Now I know most of you will have never seen one of these, but when I was a kid these were everywhere in the early 80s. The government used to lease them to invalids as part of their benefits, however it's been illegal to drive them on UK roads since 2003, due to the fact you'd definitely die if...

I don't think the op means what cars have you owned, he means what cars/bikes do you own as well as your Clio.

The only other thing with wheels I own is this.

Surely he's missed a 1 off the front of that number, because that's one hell of a car for £7k(ish), i'm guessing that offers over £7k means he's hoping for a hell of a lot more? http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/ford/escort/cosworth-powered-mk1-1968/907935

I read the thread as small addiction, expected to see pics of you shooting up.

It isn't, buy the K-Tec/Piper-X one, i've used both and the K-Tec one is better.

I was hoping for a classic Ford when I clicked on this. :dapprove: Instead I see Ryland's wet dream.

Euro Car Parts sell Powerflex bushes.

Key fob battery? ...and it's immobiliser you f*cking illiterate caveman. lol

Ghosts!!! :eek: If your car was a horse we'd have shot it by now.

This isn't about my car, it's DCI Raz's car that's gone wrong and he's out there somewhere with a car that's playing up, so he's asked me to ask you lot. It's randomly cutting out completely without warning lights or anything, turn ignition off and it'll restart, it gets worse with aircon on...

I did read it, well....scanned it. :o

Holy sh*t £100k?!!! Part of UK history though so it's to be expected I guess, that's one hell of a getaway car. I bet whoever they nicked that off was gutted.

A Mk1 LC is a dream car of mine, £25k-£35k though and that's the entry level price. lol

I've been looking at them all day, i've decided that a Mk2 is going to be my future project car, as they're one of the cheapest classics out there. Tax exempt and a bit of classic car insurance research had told me that a fresh policy with zero no claims, would be in the £250-£450 range, so it...

The more I look the more I find, the more I want, if only I had the money right now i'd be starting a project thread. http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/ford-cortina-mk2/1003769776 £1550, NI as well so i'm guessing that means you'd just need to go and get it rather than importing it?

It took two attempts to get my linkage sorted recently, 1st had got increasingly harder to select over the past year, so a mechanic mate of mine adjusted it for me, the next dy when I tried to reverse off my drive it went into 1st every time. I went back to my mates garage and he re-adjusted it...

A Cosworth powered Cortina sounds like a right laugh!! lol

How long left on the auction, does it come with ancillaries and a gearbox?

I want one.

That would be mental in an old Sierra, what's the engine up to atm? I should have named this thread 'I quite like old Fords these days', as loads of them are cool.

It won't be a sleeper with a yank V8 in it, the noise will give it away, lol so I might as well put it something with some style.

I did plan on buying an old Mini and restoring/rebuilding it, but even rotten shells are going for a grand these days which is just mental. Instead of buying a knackered old Mini, spending 3 times what it's worth getting nice, I might just save up and get a sub £4k Cortina, or an old Capri and...

There's no getting away from it, I simply just want one. Difficult to find a good cheap one though, by cheap I mean under £5k. This would do me nicely, £3,850...

^^^Holy sh*t!!! :evil: They're just so f*cking cool!!!! This one's not too bad either, POA though, so i'm guessing it's expensive. http://www.ycsc.co.uk/mk2 cortina savage.html

There were a few of them with custom V8s at the drag day I went to the other week, cool as f*ck. An old mate of mine had a black Mk3 with the mother of all sound systems in it, at the time he worked for a company that fitted custom car systems. It was like being driven round in a Laz-e-boy arm...

Now i'm normally a Mk1/2 Cortina fan, but I wouldn't say no to a Mk3 either, looks like it might be a laugh...

FLOL, I was in disguise with a baseball cap on. ;) Although to be fair a happy face in Cov is a rare thing, it probably confused him.

I was at the Sainsbury's roundabout in Courthouse Green, you were heading in the other direction towards Sainsbury's. I was in an Iceburg 172 and gave you the thumbs up, you stared at me like i'd pissed on your kids.

'I can't get in that, i've got asthma'.
