Your CV of motoring

[jamesg]

Just wondered what cars you used to own before you discovered the world of old skool fords. mines quite bad.

 

Fiat Cinquecento 899cc (i was 17)

Rover Metro 1.0

Ford Fiesta 1.3 (mk4)

Vauxhall Astra 1.6 (mk3)

Vauxhall Calibra (2.0 red top)

 

Then finally found the light and bought my Mk3 Capri

[Andrade]

always oldskool, but not always ford (though i did stick a 1.3 pinto in the viva)

 

1963 Anglia Estate

1971 Vauxhall Viva

1976 Capri Mk2

[Vista]

None

 

My first car was a mk1 Escort 2 door saloon in 1985 or 6. I had a few years without between 1987 and 1990 (during which time I owner a mini, then a mk1 Cavalier followed by a Mk1 Astra 1600SR) then two 2.8i capris in succession as daily drivers (1990 - 1994). But for a brief spell between late 2003 and mid 2004 I have had an OSF alongside my daily ever since about 1994.
