Collection - Live! - Hopefully? - Possibly?!?

[Alfamale]

Morning all.

 

As mentioned in the news 24 thread I have agreed to look at a car in the eBay thread. Saying that I only have a one way train ticket and have most definitely bought this car in my head.

 

The alarm has gone off and I''m currently laying in bed with plenty of time before we need to set off for the station.

 

As for the cars identity all I'm going to say is that is not the usual Italia-.shite I normally fawn over.

 

More later...

[dollywobbler]

Good stuff. Nowt like pretending that you're not going to buy a car.

[Alfamale]

And we're off! AlfaFemale taking me to the station in her 'baby'

[Alfamale]

Sorry for picture orientation calamity.

 

Now here waiting for the first of 2 iron horses.

[Alfamale]

FFS anyone know how you make iPhone pictures show the right way round?

[Pillock]

You provably need to upgrade your phone or something.

 

So, not an Alfa. Ford?

[Alfamale]

Hole in one! Heading north from Chesterfield...

[brickwall]

Looks like a good day, which is nice.

FFS anyone know how you make iPhone pictures show the right way round?

 

Blurred/out of focus or upside down pictures are somewhat expected around here ... as well as gurning selfies*

[Pillock]

Wow, I'm on form today. Is it a bronze Mk3 Escort Ghia?

[Alfamale]

Not an escrote. Has those letters that drive the fanbois wild! On second train. Paid £3 extra for 1st class. Very posh and free sandwiches!

Bit more about the car to keep you going. It's a 1994 model, and the remaining mot can be measured with an egg timer...

[Alfamale]

Money has changed hands. Behold the fiesta rs1800!

[nacho man]

Ace, now hurry up and get home so you can post some more pics up.

[greengartside]

That is lovely! I had a smashed-up RS1800 that I robbed the engine to use in my 1.1 mk3 Fiesta. R.I.P N426 CTM.

[EssDeeWon]

Nice! Those XR2/RS front bumpers were the best thing to come out of 1990.

[Alfamale]

Cavcraft won it early on!
