Hey I'm new to the Forum

Hey I'm Sabrina, I'm all the way down in sunny Cornwall. I've got a 2.0 Scorpio in Burgandy. My brother was given it as an MOT failure last year and asked if I wanted it. Bargain!!! He put 12 months ticket on it and I took it off his hands  I love driving it, sooooo comfortable  It spends more time on the road than my Capri
Unfortunately I've found it attracts VW Golfs and I've managed to hit 3 of them  Luckily no serious damage to either car but mine has a few dents and scrapes now. It's missing it's lense over the OSF indicator 
Does the Scorpio forum ever go to any of the shows like Ford Fair? I'll be there with my Capri, so hopefully see some of you about!!

Hi Sabrina, I also live in Cornwall, look out for a black facelift cosworth R678BCR. There are a lot of Scorpio down here but not many go on this site.

Hiya, I've got a Champagne Gold 1.6LS
I think to be fair though that I should really be looking for a front bumper coz it's looking a bit of a mess. I've just started a Bodywork Course at my local college so might have a go at repairing it

Mine looks like a car but has quite a bit of rust, she's awaiting new panels and a nice diamond white spray job

It's an awful colour to match, had someone in a Golf drive up the back of it a few years back and the local repair shop couldn't match it. Anyway Pink doesn't go with Gold but better with White and the Grey half leather interior There is only one other Champagne one that I know of that does the Big Ford Shows

ANOTHER Golf?
Remind me to buy a Nissan or something if I move your way...I never knew playing Golf was so dangerous
They look nice in white though (the Capri, not the Golf ), when we had ours restored and the paint was new it was a stunner

Golf's are common as muck down 'ere, and I'm attracted to them for some reason. My brother works for VW and two of them have ended up there

You better not come to" Run to the sun" at the end of May with all the VWs.
As I live in Newquay I think I will leave the cosworth at home just in case it suffers the same attraction as yours.
