Say'Ford'and several names and images come to mind: mass production; the'Model T '; the name'Henry'and the iconic signature style Logo. For my generation, growing up in the Seventies,'Capri'and'Escort ', are names that stay with us, as are windy words like Zephyr and Cortina for the Sixties folk. oriental escorts Brisbane

Ford cars are ubiquitous, and their images sustained, and a couple of have popped up during my life. The first that I will remember is just a beigey/goldey/ rusty coloured Mark IV Cortina.

The Mark IV was assembled in Dagenham, Essex, and was the United Kingdom's most widely used car of the seventies, in production from 1976 - 79, and the successor to three previous generations / incarnations first released in 1962. This one was squarer and somehow chunkier than its forebears, and came as either as saloon or estate. You can get anything from the 1.3 litre to a 4.1 litre version somewhere on the planet, with models being assembled in Australia and New Zealand, along with in Taiwan and Korea. escorts brisbane

There were at least six previous owners listed for ours once we bought it from a buddy with whom we Orienteered at weekends back in the early eighties. It had a brown vinyl roof, went just like the clappers, and had a 2.0 litre engine fitted where once a humble 1.6 had rested. To begin, it included a screwdriver - no key - whilst the ignition bits have been removed at a time when someone somewhere had nicked the thing. We were young, it had been inexpensive: From the this one of my cars to be fun. It followed a nasty, ill-judged, Mini which tried to kill us on the A37 south of Bristol, and our second car, a secure, dull, ordinary (except for the clever suspension system which caused the automobile to sit up and take notice when the key was turned and engine started) Citroen GS in'Beige Opale '. Know more

Besides a period of time owing a blue Orion (which one could open with just about any Ford key at the time (or so it seemed)), the next significant Ford moment for me was witnessing a little corruption in industry in the Nineties, when a'Probe'was'gifted'to a parts buyer inturn for a favourable outcome on a contract. The man had expressed a pursuit in the vehicle to a Sales Director, whose company car it had been, and it became part of an incentive package that included foreign travel, a samurai sword and a female of the night. But enough of the, jobs were lost, contracts renegotiated, and the planet moved on - and now we find eleven million VW cars under scrutiny for many extremely questionable cheating business practices.
