100edave Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 As you can see she is a little 'play-worn' and needs a bit of tlc, but she's so solid underneath! Ziebart from new loads of bills and paperwork. Only done 65,000 miles and looks like its done 650,000! Better for me to knock about in this over winter and use it daily than my blue one. Its got single leaf springs deep dish steels as well What do ya reckon? (alt+p) (alt+p) (alt+p) (alt+p) (alt+p) (alt+p) (alt+p) (alt+p) (alt+p) (alt+p) (alt+p) (alt+p)
gpcmatric Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 looks a bit battered mate but should clean up with a T cut how many have you got now youll need a multi storey soon
In The Pit Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Good idea to use a tatty one over winter and keep your blue L safe from salted and flooded roads. I have a tatty GL that I use over winter but wouldn't risk any of my good MKII's (even if your careful in winter driving conditions other people are not). When summer comes you could go back to the blue L then tidy up the orange L ready for the following winter.
100edave Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Posted November 26, 2009 Yeah, i thought about driving in the snow and gritted roads in my blue one and it made me feel sick! The good thing is no one will interfere with it cos it looks like a breaker Drive it around over winter and then clean it up a bit. I think i got 5 OSF now! How addictive are they?!
Andrade Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Only done 65,000 miles are you sure the speedo works? I'd rather have a battered classic for everyday than anything past 1980
lotusless Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 nice one dave you have got the osf bug bad now aint ya see you at chelsea if its not tipping it down
100edave Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Posted November 26, 2009 Yeah, see you there Neil i got more attention on the way home today than i used to in my RS2000 i cant stand modern motors at least i can drive a mk2 about and not worry about it coming to any harm
In The Pit Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Also as the car is beige you'll get more attention as there are hardly any beige cars on the road so its a colour that really stands out. I noticed this as my tatty GL is beige and when I was driving my immaculate red MKII about it didn't get anywhere near as many looks as the beige one as red doesn't stand out like beige does.
lotusless Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 you should stick the wheels off your blue one on it though
100edave Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Posted November 26, 2009 Maybe a bargain set I kinda like the deep steels, at least ive had it sideways already!!
GJUK Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Well. It's not going to get nicked is it.
mk2_escort_chick Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Embrace the beige! I love beige
moredoorAsh Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 I do like a 4-door, wish mine was on the road for some winter fun
Ste-V Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 That looks cool as! Do me something like that for the winter season
BaileyMex Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 slam it!!!! You know it makes sense
100edave Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Posted November 29, 2009 i put some better pics up for all Bloody hell! I had 3 "do you want to sell this" notes on it today when i was out
In The Pit Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 I remember back in the 90's seeing lots of tatty MKII's just like that still providing their owners with a reliable service. It's nice to see.
