Went to forge Motorsport in Gloucester this morning for their brunch meet, with a load of cars from Hereford. 

Good turn out of cars but quite a lot of BMW 1 series an Hyundai i30n's, but in amongst them with some right peaches.... This escort was simply stunning, and the Volvo Amazon was also amazing I think 

 

 

Can't believe the mk1 still has a 1100 engine fitted like its V5 says LOL! And the Amazon - turbo exhaust through the bonnet - bonkers Swede LOL!

I could've stood and looked at them all day

Ended up getting a run home on a lorry. Car died out as fuel pump stopped working. A bit of investigation and I found the metal remains of 2 of my fuses in the main fuse box. The plastic surrounding the fuses had melted leaving the metal fully intact. Bit worrying, so car was dropped off outside an auto electrician yesterday evening. I'll get speaking to him first thing today as got a big run starting on Thursday that I need to be ready for!

I had a tootle down to Eastboune harbour today, in my Mk1 Cortina.

2 other mk1 cortina’s, a few mustangs, a mk1 escort bubble arch parked next to me.

There was about 3 times that amount , but I only took 2 pictures 🙄

Went to a show in Warlingham on Sunday, loads of stuff there, disappointed I didn't get more pics of the stand I was on as there were some pukka OSF's

But here's some anyway.

Popped out last night to a local meet, why not hey!

The MK1 Tina was lovely, so was the bubble arch Twink, very clean all over

Put my battery on charge and re-fitted my mirror and door panel last night. Sunny here today, so will drive it out of garage and clean it tonight.  Mondeo ST also got a wash and wax.

Fords breakfast meet this Sunday, so weather depending, I will be taking the Escort or Mondeo ST. Either way I get a bacon and burger roll and a brew

Decided to head out for a spin. Dry and hot with no sign of rain.

Lucky bugger, I've been working all day watching people enjoy a lazy Sunday. I'm so jealous 😂

Looking good!

Thanks for the comments guys! I have the car booked into the body shop for the winter. Going back to bare metal for some minor rust treatment (he says before seeing what's under the paint). Windows removed and hopefully new seals fitted all round. Doing the engine bay as well so good few months work ahead. Then I should have a really clean orange Mk1 escort. Don't forget, it's only a pretend Mexico, not a real one!

Pub built by your exported criminal element in 1836.

If its important to 'us' ie. a pub, it gets built well - lets see if the Opera House will still be around in another 150 odd years 😁

I have noticed that oldest buildings and best built ones we have are usually pubs built in early colonial times.

That one you see pictured was under water 4 weeks ago and I took that photo only today. The huge mounds of river silt are just out of frame to the left you can just see the start of it.

These days we appear to have progressed to importing them!

Do they build great historic sandstone buildings and bridges as well?
