    Old bangers

    One for the ex boy (or girl) racers

    How Many Left?

    Someone's just got an MG Metro Turbo back on the road. Wonder if it's got the red seatbelts.

    Disappointed . Thought this was a GILF thread.

      That's quite worrying: it seems there are between 0 and 301 of my Ford Orion still around

      0 is clearly incorrect given that I drove home in one today, but it's hard to tell which is my car from a list that (when narrowed down to "Ford Orion Ghia") includes "Orion Ghia" twice (41, 6), "Orion Ghia I" four times (173, 301, 3, 96), and "Orion Ghia 5SPD" twice (79, 46), as mine fits all those descriptions.

      Nonetheless, it seems to explain why we don't see many other Orions as we zoom about these days

      Interestingly, there appear to be several thousand more Morris Minors than Ford Orions still bimbling about. I've always liked them, so I can't begrudge them their apparent evolutionary advantage

        I've just had some week old sausages. Does that count?

          Great find!

          Fifteen years ago every other car on the road seemed to be a Rover (like mine at the time); but now one sees hardly any.
