allways thought a saloon 2 doored (with stretched doors) would look good in a nascar style, caged,striped,window nets,metal dash full of gauges, black banded steels with white lettered tyres,etc!

theres more to life than mpg & to much power is just enough.

Cossie version is a brilliant car, 140mph, LSD and better on juice than the 12v version.

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

My old one:        Great white whale. Lovely. Comfortable, refined, even moderately frugal. I commuted to Peterborough in it for a while, used to average 28mpg. Plenty of toys too - electric heated seats, air-con, cruise, heated front screen, ABS, electric sunroof, electric windows, adjustable bolsters, electric rear seats, trip computer, etc.... |

The one with skrilla on the plate is a mercur, I believe a us nada. Love nadas me,that's why I set up WWW.fordgranadaclub.freefo.deMk3's are getting too rare and there are some damn fine examples around.I know of a skyline twin turbod cossie one being built at the moment. These cars have been ignored by the classic car guys and also the retro guys too,go out and buy one! Rwd armchairs, with all the leccie toys too. pcd is merc but off set means they aren't ideal swaps.tried merc wheels on a mk2 and it got all ugly . |

Got the car from 105 bhp at the crank to 152 at the wheels.nitrous going on next.....if it ain't broke,keep bolting on go faster parts until it is........ www.fordgranadaclubuk.freefo.de |

I am hopefully going to join this happy band, having agreed in principle to buy a one-owner, full test, FSH 4-door Scorpio 2.0.
Won't be sorting it until next Tuesday, so don't want to tempt fate by posting pics and proclaiming it's mine, just in case disaster befalls me!

Had a 2ltr Scorpio 'loon a few years ago. Really was a lovely car. Proper comfy with all the toys, and a boot big enough for an eastern european family to live in. Just a shame it fried its own brain one morning when I went to start it  |

Won't be sorting it until next Tuesday, so don't want to tempt fate by posting pics and proclaiming it's mine, just in case disaster befalls me! They are lovely cars, ive had quite a few now Little bit of buying advice, look for rust/rot in the sills, rear arches and across the front of the bonnet, give the rear jacking point a good wiggle to give you an indication of the strength of the sill, if its good it wont move, if not it'll come off in your hand! Look for head gasket probs on the 2.0 dohc, make sure the auto box is smooth and check for leaks. Finally 92> cars can have electrical problems caused by rotten fuse boxes due to water ingress but can be reconditioned at home. Sounds drastic but they are really nice motors, very comfortable and spacious, finally good luck with the veiwing and get a thread up if you buy |
