Spotted you yesterday heading west towards the freeway - looks great!

Cool, got all the way to Freo that day, the burnt orange tends to stick out in traffic

I've been plain Drew for a while now, we lost our old collie a few months back aged 16, I picked her up as a pup in my Escort. The mrs works weekends so she was my cruising buddy.....
Moving on though we thought we'd get one to match the car this time.... Introducing Scarlet, a ginger border collie. We've got her started early and bought her home in the old 'tina on the weekend...... She's got to learn some car manners yet but heres to many a sunday cruise
Cheers Drewdog.............

.....And then the water pump went.............
Brought old 'tina out of the garage for some fun in the sun over the long weekend, second day of driving around looking cool and the old girl got ill, dribbling coolant on the ground....... The water pumps just started leaking, not bad after 39 years.... Found a new one cheaply, they're a falcon part, ordering new thermo housing, hoses and thinking about a new/ recon radiator while we're at it, even though it'll mean no budget for the RS for a week or two.....
Cheers Drewdog............

It's been stunning weather here in perth for the last couple of weekends so we've decided to bring old 'Tina out of hibernation for some fun.
I listed it for sale a few weeks back with the possibility of a new project on the horizon. I'm glad it fell through now, it would of left a BIG hole in our garage.... That and we picked the new pup to match the car.... She's been trained up in the falcon over winter and has picked up perfect car manners. With the mrs working on weekends she's turning out to be a great cruising buddy
Cheers Drew........

G'day all,
With the weather turning for the better here in Perth I thought it was about time to pull the old girl out of the dads garage, dust her off and head out for the first show of the season. Went to the Rock and rumble festival held by telethon at our local showgrounds. Great event full of live rockabilly bands, vintage markets and a show of about 100+ cars. We were the only small Ford there but had alot of interest and spoke to good people all day.
I've made a pledge to get my head out of the garage and start using the car a bit more. Shes about to clock over 34000km so I'll try to make it to 36000 before the end of summer...
Cheers Drew.

Took the old girl out for a run to the Jaguar concourse today, not exactly Pebble beach but Sir James Mitchell reserve on the Swan River.
Parked the Cortina up with the other cars much to the dismay of a few jag owners, all was forgotten though when they worked out I'm the parks superintendent and will be deciding whether they get their bond back on monday
Lots of nice cars out for the day and we had fun saying 'zjag-uwar' in our best english voices...
Cheers Drew

Yeah most of the car clubs are pretty good, at the end of the day they're all real 'car guys' and appreciate all marques and the effort it takes to get them there. We do a few car shows through out the year, I never thought i'd see the day when I dropped the tools and took on some event management (weddings are a chore though)
A bit of banter always helps break the ice, I meet with the Porsche club every year and open with 'So you're from the VW owners club' he knows me now and always asks how my 'Gemini' is going 
Cheers Drew

I once said on RSMotorsport forum that MK1 escorts look similar to LJ toranas. Which ruffled a few feathers lol
Nice MK3 by the way ;D

good to see the old girl out and about and flying the small Ford flag. Glad you told us it is a TD, I immediately thought it was a TC. Still looks good. Len
