20 years old today, I’m sure a few more of you will share this birthday as well.

Proud to have owned her for 17 years 3 months to the day.

How she is now, and the day I picked her up.

Great car, great owner.

Thanks Garry, great club as well. We just need member’s to post more on the forum and not Facebook.

[Garry T]

Yeah, I sort of get that. I'm as guilty as anyone .I post on facebook a lot, its just there and easier. But I do understand and agree with you, although I wouldnt have a scooby doo how to post a picture on here.

[Garry T]

Oh! and you are right, it's a great club.

Well done for such a long ownership Dave and still loving the car. You have a prime example Dave.

Lovely car Dave, and a nice owner at that too 👍
you're right about forums and faceache, but it seems nowadays many people seem more interested in fb, and as for posting i may be in the same boat.
as for needing info, fb might be faster, but if you wanna search for solething a forum is a lot easier.
i liked times better when fb wasn't as dominant and i frequented couple forums daily, but times change, and there is little we can do about it i guess 😳
Great club? Deffo, made me some very good friends and got to kniw loads of other nice fellow enthusiasts 👍👍

I‘ve deleted Fakebook a few years ago, no regrets.
I’m a club man and love being here

Cracking pics Dave. I love the then and now comparison. I too am not on facebook and never have been. I am so grateful for this forum. Just a shame most would use the facebook version now as times advance.

Following up on the 20 years old anniversary of these great cars I decided to visit the supplying garage of my car on its 20th birthday. The original garage was Elkins Ford at Westbury ( Wilts). The guy in the photo was an apprentice in 2003, and can remember servicing the car in 2004 as it belonged to one of the garage owners.

Thanks for a great site and all the ‘ words of wisdom’ on the various forums.

How cool Nigel. Great to see your car back at the supplying Ford Dealer and even better to get a picture with the guy with your car who was an apprentice back in the day. Thanks for sharing and uploading the images.

I was sent a photo of this car in March at a garage local to me 🤣. Small world.

What a great story, makes me smile that one.
