My next door neighbour has got a H reg Sierra estate. It is used everyday but mainly for local trips. Bodywork looks reasonable considering he rarely cleans it. ;)

I saw a white D-reg RS500 yesterday. It looked well tidy. The whale tale was awesome!

Pretty sure it was genuine as well as the windows looked right.

I thought 'sweet' and the mrs thought 'yuk'.  ;D

Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!

Shockingly, a lot of early Rover x14's about...

Have noticed a lot of late 190E Mercs (J/K/L) around for some reason. but generally speaking there's still a lot of pre-cat (H/J/K) cars about, then a gap till P/R reg's. Must be those early cat'd ones with £400 MoT bills..

zillions of ancient square 200 rovers & mercs still doing the rounds. Early 1.4 k-series isn't anywhere near as prone to HGF as the later cars (which seem to be evaporating?!) and they are pretty rust proof, the mercs were just built like sodding tanks!

still see the odd beetle, morris minor & MGB

I saw a young guy in a black primered manta the other day and I've been thinking- why do I never see any a classic vauxhalls/opels? No enthusiast following? :(  I see loads of old vauxhalls up to about L-reg but NOTHING older?


Found this thread searching for a omega fix in case you're wondering why I dug it up! ;)


Oh and in answer to the thread- I believe they do sierra banger racing days which is why they're all gone!

Many cars seem to be dissapering.

Calibras
Cavaliers
Sierras, even the early Mondeos
All Rovers...
Strangely, many old cars are still around.
VWs
BMWs
Audis.
All of the above due to galvanised bodies.

Diesel PUGs. Due to a million mile durability. I still don't understand why they aren't an oily engine surrounded by a plie of rust.

The only old fFords that are worth the TLC it takes are the good ones.
Here's one or two...


(Posted this one before, but I couldn't resist it again  :)


Brilliant Bandit!! :y :y :y

That Lotus Mk1 Cortina is the one I want in my garage, along with a Cortina Mk2 1600E!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :D ;)

Please may I win the lottery!! 8-) 8-) ;)

Judging by the number of early Mondeos I see going around with taped up bumpers, I reckon many will be gone from the road soon! ::) ;)


As for the Sierra, I believe the jelly has now finally disintegrated, and good riddance ::) ::) ;)

Ex g/f had a sapphire --- but haven't seen her or it for a few years now  ---- the way she drove it's likely to be written off by now !!!!

Getting all wistful now .. she had the six pack stomach I have never managed to achieve (Never will now either !)  !!!!

The bloke who owned the Beetle was showing a prospective buyer what a good little runner it was when it went up,he initially seemed to think that he wasnt rsponsible for what happened to my Sierra.We had a little "chat" and he came round to my way of thinking. kerching!  :)
