Thanks for the tag and thinking of me but I'd be looking at a D5 and I'm not yet in a safe position to grab one unfortunately!

I must admit, I've been looking at classic BMWs... 😅 But my wants are firmly for an auto one, and I haven't found one that meets my budget it.

I like the Orion, but I can't imagine the CVH engines do them any favours for lasting to classic status!

I have seen this. It is a pretty stunning example and while it does have signs of some not great rot spots starting, it's probably still one of the nicest HLs you could currently buy.

I'm sort of cursed in a way by them. It will hurt to get rid of some cars because I love them so much. But somewhere in this, I still need to build that Triumph 2000 too on top of everything else going on, too. At least that will be tax free! I can make an excuse for that, even with the thirst.

Thank you, Guy. 💖 To be honest if you're really looking for one, I could sell you my unit and all my tapes if you want? I've had fun with the format but my tapes need someone who can give them more love than I can right now (like re-splicing at sensing foils

Thank you, Andy. 💖 Honestly, my plan was to leave the car exactly like this visually, but it's the welding underneath and mechanical fixes I haven't got time/money for any-more, unfortunately. I haven't really vibed with this car other than it being a hypothetical tatty van for us. 😅

Thank you Rob. 💖 Getting there slowly. Life has been a big road of ups and downs the past few years. Hoping next year will have a lot more ups.

Hey Martin, thank you for the kind words. 💖 We're getting there. Just got lots of planning ahead and lots of money managing. But there seems to be a nice ray of sunshine for us waiting at the end of a long, but methodical plan! All part of getting my life back in order.

Hey Warren, it is a tricky balance but we reckon we have some very solid future plans for us here!

There's two more vehicles desired for next year. Both of them, things I/we have wanted for a very long time. One of them is so ridiculously cheap to tax and run and absolutely bulletproof and for once, isn't rare! I won't delve into it too much as it's very finance dependant but fingers crossed. 4/4

Finances add up when you have this many cars that are relatively tax heavy plus insurance and fuel. Definitely want no more deep projects either!! Especially after the ££££s spent in the past few years on garbage... So time to think forward a bit more. 3/4

I've got my eyes set on future vehicles to finally settle down with and a bit more sensible. Ralph doesn't fit into that because of parts scarcity and cost. I can just about keep Noah afloat thanks to the stash. But it won't last forever. Thankfully the original seller of Ralph may be interested 2/4

This is great news! Certainly a motivator to keep Noah the Montego for longer.

That's lovely! Me being me, ideally I'd want a D5 one because grumbly 5 cylinder truck noises. (I miss that from the XC90!) At the moment I unfortunately have neither the space or cash to take on something.
But thank you for thinking of me! I'd still like one someday and always enjoy spotting them

Hehe I've become a bit of a Mondeo anorak in recent years. 😅 Almost like my family had several Fords of that era; including Mondeos! Merle is our fleet's 3rd. 😂 I love a daily used Mondeo. Merle is now over 18k miles after being 11k miles when we bought him. He puts a lot of work in for the fleet!

They've also toned down the colour selection. Petrol blue for example which is one of my favourite colours from the Mondeo line up is notably absent. That was the colour of our MK1 we used to have, Mildred.

If you compare this to my 1997 MK2 brochure, the 1997 version is packed with way more pictures and optional specs to show off the new model. And while this one isn't devoid of effort, you can tell it's been toned down massively.
