Cortina’s to Cortina

@Shite Ron at my rate of working it’ll take me 6 years to finish mine! 
Joking aside, I’d most definitely be interested in convoying with your mk1 when you do it. This trip with the Cortina’s looks brilliant fun. 
Anyone fancy being my co-driver!?😅

Thanks @Shite Ron that’s very kind and food for thought!

Our last full day in Cortina so we took a few pictures. The first from our hotel.

The ski jump James Bond came down in 1981!

 

Then we went for a drive up a very high mountain.

There are plenty of Panda’s here and still a few mk1’s about. Three in this picture:

And another nearby

Plus lots of expensive modern cars:

We also had a walk to the top of the toboggan run which has been made narrower since 1962 as there would be no chance of driving a mk1 Cortina down there now! It looks like it has been unused since 2010, but will be refurbished for the 2026 Olympics.

@danthecapriman I saw Scott again last night and again this morning, he took his Capri to Capri in 2019 for the 50th anniversary of the Capri and was the 4 th Capri to go on the island so I had it wrong. The next will be the 5th!

I suggested to him we go in 2029 for the 60th anniversary and he seemed interested. If you came we could have a mk1, 2 and 3 which would be fantastic.

Great stuff @Shite Ron Cortina looks a lovely place.

Most definitely interested for the Capri trip! One of each mk would be a brilliant way to do it too.
