Hey guys thought i had best introduce myself and my car.
Im Russ and i drive a '99 Ford Focus 1.4

I spotted this club at the Romsey car show a few months ago i liked the thought of a local Ford club.

Started life like this


Now looks a little something like this... it's been a heck of a build!

Hi Russ,
Welcome to the forum
Glynn

[Russ902]

Thanks for the welcome, fuzzy im pretty sure i drove past you the other day, saw a mk4/5 Cortina driving through Alderbury and it had a patch of primer on the rear wheel arch?

[FUZZY]

Hi ... Not my MK 5.  Unfortunately mine has been taking its summer vacation, but will hopefully be back on the road in the next week or 10 days.  You cant miss it... Brown with, brown rust patches and grey primer and red lead primer on all panels.  Sitting a bit lower than usual.  Looks like it just got dragged out of a scrappy.  Been driving my Mk 2 Fiesta soft top around all summer. What with weather, top not down often.  Also been driving wifes red mk1 Escort, and her white XR3i soft top.   
Cheers,  Fuzzy.

Plenty of cars for me to keep an eye out for then! Im looking for a retro ford to replace the focus soon if anyone knows of any cheap Fiesta's/ Escorts or 'Tina's. Can only be a 1.6 at the most or insurance companies will rob my bank of the hard earned.

Hi Rus, Kev Looker will be the man to speak to he has more cars the Lord Montagu & some are fo sale. He did have jewish racing gold mk5 tina with some mot for sale not long back. All there but could do with a tidy up. Depends what your looking for road going project  or something already done & how much cash you want to part with ??

[Russ902]

A road going project is exactly what i want, something that needs a bit of work but is still road legal. I'm thinking of selling the focus in january and buying something for my birthday, what ever i get for the focus will be what i have to spend on the new one.

Hey Russ,

My son's selling his mk5 tina. It's a bit shabby round the edges but a real good solid car. It's got a new mot and only done 56k. The interior is mint. Your welcome to have a look if your interested.

[Russ902]

George - that sounds just the ticket, having a rough time at the minute and a project is what i need to get my mind off things! Where are you too? Any pics and idea of price? Many thanks

Fuzzy - Im absolutly certain i've seen some of yours Fords hanging around by Salisbury college, a convertible mk2 Fiesta hiding at the side of the pub and just yesterday a brown/ red Tina lowered on 4 spokes, Tina looked amazingly cool! Seen a green mk3 Tina around too, any idea's?

[George]

I'll take some some pics and get them uploaded over the weekend. She is a good solid car just needs a bit of tlc! He wants about 700 for it, think he's open to offers!

[Russ902]

Definatly interested George!

[George]

Are you going to the club meet sunday? We can bring her along if you are.

[Russ902]

That sounds like a great idea, what time is the meet? Il need a postcode for the satnav too because my geographic skills aren't the best! Would be nice to meet other members too!
