Scared of a new marque?

I must say, i only really look for dattos ATM since getting the 100A. I still want a '58 DeSoto to go custom on, and would love to build a severely hardcore 5-window A 'rod. But until space and money allow my mind has gone very one-way!

Have always been into Citroens but since 1998 (three years after passing my test) there have always been other cars coming and going. Quite liking my Merc experience too though, I must confess! I don't get Fords - they just don't seem worthy of the following to me. Perhaps I'm missing something. I do like some of them - 105E Angleboxes, Mk2 Zephyr/Zodiacs and Sierras.

I've never been a one marque man, in fact I switch between styles, eras, countries...anything goes! I usually get into whatever I have, but rarely stay inside a scene when I buy the next car. I avoid Fords though, strangely.

Would never like to be a one make kinda person (no offence to those who are), but variety is the spice of life n all that.

Current makes include rover, saab, ford, vauxhall, mercedes, triumph. Love em all for different reasons.

i like to chop and change between marques, however i don't think id go back to fords becuase, apart from my capri and granny limo ,the,ve always been vaguely dissapointing(and ive had a LOT of fords).

not wanting to make this into an anti ford thread mind, have a lovely capper

I'd call myself generally a BMC/Leyland man for the same reason Robin has said he likes Fords! But the last year or so I've broken that mould a bit as I would like to experience other makes and models. I doubt I'll get a Ford though simply because of the prices they go for. I don't see that a Mk1/2 Cortina estate would really do anything so much better than the Hillman to justify a much higher purchase price.

The problem with chopping and changing marques though is establishing where to go to get bits and who are the traders to trust.

I think I'll always have a VW/Audi product in my life - I'm certainly never parting with my mk2 GTI. Had Fords before and would love another mk1 Fiesta and I'd get stuck into building it properly, too. I want something more retro in my life though, handily we're moving to Malaysia in the next few months so I'll be spoilt for choice. Don't be too surprised when I return four years on with the Datsun 510 I bought in the first week I got there... ;D

I seem to be stuck buying vauxhalls all the time LOL. I have a real urge to buy BMW (esp E23s!), FB and FC Rx7s and a Triumph 2500 but I never seem to get even close!

I dunno, I like my old J-tin but end up buying them more by circumstance than anything else - they tend to be unloved enough that they go for quite cheap money, but in good condition and with MOT/tax.

I was very close to putting down a decent amount of money on a fairly local Austin Ambassador about a month ago, changed my mind due to being fairly low on money at the time. Would I do it given more money in the bank? Certainly would!
