KETTERING STI Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Lol lee...Did you get your dentures caught in the door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendo Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 It was orange as well. A pillar was rotten, used to have to lift the door a bit from outside when I closed it. Then one day it fell off! I had a brown nail of a doily sprint once. Battered to fook it was. Anyway, went Yarmouth in it with the lads when I was 18. Got stuck behind a right old codger for miles on the A47 doing about 35 round the twistys for miles, I remember he was in a red Vauxhall Chevette. We came up to a roundabout and he's sat there for ages not going when he should so I pushed him out with the front of my car, the look on his face was priceless!

DEEDEE Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 1977 Ford Cortina 1.6 auto, would never start at 5am so walked to work everyday. Started first time when I got home. Rust I think Ford invented it. Nice looking car though, worst looking was my Beetle but by far the best car I had, no stopping it. Thirstist Car was the Scoob but best driving car, Most economical my Skoda YES its a SKODA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
