[Tom_Maverick]

Tom Maverick is my new hero! Love the V8 Sierra and the Granada is brilliant!

I can't tell you how much I adore Manta B' coupe's too. I've built a few nice ones with my mate , the last one of which was C20LET powered and had just over 300bhp.

Bits are getting scarce for Manta's now though so I imagine owning one would be a pain in the tits , they were bad enough for ma mate to get bits for back then.

Look forward to seeing some of this yank stuff too as I have a soft spot for yank metal despite it's awful handling. lol

everyone loves a juicy yank! I'll try and scan them in later.. (yup, real photo's.. old skoolin'!) I used to pick up Manta's for bugger all and weigh them in when the rails went.. these days a crap shell is making four figures! it's obscene!

1990 Sierra saphire 2000E

in Azura blue ? Grey leatherz and "wood" cappings

you Executive !

[Barx325i]

I can't get over the fact that someone after owning a ford would ever contemplate a second..

I wonder how many ford orions there are on the roads these days

[Dezzy]

I see a really ruff light beige Mk2 orion almost daily!

Its the only one i've seen in years mind!

If you can't afford a ford, you can't afford a car

[E30BeemerLad]

1988 Nissan bluebird 1.6 LX

Doing a spot of minicab work?

[Dezzy]

Droop Snoot Firenza over any ford scrap for me!

Personal choice innit

[Barx325i]

nova 1.3 SR or a 1.3 pushrod fiesta

no thanks henry

bluebirds were so much better than any ford. I wouldn't entertain any era of mondeo down the col de turini, however me & my mate decided after the 3rd run in the SPI bluebird, it was time to hit monaco EPIC

[bss325i]

Sierra/Cavlier

Capri/Manta

Granada/Carlton

There is no contest!

[bss325i]

bluebirds were so much better than any ford.

You been smoking some serious shit!

1988 Nissan bluebird 1.6 LX

Doing a spot of minicab work?

Haha! I did wonder if someone would notice the solitary non BMW/Ford in that line up!

I payed £50 for it so i could get to work while i built the RST cabrio.

It lasted two weeks and the gearbox blew! Good spec though!

[snuffy112]

[Barx325i]

bluebirds were so much better than any ford.

bluebird 250k miles no issue whereas any ford that made it to 100k miles needed replacing - which would probably explain why you had so many Barry

[pacerpete]

2004- audi a4 avant sport

a friends dad had a Poobird LX saloon (with the executive bodykit no less!) with 350,000 miles on it! I had one years ago, awesome cars.. shame they were FWD...

need to add a wide starion turbo, mitzy sapporo, toyota crown and a nissa cedric to my list of shame if we're dredging out the riceburners..
