A bottle green 1976 MK3 Ford Cortina 1.6L, with a 2.0L engine.

It advertized as a 2000E. Big bloke with lots of tattoos sold it to me in the middle of a council estate in Walthamstow when I was 17.

I wasn't keen on buying it, but wasn't keen on my chances of walking out of that estate with 250 quid in my pocket so I drove it home.

First car I "owned", 1963 Corvair Monza, bought it with paper route money. Never did get it licensed but drove it around late at night and early in the morning delivering papers.

First car I really owned was a 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint convertible. Got it from my dad who worked at a foundry. The car LOOKED good but the fumes/acid rain from the foundry ate the metal away. You could poke your fingers through spots on the car! What a death trap but a 16 year old, in a V-8 convertible? Man, oh man, I was the "cock of the walk" for about 6 months until the body separated from the the front wheels going over a railroad track.

It must be a local saying
