Never thought I would see it:
Anyone watch For The Love Of Cars on channel 4 tonight?? :?:

30 years ago to celebrate earning decent money after finishing my apprenticeship I bought my dream boy racer orange Escort Mexico and yep the one on the show was it

I put the Webasto full length sun roof in, an old ex tried mounting a MGB with it one wet night on the way back from the pub :drunken:

After getting rid of the ex!!.. Had to fit new O/S/F wing, bonnet, front panel and spotlights. :bounce:

Had it for about 3 years rebuilt the engine, back axle, updated the springs, blimey they were the days....
They didn't do a bad job, wish I'd kept it :cry:

Remember driving it everywhere like I stole it :alien:

Once a boy racer always a boy racer :lol:

Orange? Sure it wasn't a pale shade of peppermint???

Wonder if they can dig up my old RS2000, or the Savage, or the 2.8i Capri or even the First GTI Golf I had

Blimey it's like walking through my very own museum, makes you think what you had and what you should have kept :roll:

First car was a Mk1 Cortina which I wouldn't be fussed about having again.
Cars I'd like now are Fiat 850 Sport Coupe, Mk2 Granada Ghia X Estate, Alfa 75 Twin Spark Limited Edition,

Saw an 850 sport coupe the other day.
My dad had one in the 90's

I watched this in horror at the start with what he was planning to do!! but I guess that's part of the shows format..
Always loved the way the Mexico sounded on full bore- was there any other way
