The Ford Appreciation Thread

[Scrooge]

Even the £300 shitters?

 

[Budgie]

Actually laughed out loud.

 

[Scrooge]

eBay had the perfect leMans car last night. £400 Granada limo!

 

[Gally]

I'd want a Scorpio!

 

[Scrooge]

Frog mouth?

 

[Gally]

One of the ugliest cars ever made and probably the highest spec Ford ever!

Just want to represent...

How much stuff could I fit in a Probe?

[Scrooge]

I took one of them out for a spin last year, so tail end happy but controllable!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

proper barge! wouldnt mind a f150 ! thr older ones with the same engine as the gt

 

[Stu.]

Would love an old ford! Cosworth is my fav!

Kelv - Your mallard green was epic, sure I have a mag with that in it.

 

[Scutch]

Oh hello.

 

[Gally]

Love that shot, so real and genuine.

 

[Kelv]

Scutch, that's Wenny's car, an unbelievable machine.
now pushing out 680bhp with a 6 speed sequential gearbox, in a shell that really couldn't be any lighter if he tried, stupidly quick on the qtr mile!

Stu, it was in a 20 year anniversary shoot at bruntingthorpe and then a mini feature both with Fast Ford Mag.
it then had a few months on their show stand with a few random mag shots that kept popping up.
cost me a small fortune to build over the years of ownership!

John Player Capri...

Kelv - Your mallard green was epic

Pretty sure you showed me a vid of that one on track kelv? Was a proper weapon from what i saw!

That above pic is so cool

Also there was a vid of that "1.3" escort doing a sub 3sec 0-60mph somewhere.

My mk2 fiesta that I had too much money in and broke for parts, then replaced it with a ph1 172...

Good thread, it's funny, as much as petrol heads in general either love or hate Fords, there is always a model they seem to adore..

Green please.

Not fussed.

I love the Mk1 & 2 Escorts, GT40, classic Mustang and the Sierra RS500 though. And the RS200, of course.

 

[stephen chadwick]

 

[Short Norman]

now that is nice. After having a 1982 Sierra as my first car I've a real soft spot for 3-doors.

 

[DaveDreads]

I've never really been a Mk3 fan, but they're starting to grow on me.

 

[Hodgins]

Love this thread, as other have said, i never realised how much i like fords lol

[Gally]

I want one. Not because i'd drive it like they are meant to be driven but just look at it.

 

[jongsr4]

[Hixle]

[Gally]

Great little upgrade mate. The Mk7 ZS is a stunningly good car.

John Player Capri...

My bro-in-law bought a JPS Capri years ago and didn't realise at the time what it was and sold it for scrap. About £25 back then. :/

 

[Gally]

Wow. That's a stone kicker!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Drove a proper build (as opposed to the prototypes I've been in for the last 3 years) version of this today .. I absolutely LOVE it !

New Transit Custom Sport van.

[DaveDreads]

Today i've given serious consideration to turning my Impreza Wagon fund into a classic Ford fund,
£4k for a nice Blobeye SL with mods, vs.....a running Mk2 Cortina with minimal rust that needs a bit of work for under £2.5k.

The dog kennel's in perfect working order atm with new belts and loads of other stuff,
so it will more than likely run for a few years with nothing more than regular oil changes.

The question is do I want a Cortina more than I want an Impreza?

Damn you Gally!!!
