No I think there are around four of us located in Spain. And some dreamers who want to move here and think that living in Spain is going to be like the UK only with the sun.

Oh, I thought everyone here would be from the UK. 😁

[High Jetter]

Totally in a good way    @Display Name you will find I am the CF-licker in residence here, although it's over 40 years since I had one; Your van probably wasn't even built then!  Now I feel old...

That depends!  It looks to me like the Slant 4, which is exactly what it should have!

Welcome aboard

@SiC, is something you can help with, or send in the right direction?

Done. 

Usually one of the mods goes through the list every few days or so and ticks approve on members. Quite a few spam accounts end up signing up, so can take a bit of sifting and due diligence needed to make sure we don't end up with spammers.

Hi, I’m a lifelong car enthusiast with a particular soft spot for Fords. I passed my driving test at 18 and, like many of us from that era, my first car was a Mini — a black bad boy 1984 Austin Mini Mayfair with 6x10 Minilites and a chequered roof. (only had a 1L engine, but looked the part)

Since then, I’ve owned everything from a Fiesta XR2i to a Nissan Micra, a Metro with knackered suspension, and several Fords — including a Ka Collection, a C-Max, two Kuga's (the current one being a fully-loaded ex-Ford manager’s ST-Line in Stealth Grey), and currently a Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost, which I use as my daily (and yes, the wet belt's still holding!).

Now that I’ve hit 50, I’m want to have a go at restoration. With a budget of under £500, I picked up this red Ford StreetKa as a little passion project (my mid life crisis as the wife states) — with lacquer peel, typical rust under arches but not too bad, and all. I wanted something to learn welding and painting on, this fits the bill. Ideally, I’d have loved another Mini, but I reckon this StreetKa has real future classic potential.

[High Jetter]

Welcome. No garage so a driveway restoration? Perfect!

Hello all, I've lurked around without an account for a while and thought that I'd better make an account to contribute a bit.

I generally potter about in a MkIII Fiesta. I also recently ish acquired the only LDV Pilot I could find that wasn't a camper van and didn't have any large holes in it. I'll post a few pictures of my rapidly disintegrating chariots when I get a chance to upload the photos to my computer.

I must admit I don't really have much mechanical knowledge, so I'll probably end up cap in hand asking for advice on fixing the LDV when it inevitably explodes.

In the meantime I'll probably mostly post in the eBay tat thread to satiate my addiction to looking at things I can't afford on the internet.
