Title: Scorpio-less after 11 years!
Post by Ian on Dec 25^th, 2007, 1:48am

I'm sad to say that I traded in my beloved Scorpio last week, after nearly of 11 years of Scorpio motoring - three years in a 2 litre Ultima then nearly eight years in a Cosworth! I'd grown to know the car so well but felt it was time to move on while she was still running well.

I will still look in from time to time and I am still a Ford man. In fact, I bought two cars to replace the Scorpio, a Mondeo 2.2TDi (2006) for the "grunt" and a new Focus CC3 for the "looks".

Anyway if someone on here buys a Panther black Cosworth S629PMJ, let me know. She is a good car and will always get you home!

Merry Christmas all and a Happy New Year too!

Ian

Hi there Ian!

I came from the other direction; we had a 2001 Mondeo V6 Ghia estate as our primary family car, and I bought a Cossie Ghia estate as our second car. The Mondeo has now been replaced...with another one, a 2004 2.2 TDCi Ghia X estate, however the Scorpio will stay with us!

I'll second that, have a great 2008 fellows!

Good luck Ian, don't be a stranger :)

I enjoyed the 'My cars, past and present' thing on your site, the bit about the aircon on the Laser really tickled me ;)

You'll miss it, even with 2 Jags, a Mondeo and a Capri to worry about, I still miss mine..I keep saying I'll quit everything Scorpio and move on but I still get drawn back..

Regards, Bruce.

Thanks Bruce,

Yes, I used to think of the little blue switch as "turbo boost", except that you had to switch it off for a good getaway at the lights.
