None

[Ian in Northampton]

Anglia: 1972 - 1975

Escort: 1975 - 1978 lovely metallic silver with a wood racing steering wheel

Capri: 1978 - 1981 pride of my life - red, Mark 1B with power bulge bonnet, black vinyl, 'whip back' aerial

Cortina: 1.6L: 1981 - 1982 first company car

Granada 2.3GL: 1982 - 1985 changed companies partially to get a better car...

Then a period of unfaithfulness - Rover 820SE, Carlton 2.2CDi, Volvo 940 estate

Galaxy: 1996 - 1999

Galaxy: 1999 - 2002

Galaxy: 2002 - 2003 (all company cars)

Lost job, bought aging Carlton 2.0 estate

Galaxy: 2004 - today (the first Galaxy I've 'owned' - it seems a lot more expensive to run than the company ones... :ph34r: )

[Andrew T]

Is the Granada Dorchester the Funeral car ?

[Guest neil_wiles]

The Granada Dorchester is in the style of a funreal car but it is the white "wedding" variety. With blue leather interior.

 

Just in need of some TLC and will be ready for Baby sis wedding in ten days.

[Guest MATT jr]

lol all i know, is weve always had a ford, and most of the time, have been good.

 

Buy a Rolls Royce if you want Everything!

i am on number 75 at the moment, iam a ford nut through and through :lol: looking for number 76 as soon as my yellow mondeo sells, and hopefully it will be a galaxy :D

 

75 cars !!!!!

 

I assume you measure the length of ownership in WEEKS rather than YEARS :D

 

JEX 248 V 1979 Mk2 Transit Gentian Blue 1981-1994 ( killed by iron worm )

A nnn aaa 1981 Mk3 Escort Red 1994 - 1997 ( engine died )

G 990 NAH 1991 Mk4 Escort Red 1997 - 2000 ( viciously murdered by an expensive motor bike )

Private Plate 1997 Galaxy 2.0 GLX Mistral Blue 2004 - present

 

Also had 3 different Escort vans when I worked for BT.

J 406 VOP

M 270 OOX

S 634 TDA ( i think the reg is right... only had that for 8 months)

 

Other vehicles I have owned....

 

1961 Mini 850

1972 Daf 55

1974 Renault 16TS

1981 Nissan Cherry

1990 Peugeot 309 Look

1991 Peugeot 309 GLD

1997 Hyundai Lantra

 

So in total I have only owned 11 vehicles in 30 years and that is only because we have had 2 cars since 1995

 

The Mini and the DAF were fun to drive, Renault suffered engine failure, Nissan froze solid one winter and popped all the core plugs. Both the Pugs were reliable workhorses but not very comfortable.

 

Lantra suffers from condensation when using aircon.... windscreen gets so cold the OUTSIDE steams up!!!

 

Galaxy is by far the best car I have ever owned and second place in my heart goes to the Transit. did a lot of miles in 13 years :D

[Guest Dave S 194]

I haven't had as many as that, but seeing this thread has reminded me of them and the good times (and bad) had in them over the years. Here's my list and approx year of manufacture.

Cortina mk3 2.0GXL - 1973

Cortina mk3 2.0 GT - 1974

Would have another one. Just went to Motor show at weekend and had a good look at the S Max and Galaxy. Didn't seem to be much difference between the 2 and would go for the S Max if i had to choose.

[neiluk]

My current Galaxy is my first 'Ford' but when I were a lad my Father had a Mk1 Cortina saloon (I remember lying face down on the back seat of the car with my arms over my ears when my father used to get it close to 65MPH, as the engine was making so much noise I thought it was going to explode!), then later a Mk5 Cortina 1.6GL saloon with a Hilman Avenger 1.2 saloon in between.

 

I'm afraid the cars I have owned have been more Vauxhall orientated up to now with a

 

Mk1 Astra 1.6 L hatch for about 1 month in 1987 after passing my test.

Mk2 Cavalier 1.6 GL saloon from 1987 to 2000 . My fathers old car.

Daewoo Nexia 1.5 GLXi saloon from 2000 to 2007. It cost me

[CM2007]

If I'm being honest, this is only my second ever Ford in 10 years of driving and the only one I've ever had actually on the road!

I hope I'll not be hated for this but if I'm going to be on here, I'll be honest from the start. I am a BMW man to the core. Not that I have anything against any other cars, It's just I bought my first beemer about 7 years ago and I have spent less on keeping the 3 I've had than the
