xtriple Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 My tiny son (28 and a fat jabber!) came down for Boxing day and today. He bought me awesome presents, which surprised me, and we stayed up until nearly 4 a.m this morning gassing. It was utterly brilliant. It's so good to see him as it doesn't happen very often anymore and it has made my Christmas. He has just gone now so I am sad fordperv, Slappy, purplebargeken and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig the Princess Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Christ, I don't mind chucking £5 at a roffle where someone could just piss of with the money but £400 a ticket (for the BMW M3)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Looking at that thread, it makes me realise why I love this place so much! £400 for a ticket?

Lord Sterling Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Rover makes me smile (for now) Whilst on the way back home I left a Diesel Zafira in my dust as his car shot out a load of black soot trying to keep up with me. Then, I had a friendly traffic light shoot with an MG ZR, the lads liked my car and asked me if was the 2.0 T-series, they even found my car on Flickr when someone took a photo of it parked in Birmingham City Centre some years back, their car had the 1.4 K-series but was very quick and a nice looker too.

Needing a "gold" membership just to advertise it and how naughty it is to do a raffle. I think that is one of the reasons I only bother with this site as on here everyone is sort of normal and not up their own arse dictating how the site should be run. Maybe we should copyright the roffle idea so these other muppets can't jump on the hugely sucessful bandwagon. outlaw118, Lord Sterling, forddeliveryboy and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Since I'm going to euro car parts in the morning for a backbox for the meriva, I had a look at service bits for the ZX, and just reserved this: It deserves some love, it hasn't been serviced for nearly 9k, and it seems I'm paying less for oil and filter than the oil costs! (no cheaper oil listed, I don't mind though, I put shell helix in on the last service, still got a litre left of that too. Fuck it, it's christmas (and the flange gets paid on the 8th). Hopefully a light service will help it pass the MOT that I really must book in before the 15th Jan. Did look for a cylindrical air filter too but they are out of stock, will look on ebay for one of those Banger Kenny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Someone who has matching monster stickers, wing mirrors and ratchet straps isn't going to cramp his style by doing something like putting a 3 wheeler on the back of his truck. or sleeping with a girl who has all of her original teeth, or letting a girl with all her teeth emerge from a brief relationship with all of them remaining. michael1703, Jon, robinmasters and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 A very productive hour today First off Shiney. I give it 3 years... Then over to the zx And new oil and filter fitted.

fordperv Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I was out and about earlier and saw a lovely original lookin orion ghia, what made me grin more was that it was a local registered car with its king ford dealer sticker and plates still present, to top it off it was on King Street which king ford used to be on before it closed, When I noticed the details I sung the old radio jingle Craig the Princess, dave21478 and beko1987 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordperv Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I got all nostalgic when I saw it, i had a black h plate the first of this shape which had the 1.6 cvh efi engine, mine had a spoiler though, the same wheels but was slightly lowered, i also put a fast road high lift cam in to get a bit more oomph out of it, i used to polish the life out of it and drive it with my dad on L plates I loved every minute but i stupidly sold it dave21478 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendry Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Orions are cool as now! Before I used to just think they were crap old Fords, I used to love Fords when I was a boy growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, back then it seemed everyone owned a Ford of some kind except my dad who had a turd brown Maestro City, imagine then my delight when I got picked up from staying at my grans one weekend in September '94 in a 3.5 year old 91 H plate Orion 1.6 LX in Matisse blue my dad had just paid 6 large for out the local Ford franchise with such "luxuries" as central locking, metallic paint, a factory alarm, factory fitted tilt and slide glass sunroof, and possibly even power steering. I thought this thing was so cool but ultimately it killed my love for Fords because of how unreliable it was. Thankfully it got stolen and burnt out! I'm only now starting to appreciate how retro cool they are now. dave21478 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 There is just something RIGHT about the shape of an Orion. I love them.I had two as a teenager, both the mkIV escort style....A gold with beige interior 1.4GL which got crashed very spectacularly then a blue with blue interior 1.6GL which got XR3i alloys, spoiler and a huge ICE install.

steve_earwig Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 There is just something RIGHT about the shape of an Orion. I love them. I always thought they screwed the proportions up on that one, I don't know which generation they were but I saw them first in Canada and I thought they'd got some weird fat boy version for some reason. Then they started selling them in the UK. When I was a kid all my mates had Fords, while my dad had all these weird French motors. I asked him why and he said he didn't want any "overpriced wobbleboxes". Eventually he got a Mk4 Cortina, almost new it was in some metallic yellow. Soon after I was out shopping with me ma, we got back to the Cortina, unlocked it and... oh, this ain't our stuff. No, our one was parked behind it. It soon went and I've never been a fan. Although there wasn't one of my mate's Fords I couldn't get into in a second or two with my Avenger ignition key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
