Steve Walton 128 Posted February 10, 2020 I am surprised Russel has moved this on unless it is for something interesting Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Walton 128 Posted February 12, 2020 Russells 2 Door Cortina for sale on Ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Cortina-1-3l-2-Door-44000-Miles/333512756366?hash=item4da6e8cc8e:g:jKkAAOSwliZeQ~61 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Webster 28 Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) It seems Russel could be "something of a butterfly" with cars ... He had a very nice Capri for a while ... Part exchanged it for a very nice XJ40 Jaguar Sport, maybe as far back as 2016 or so. Appearing on the Forum for that model, prolifically posting on there .... Only to sell it and buy it back, then to sell it again .... Then to buy this latest Cortina. Hey ho ....

GhiaMk4/5 206 Posted March 19, 2020 I own a Mercedes, but the model numbers pickle my brain, never got my head round them, why can't they have Mk1, Mk2 etc. Always liked Mercedes until they go wrong and then they are expensive, the wife's air suspension is in need of an overhaul on her E class estate, got the breakdown of parts from Mercedes, just under 2k!!!

Tony Webster 28 Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Hmmm., I've never unscrambled the Mercedes model code ether, gentlemen, not to mention the Engine codes ether ! I've recently bought a BMW, long story, blame it on Windows 10 ! And they "do it" too. It seems I have an "E46, with an N42, B18 Engine" . I'll look up Russel's latest acquisition with interest.

GhiaMk4/5 206 Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Back on topic, l have NEVER purchased Ford's to make a quick bit of money, but perhaps he thought he could make a nice tidy sum on them. I have owned some of mine that long l would be embarrassed to reveal the purchase price of some of them!!! Edited March 22, 2020 by GhiaMk4/5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D-FENS 76 Posted March 22, 2020 I messaged Russell on Feb 20th asking why he had sold up because he said he was in for the long haul with his latest Cortina . He hasn't bothered to reply 😡 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably meant to say he would be in it until he got his first bit of magazine glory then the car would be off down the road. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BSV205F 0 Posted June 20, 2020 Hearing through the classic scene up here that Russell now has a '86 VW Scirroco I can't keep up with how many cars he has for such short periods of time!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
