I had a 1940 Ford V8 in Canada while I was doing my training with the RCAF. Its was in perfact conditon since salt was not used on the roads, the Canadians were aces at driving on ice!

My 1st was a 1.1 gold Fiesta with brown interior which my parents bought me in 1992.
After many Fords, I had a Red Nissan 200SX, then an red MGF (soft top), now I have a ZS180 2.5 V6 that changes colour in the light (girly I know)

first car i bought myself was a pug 205 GT, couldnt afford the insurnace or the cost of the actual GTi, but if someone asked what you drive and you said "oh 205 GT..and then mumble the (i) at the end, ppl would think you had a GTi sad but worked. loved it to bits, drove like stink, rattled like all pigging french cars and was great until i crashed it twice and eventually it gave up the ghost.
Now drive an MY00 classic
still drive the same way

My first car was a Lancia Beta HPE, but I quickly changed it for a supercharged HPE Volumex when I found out that it cost exactly the same to insure (£350 TPF&T in 1988).

WB, that pulsar looked nice mate its rare to see a good clean one on the road today.
my dad had a sierra exactly like yours lol 2.0 ghia (a reg)
i remember him getting the older back lights for it (with the thin black lines on them) a bit like people today getting lexus lights lol, only 20 years ago!!!!
that was a nice car, as sierras hadn't been out long then and used to get funny looks in it!!!
oil burner for me next i think, as fuel, tax and insurance will kill me off!!!!
cheers
