[rob-loves-osf]

Hi fella's

 

Well it seems that im possibly going to be the new owner of a mk2 fiesta

was thinking though..... seen as im seeing them more and more in CF

well... i know its not upto osf standards.. "to euro lookin,plastic bumpers"...

it is based on the mk1 very closely i believe... just face lifted

well... would the car look stupid if it had the osf sticker on the winscreen?

and would i still be welcome to tag along to the shows??

 

not wanting to start any debate but...

you stick your oldskool sticker on mate,its up to you know one else and its still advertising the site and its still on an 80s ford

[rob-loves-osf]

yeah i agree 80's is still old skool! so... let folk laugh if they want its old and it was made at the same time as the capri's were so.. what the difference

 

Thanks guys

 

Rob :D

but tecnically the capri is a 70s design cause now you just invited a shit load of rst's, mk3 &4 scorts and the range of jelly moulds the capri was the last true osf

I've got a mk2 Fiesta as a daily driver. I might get an OSF sticker for it and take a picture as I know it will wind some people up.

It's not OSF according to the rules of this site, but it is retro, and a future classic.

[5hane]

IMO its a classic,

 

not oldskool though,

 

its more cossy / rsturbo era *

 

 

 

 

(* no comments on mk3 capris either, there oldskool and thats that )

[vibrating_Cake]

tbh the mk2 fez in my opinion should be in the oldskool list... think we should start a petition

[2litreScapri]

 

or

 

 

Classic, not strictly OSF, but most people I think would classify both Festas as old skool. Mk3 onwards definitely plastic

[turnover]

listen i know it aint oldskool but give him a break if he wants to put the sites logo in its up to him,at the end of the day some mk2 escorts were made till 1981/2 and so was the mk3 escort so what you saying mk2 escort isnt oldskool

[Mr2Caps]

 

I had one of those! in blue with the wheel trims and not the pepperpots, would have another one any day. The only car I still miss having sold on.

 

Mk2 are classic but not oldskool, as stated according to the rules of the site, I reckon a sticker would be ok, so long as its not being done to increase the value of the car....

[Mk2Jo]

Put your sticker on whatever car you like mate

[sampedlar06]

put it on mate. theres loads of other cars driving about with them on, seen a mitsubishi warrior and a skip lorry with one. and they deffinatly aint OSF

[caprinerd]

yes the mk2 festa is classic but it aint old skool and tbh even if you had a newer motor, you buy the sticker youput it on what ever you like your sticker your choice mate

[rob-loves-osf]

yeah i suppose but tbh if plastic bumpers etc then that would indeed make the tickford capri a NON OSF wouldnt it?

But here's my point if i was a paid up member and being a past owner of a mk1 fiesta - well... seen as i always wanted another one but now ive come to buy one and there's non around the only option left for me is the mk2.

so if i was a payed up member that could only get as close as an true osf - being a mk2 fiesta . would i then be shunned? by some other members on here?

 

Not wanting to start any arguements here

just want to be able to still feel part of the osf - even though i have lost my mk1 fiesta which is recognised as a proper oldskool motor..

then i have no other option that to buy the next closest thing.

 

Always wanted to see myself as part of the scene but when i had the mk1 i couldnt drive.. now im getting very very close to be able to drive. there's no mk1's around that i can afford... sod bloody law!!
