Re: Cortina Mk1 4 door Automatic

Re: Cortina Mk1 4 door Automatic

"I tried searching for any MK1 for sale in N America in at least #2 condition for <$US13K. Not anymore ." Oh that ship has definitely sailed! Still wouldn't pay the asking for this one though, regardless of the exchange rate etc Wonder what the asking will be this time next year? :D :D :D

No chance, his asking is twice what its worth.

Re: Cortina Mk1 4 door Automatic

Really stupid asking price.

I cyber-chatted with him a couple of years back when he was asking just under $12K seems like a reasonable man but as I said above - Really stupid asking price.

Re: Sometimes Life Gets in the Way

Life does indeed remind us who is in charge... :D Not to 'top' your story but to underscore and empathize with what you posted. For a few months I have been feeling a lot less robust than usual, I put it down to the normal ageing process (I'm 75 and was in decent shape) until the process really acce...

Re: issue with icon?

Re: issue with icon?

I had given up ages ago trying to use the tools on this site, I create picture codes on a different site and use them here with never an issue. Just for experiment sake, I will try the tools here again. The word Image appears only so it still doesn't work. I just used the usual (tedious) method and...
