bazoff72 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Hi all as you have probably gathered I have just joined, I have recently purchased a mk1 escort which I am really excited about. this is the second mk1 I have owned the first was when I was 17" VGJ414M" 1300E, funny how you can remember your first cars reg. not really sure what I have just purchased due to the log book reading RS2000 but im sure it is not , car reg " UPF908M". anyway it is under going restoration at the moment and im counting down the days until I can drive it , if all goes to plan it should be ready middle of March. as I have said I owned my first mk1 back when I was 17 it ended up Daytona yellow and I lived in London at the time so Chelsea cruise, crystal palace and Sutton were the haunts that I used to visit now I live in the west midlands and I am sure there are meets going on somewhere so if anybody reads this post then I would appreciate some info regarding where to find them. one last thing I am looking for a set of quarter bumpers in good nick for my project also 2/4 cibie oscars thanks Barry
mk2 mike Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Welcome mate. Lovely car! I was a regular at palace too (lived in S.London) in the early 90s with my matte black mk2 escort. 91-96ish I'd say. When you you there? 1
RossMK2 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Hi mate and welcome You are literally a stones from me..... Haven't seen it round yet so will keep an eye out, you might off seen mine around??? We have a few OSF events with one being the Midlands to Wales which I will be sorting a date for very soon (so keep a look out on the shows and events room) It starts at Telford services where most of the people this side of the border meet normally about 15ish cars (sometimes more). We then head into wales and up to the horseshoe pass where we meet up with the wales lot, after a short break we head off again (last year we had 45 cars at this point) and go one a tour of the fantastic roads of North Wales with some picturesque stop offs. <--(big word ). we then have a final meet and chat before head home late afternoon. Any questions drop me a message as I said date will be out SOON!!!!Taster video from last Year Hope to spot you around soon....... 1
