Oi, nowt wrong with a nice 120y, the 120y Coupe was even nicer. Old Skool Jap

 

BTW, my dad wasn't that much of a bad influence on me either - hence my Angle Box

I wish my dad brought me up with cars - kinda glad he didn't though cause I'd be driving in a Volvo or a skoda

[ribbit]

i get it from my dad, he had 2 xr2s, a mk1 import from germany that was a write off, he rebuilt it all. it got stolen then found then stolen again w*****s. a mk2 which got stolen and couldnt be arsed finding it. then he settled down with a 205 gti 1.9 pug. so not a bad influence really.

I remember my old man had a white mk 2 'tina gt and a navy blue transit van, always remember him when I see them.

[Noodles]

I got the escort for work (not anymore) my familys always been into bikes Iv had 4 at one time. The OSF come from my bro having a bright blue 4 door with van leaf springs on the back so it sat right in the air. He had one for a while he was trying to get a v8 into and his mate had a mk2 which he wrote off by takin off on a hump back bridge and hitting a brand new mk1 corsa

Fraid can"t give my old man credit for my love of OSF"s......its all down to my Mum and her Anglia , then Corsair 2000e then a succesion of Cortinas .... up til it all went wrong and she bought a Chrysler Alpine....

[sutton4ord]

Yea i blame my old dad 4 the car seen passed his test in a 105e and had a number of 100es cortinas best 1 i remember was the fordson van in late 70s with a v6 blown drag engine did it go . Go on haynes senior get some wheelie bars that should help you 2 keep on the tarmac.

[Jelly]

My Dad's always maintained that an Escort is a bit of a poof's car..

 

 

 

He's always been into his Cortinas, with ample legroom and plenty of elbow-out-of-the-window cruising..

[oldskool4me]

i got into osf,s by my brother he brought a mk2 xr2 not oldskool but that was what started it strangely enough and now i just love osf i have truly been bitten by the osf bug

[Haynesmanual]

Well i got it home Just! oil leaking out burning on the exhaust, Exhaust blowing and the carbs (solex) are spitting and popping all over the place. . i think i fixed the oil leak, rocker cover was loose. Got it running a bit better but the carbs have been mounted solidly to the manifold So have got to sort that out! It still flys though .

Will post pics soon.
