Maestro/ Montego..pass
Ford Orion First car when I was 17 orion 1.6i ghia my father got mega stung for the insurance but I had the fastest car amongst the lads just after we left school . Lads still compliment me now on it down the pub...gav remember when you had the Ghia...(happy days!) will post pic up tomorow (will scan it in at work)
Sierra Cosworth...see one every day parked up on my mates council estate. Burgundy. sweet. Never seems to get pinched..must belong to a local dealer/gangster
Ford Capri... my mothers partner/second husband, whatever the name is for them these days, has an immaculate Capri Brooklands in the garage. iconic and sounds great when we fire her up. bring back 4 star. never see's the wet. 100% original, no shite mods whatsoever. lovely car. waxoiled the lot.
Vauxhall Carlton...pass
XR2...funnily enough i saw one tonight at Tindale crescent as i was heading out over the dales for a blast, but it was the mk3 version, I'm thinking your after the mk2?
and many more.......

Maestro/ Montego .... on 'police camera action' last night
Ford Orion .... can't remember
Sierra Cosworth ..... on 'pedal to the metal' (tribute to Colin McRae) sunday afternoon
Ford Capri ..... one lives next street, noisey 2.8, hear it start every morning. I once built a very fast one for a mate..... it took me about a year and £3000 + in mods (mainly engine). built engine to race standard... was awesome. I even painted it for him.... white with blue/blue/grey met tiger stripes. could hear it a mile away... had to idle at 1200rpm.... awesome.
Vauxhall Carlton ?????? are u serious?
XR2 can't remember.
hey, we got Lambo Gillardo in at work... repairs and paint to front bumper |

As all technicians know repairs like that need at least a 20 mile roadtest afterwards.
