt have the spare dosh to get one. Now I have, ok 20 years later so what and to me its an OLD SKOOL motor whatever u lot say. LOL

 

My brother owns a nice MK1 Ford Consul in that nice powder blue but doesnt show it anymore, its wrapped up in his garage. What a waste.

 

Im sure the XR 3i will become a classic in time. It brings me tons of pleasure and will just carry on caring for it till it gets as old as a MK1 or Mk2!!!!! Yer, yer yer there ya go.

I know u guys have some really old fantastic fords and hey you have my respect. So who coming to my meet?
