While at the Rally Yorkshire the other weekend , I came across this Fiesta with a boot . Didn’t know they even existed , it was LHD and being used as a recce car , I think by an Irish crew .

Windy37 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I actually thought it was a some kind of smaller Mondeo from the front . Not keen though , I must admit . Gary . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 A Dolomite today. Yellow with the obligatory black vinyl roof. And wedding tapes. Later, South of Lincoln, a large American convertible in red. Maybe 61/62. Top down, yet the driver was wearing a mask! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Driving home from work past the Kings School in Grantham a DeLorean waiting to turn left, I had to double take but unfortunately no Marty on board. Followed me for a couple hundred yards, spent more time looking in my mirrors than out through the wind screen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Over the last couple of weeks, I've racked up some interesting spots, getting better at actually registering them now, must be something influencing me. Coming out of Bunnings, one of the local Daddy day cares the other weekend, a couple of Cobra alikes, looking & SOUNDING fabulous. Then on a garage forecourt I was driving past something that googling confirmed as a 2005 Ford T-bird hard top, not seen that about before. A couple of photos ops produced this early 70s Cortina 2000E, someone's pride & joy, a bit tarted up for my tastes. & the lovely little 1981 Escort Sport that lurks about here & teases the heck out of me, 1st reported in the previous thread, finally caught it so I could snap it. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Whatever you think of Charles you can't fault his car. In the newspaper because he's converted it to run on cheese and wine. Like a lot of us.😀 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a cracking pair there Steve, the Escort in particular but would be happy with either in my garage. The Ford Thunderbird looks a bit unusual.

Alan R Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 My Dad had a Cortina 2000E in the mid seventies. It actually was a nice drive. Nothing special in the handling department, but a nice drive all the same. His was pale blue. Ah, memories ... Cheers, Alan. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malpaso Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Four Fergies and a Fordson outside the pub (far left - Country Pub 2021) at lunchtime yesterday. The LR90 was just along for the ride - literally. It was being towed on an A-frame by that TE20 to act as an accommodation trailer for the rest of their family!

Phew luckily no one has picked me up on my appalling Landie recognition as it’s an S- reg SIII with later screen and roof and some dodgy aftermarket arches! 😎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
