mk2_escort_chick Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 My dad was talking to me today about his old mk2 cortina! He loved it! He said he had it broken into and they took his cb radio etc. He also owned a mk4 cortina. Go on my osf dad!!! He also remembers the primer and red oxide look. hehe But what other things were "cool"...dean said he can remember going to the original thurrock cruise with his bro in his bro's old mk2 escy. His bro had a cb radio and at the time neons had just hit the scene. What things were "cool" to have in/on your osf back in the day?

Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 Just thought of another, but it was very very dangerous and was promptly banned. What some used to do was turn their wheels around so they looked wider, and then go for a drive There were accidents. What about bubble/moon windows?????? Class
