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 several have popped up inside my life. The very first that I could remember is really 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 1 was squarer and somehow chunkier than its forebears, and came as either as saloon or estate. You can get anything from a 1.3 litre to a 4.1 litre version somewhere on earth, with models being assembled in Australia and New Zealand, in addition to in Taiwan and Korea. escorts in brisbane

There have been at the least six previous owners listed for ours whenever we bought it from a friend with whom we Orienteered at weekends in the first eighties.

We were young, it was inexpensive: From the that 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 car to sit up and take notice when the key was turned and engine started) Citroen GS in'Beige Opale '. Know more

Aside from a period owing an orange Orion (which one could open with nearly every Ford key during the time (or therefore it seemed)), another significant Ford moment for me was witnessing a little corruption in industry in the Nineties, whenever a'Probe'was'gifted'to a parts buyer in exchange for a favourable outcome on a contract. The man had expressed a pursuit in the vehicle to a Sales Director, whose company car it was, and it became part of an incentive package that included foreign travel, a samurai sword and a female of the night. But enough of this, jobs were lost, contracts renegotiated, and the planet managed to move on - and now we find eleven million VW cars under scrutiny for many extremely questionable cheating business practices.
