	Hello all, Just thought I would introduce myself. This looks like a good place to share/gather info on the type of stuff I'm into. In my garage at the moment I have a Escort Mk2 RS2000, and a Mk1 Focus RS and a Mk1 Cortina. Do these qualify me as Retro enthusiast?

	No, goodbye. Haha, only joking. Pull up a chair and grab yourself a cup o' tea. Do you have any pictures of your fleet?

	Hello, we do need photos... but when @quatermass starts asking for very specific shots that’s when you need to worry He’s a foot fetishist, so don’t be taking photos of your cars in crocs however nicely he asks you

	Thanks for the welcome everyone. Favourite has to be the Cortina Mk1. I've owned it for 24 years now. I'll see if I can post a pic now.

	… The Focus RS is the latest addition. I've had it a couple of years now. Bought it in good condition and done nothing with it...yet! The RS2000 has been with me for 15 years. 9 of which I spent completely restoring it. I'm pleased to say I bought it way before prices went crazy - I could never afford to buy one today. The Cortina is my long, long term project. Here it is with the RS2000 in the workshop. I think it was oil change time for the RS. The Cortina has been with me the longest - 24 years! In all that time its never been finished. I chopped it up in the 90s (when these things were worth nothing) and fitted a Rover V8, then a TVR 5.0 V8, and finally now I'm installing a 2.5 Duratec with turbo and quad throttle bodies. Over the years I've owned some other stuff that's all gone to other owners now; Golf Mk1, Escort Mk2 Sport, Capri V8, Manta A, Jag XJS, Jag XKR, Porsche 944, Porsche 924, Lotus Esprit, Mustang, Merc AMG.
