This was the last time it was driven, backed it into the new garage I was building before it was even finished, and it hasn’t moved since. That was August 2017, I’m going to have to get it started, as I might have to drive it to Ross on wye

We move out in March, we’re yet to find a house to buy so moving it with the mrs parents. Mrs wants to move back towards her parents near Ross on wye, which I’m not as keen on. That said houses are cheaper and you can get some with decent amounts of land too, so I could easily have a big garage to fit 5-6 cars in I’ve been offered some space in a mate of the farther in laws barn, but I might store my other cars there but I’m too worried about the escort, so will build a temporary garage in their back garden, bought some steel fencing panels and I’ve got some roof sheets, I wouldn’t be able to relax if I can’t see where it is. Also found this photo. Unlikely but could have been my car back in the day Gold 1600 sport decals have been purchased by the mrs for my birthday on Monday so will fit them, I’m planning on using the car this year

I did look online but found nothing for a diff lock, later trucks have LSD which would help 130k on the clock now. Still running spot on.

Vauxhall omega. I saw one today,
An early one with a v6 and manual gearbox would still be great daily driver now.

2wd even on a slight muddy slope isn’t very good. Maybe I should convert it to 4WD one day.

Love seeing garage builds, this looks like a decent space, and good work on the draft excluding, be a lot cheaper to heat. we’ve sold our house so I can find somewhere to build a big garage.

MOT passed today. Although a rust hole has appeared in the cab floor, but as the chassis is fine. It’s only an advisory.
Will try and get it welded up this summer.
That’s another year of trouble free motoring although it only did 1500 miles as I’ve changed jobs and they give me a car to use
But another years ticket. Can’t complain

We’ve sold our house but haven’t found a house to buy. So will be moving in with her parents.
So I’ve got a mk2 escort that hasn’t moved for 2 years to move, and BMW Z4 that hasn’t moved in 3 years. Then everything I own, car interiors, wheels, engine cranes, lawnmowers, tools etc that before even start moving stuff that in the house.
Going to view a barn tomorrow to rent for storage.
Hopefully this time next winter I’ll have a new house with a nice big garage I can work in.
