Cool

Yeah! thats the one, with a van body,
I do remember my dad stripping the paint
off with nitromorse, and it was 15 coats thick!!!
and every one was a different colour, its original
colour was light blue, we had some great fun in it,
3 hours Leeds to Scarborough, then back, did'nt
stay there long tho.

My dad had a cortina but i can't remember if it was a MK2 or 3, it was sky blue with a rear lift & wider wheels.

It always reminded me of the starsky & hutch motor but in blue.

Loved that car.

Brown Ford Corsair was the earliest memory, followed by a mk4 cortina. My mum had 2 Triumph 2000 tc's and a Dolomite. (2 of them written off by other people)

My sisters 1st car was a very old mini with the string door pulls / sliding windows and the starter button. My brothers 1st (and only) car was a mk 2 capri 3.0 ghia. He bought it to learn in and never bothered to pass his test. He's 45 now and still can't drive ! When he sold the car it was wrapped around a lamp post a month later..

1st car I bought was a 1971 landrover series 2a LWB. Got me started in mechanics - had a cracked head 1/2 an exhaust and bald tyres when I bought it.

[NiftyNev]

Morris 1100. I remember my dad getting it up on two wheels at about a 45 deg angle one night when he took a sharp bend in the road he'd forgotten about. He used to ride a Honda Nifty Fifty ( I think it was called) before that.

My dad had a honda 50, till someone wiped him out on it, he broke his shoulder.
He got insurance money for it and bought a triumph bonneville.

[Long way 'round]

My parents had a Ford Ranchero like this one but in sky blue and white with a 351 cu in v8, had to sell it when my brother came along only three seats. They both loved it.
