'HORSE TOTTY' @ Wing Cdr Nutsacks so-called Pony Club

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I flippin love the look of that above 4-dr Pony, it just looks 'right' to me from all angles. I could look at it all day, in fact I might tomorrow

 

Here are some of the things I like about it:

 

• the very sharp horizontal line at the rearmost edge of the bootlid
• the angle of the bootlid and rear glass
• the 'filed-off corner' where the rear wings meet the bootlid/rear window with those two little vents in
• the quite long rear overhang
• the neat step that goes all along the car incorporating the wheelarches
• the very slight 'reverse rake' of the headlights & front panel
• the hyundai panel between the rear lights

 

Basically I love it. I know from bombing about in the C-reg that these are a hoot to drive, OK theyre out of steam by 65mph but theyre dead willing and light and fun to thrash about in. I can't believe I have actually got a proper Mk1 Pony!!!

Its a full on PONY LOVE-IN in this thread. Tomoz am I will get some footage of mine.

[trigger]

I'm loving this new found mojo boost from Mr B!

[greengartside]

Fucking hell! I don't think I've seen one of these since 1990!

 

That is shite on a barge pole. Heroic effort doesn't cover it. 137/10.

You'll need to get yourself one of these for car shows once you've fixed it up.

Here are a few comments fielded by my office companions today:

• Is it Pony O'clock yet
• Its 'pony night' tonight round your house
• Sorry love I can't come out tonight as I am washing my pony
• You need to pony up and get on with some flipping work
• etc

Rocking Horse prosthesis??

The new string-back glove...?

 

Top class equine acquisition Sir.

Are you joining the club?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pony_Club

 

The highlight of The Pony Club calendar for many children is the annual Pony Club Camp, organised by the branch or centre. This allows for all members to spend additional time with their rides, often in a new setting doing a variety of activities, including cross country as well as the typical mounted games.

 

Sounds a little sinister that TBH. Might be worth starting your own club instead.

You should have told them to 'Fuck off and Hyundie'

Nice Pony.

 

 

I am already looking forward in eagerness to the K series engine swap.

Safety in numbers

Wow, there's a few Pony pick-ups in that photo above - I had no idea they did one in MK1 flavour. I could be imagining things but it looks like they share the triangular tail lights with the estate, as seen here:

 

 

Or maybe I'm making things up and they're just the same aft of the B-pillars as Ratdat's one. 

 

 

As others have said, I don't think you've paid too much for this, bearing in mind your long term lust for one. I did the same with my Visa GTi, paying over the odds, certainly in the condition it's in but now I have one, so the money's been spent. You'll forget how much it cost once the bank balance is replenished. Plus, with it being a 2 door RWD car with so much Ford influence in the mechanics, you wouldn't loose too much on resale as a worst case scenario. Any idea if the Joncedric 4 door still survives?

[sloth]

It looks proper like a Marina coupe doesnt it. The proportions are identical with the heavy arse end and the strangely short front doors.

 

I think the 4-dr Mk1 Pony looks better TBH but thats like saying Rachel Riley is better looking than Kristen Scott Thomas, whats the flipping point in worrying about that?

have a read, george turnbull was at bl, got made redundant and tok 2 marinas with him to his new job at hyundai. the rests history...

That Giorgetto Giugiaro certainly knows his onions...

[Mr_Bo11ox]

 

'ave a bit of that

[Alexg]

Blimey, upon seeing that out the window I fully expect your landlady to drop all clothes and throw herself towards you

[Mr_Bo11ox]

My landlady is a prison nurse, she's a robustly-framed lady and she prefers girls to boys so I flipping hope that doesn't happen

[cms206]

Oooh, Pony... *scrolls down*

 

[cort16]

The pony could turn any women

[cms206]

Probably not my missus. That said she grudgingly admitted to liking the manky 340 (which she has named Patrick) so stay the fuck away from my mrs, Le Testicle!

 

Thank fuck she doesn't like Reliants.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

[scruff]

Much better than a Marina, you would cut a dash anywhere in that, particularly a Goodwood "Breakfast Klub" gathering where I fancy the Pony would hold it's own against other exotica...!!

I am so loving this Pony. Looks like Magenta Red as well, same as my Shuma. Can't wait to see more and it on the road.

Drake Hall...? 

[warren t claim]

That's so What Car? 1981. My first experience of Pony joy was When my English teacher, Mr Bad Breath Cookie bought one new to replace his '77 Mazda 323.

[philibusmo]

I am so pleased thati posted this point in the eBay tat thread and set off this wonderful chain of events. This is officially in the top three most horrible cars on Autoshite, along with SambaS' Alpine of misery and my Princess.

 

This may just top them both though.
