Car (or bike) Chat!

Finally managed to get the photos off my camera from the “Snetterton Classic” last Sunday. Here’s a few from around the pits of the racers.

Some classic old Fords - I love that Reliant Scimitar too. Don't see many of those anymore.

Funny how good that Sierra looks too, and no-one liked them when they came out.

Is that a Fiesta Super Sport in the second pic?

Yes, the Scimitar was lovely, ex girlfriend’s dad back in the 80’s had an estate like that one and. Convertible GTC.

I think the Fiesta was an XR2 (XR2 pepper pot alloys) but it was just marked as a Fiesta on the listings.

My father once had a Mk.1 Cortina with the trefoil rear light cluster. Think it had a 1.5 litre engine, but it might have been 1.2 litre.

I had forgotten how ugly the Austin Healey "Frogeye" Sprite was. Much preferred the looks of the MG A and MG B, despite their inferior performance.

Lovely stuff! My mate's dad had a couple of Scimitars back in the day, always liked them.

Drooling over the Alfas, I'm a bit of a fanboi.

Did a job for the father of an Alfa "fanboy" in Preston once - he had five or six Alfas on his drive, and across the road he had another five or six on his dad's drive, most of which look like basket cases. Then there were a few better looking ones parked on the street and on the neighbouring side road. Surprised the council haven't been on his case, I can only assume he can afford to keep them all taxed etc.

Must be at least 20 Alfas in total, I think that takes him beyond fanboy and into wealthy hoarder.

This was about five years ago, and they're still there. Obviously I had to rename that part of Preston "Alfaville" :)

Take up a bit more room than collecting vinyl lol.
