I had a navy blue zephyr zodiac in the early 80s - bench seats and column change.... not a mark on it until I tried to park it in a multi-story car park, it was like docking the QE2...

not arf pop pickers, the black leather upholstery was made the interior look like a 3 piece suite and the dash was walnut and chrome. It ran like a dream, except when the thingy went and we had to have a torque converter thingy replaced, good job my ex was in the RAF the MT mechanics rallied round lol

Zepher/zodaics transformend into the ford consul Jasper (not the cortina) then went on to be the granada and the granada coupe was the best of the mk one grannies I felt like the bees neez when I had my gold one with matching gold furry seat covers.

But then came the 2.9 ford scorpio ultima cosworth now that was a feerkin car and a half and it went like a rocket it was sooo much faster than my xr3 and my 2000E.

Oh happy days

Dot I still have a scorpio ultima (albeit a 2.3) and the leather seats are so big and comfertable and all the boys toys on it are much better than any new car that you can get now.

They beat a merc hands down

I've never bothered with chav cars. I drive a breathed-on Lotus Exige. I once had a Bond Minicar as a sexual statement.

Evening whiffs well I can tell you that you have never driven a real mans car until you have driven an xr3 or a scorpio ultima cosworth

Question Author

Well maybe not an xr3 as that just might have been a gay hairdressers car.

But the ultima cossie is a muscle car
