RFChris Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 Right guys. As you know the Capri has gone. But out with the old, in with new as they say. My question is what should i get next. I loved the Capri but i can;t have another. Whatever i get next has to be a four door. I was thinking about going for a Consul or Zodiac again as i loved that car. Whaddya reckon? It has to be something a bit different, so no Escorts ( i like Escorts, don't get me wrong ) It;s only going to be a weekend car so engine size etc isn;t an issue. Colmon Milne Granny limo.... MKIII Tina..... Consul..... Corsair..... Discuss!
atomic punk Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 Mark 4 Cortina all the way better lookin than the mk5, rarer than a mk3 plenty of metal to deflect oncoming Micras, comfy, unbustable Pinto what more could you want? BTW, is it only me on here who has a Mk5 Cortina or are there others?

I agree, good practical choice that won't break the bank and it just so happens I know where there's a damn good Mk IV 2.0s for sale, check out my post in cars for sale.

RFChris Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Posted September 20, 2006 Oddly Dom.....i really like that.
Dom Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 I'm just thinking practically. You drive down to the pub, get smashed, stumble out to the car park, fumble with keys for 5 mins, find the right one, get inside and sleep. Then in the morning you can do yourself a good fry up before driving home. I just like the bell really
mk2_boy Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 if you buy a cortina mk4/5 you will have LOOOOOOAAAAAADDDDSSS of spares avaliable both mechanical and trim and the front end of a mk4/5 cortina looks mean! and safe for the sprog when it arrives the doors on a tina are very strong! (just watch the a posts!) if i had an old skool on the road as a daily, i'd have another cortina or mk2 granada, but the granada is loads more thirsty to run every day, the tina aint too bad! just an opinion mind
RFChris Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Posted September 20, 2006 Mk3 tina - you know it makes sense! ....can i have yours?
mk2_boy Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %3AIT&rd=1 or try one of these!
Stu_B Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 err no - you can help me get it thru the MOT though!!
Dom Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-F100-PICKUP_ ... dZViewItem buy it
perry Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 You drive down to the pub, get smashed, stumble out to the car park, fumble with keys for 5 mins, find the right one, get inside and sleep. Then in the morning you can do yourself a good fry up before driving home. you gotta be carefull with that as even though it sounds like the smart thing to do , the police see it as because you are still holding your keys , you are still in charge of the vehicle and you can still be prosucuted or thats what ive been told anyway if anyone well informed can prove me wrong please do so oh and by the time youve read this chris would have bought and sold at least 3 cars , so the voting is irelivant
Pipster007 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Go for the Coleman limo Granny. You can pick myself, Kev and Emma up for the Xmas bash in it. We also will require a bar in it too
mk1super Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Ok ive had a vision!!!! Mk3 tina 2 door painted signal orange with white number circles on the doors no numbers tho,bubble arches,slammed on 15inch minis running a ford or chevy V8 with NOS,striped out two buckets full cage, twin side exit pipes. maybe some one could do a mock up? I think it would look the mutts nuts
Gareth Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Sound cool but not much of a family car dude. Does sound fun though............. Why not persuade nightmares racing to part with his mk3 estate If the v6 still has injection, convert it to lpg
