Title: Hey I'm new to the Forum
Post by sab6024 on May 3rd, 2008, 1:57pm
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  ;D  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  ;D

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  ;)

Diamond white 2.0 Ghia here (well, bits of it ::)).

One day it'll look like a car again, I live in hope ;D

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

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? :o

Remind me to buy a Nissan or something if I move your way...I never knew playing Golf was so dangerous ;D

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  ;D

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

I know, I'm looking for an Ultima now without VW tendencies lol

I'm only a few miles away from you then, I'm not far outside Newquay

Nooo, the Ultimas are worse. Giving an Ultima a Golf is worse than giving a fox a barn full of chickens...believe me :-/
