I just found an old photo album of my dads old cars.
Some of them are just so cool, i thought i'd share them with you
Sorry about the picture quality. They're all pictures of pictures, and most of them were fairly poor quality to begin with.

They're in no particular order.

The BMW 2002 (not sure if its a real turbo though)


3.0s Capri


Droop Snoot Firenza.


Don't think its his mk2 Escort, but it is his mk1 Granada.


Mini and his first 911.


Another Mini & Mk1 Escort (ignore the Jaguar badge on the bonnet )


Mk2 Cavalier


X-Pack Mk2 Escort



The Mk1 Granada again. I love the sun strip


Finally, and opel Ascona b?



I'm fairly sure i've made a couple of mistakes with the names, so if anyone knows better, then please correct me.

If anyone else has any pics of their old mans cars, then feel free to add some.

All very cool and fast cars in their days.

Many are loved classics now. Good taste

So what happened to you then. You've let your dad down with a Corsa

Its funny you say that. I don't actually have, and probably never will have a corsa. Not really my cup of tea. I don't even know why i'm here

I was close to getting a mk2 escort, but blew all the money on cocaine and alcohol in a 4 month binge. Thats a whole different story though

Nice one, they look .

My dad had a mini that was a bit special (he reckons) only other car of any note was a volvo 480, used to tow the cravan with it too which was a funny sight.

Yeah, the X-Pack is the name given to the body kit/arches. Not sure if there was anything else. Jr will probably be better informed then me.

My dad had an austin maxi that he swapped for a Rover 2000TC that was a shitter, then he had a Sunbeam Rapier that was a beast from what he has told me, he then had the choice of a green triumph dolomite sprint or a 2.0 lazer capri, for some unknown reason he took the capri, that got worte off by a drunk driver and was replaced by a Citreon 2CV which is the first car I can remember, that got scrapped for a Pug 205 XLD which got swapped for a PT Cruiser that got PX`d for a Megane CC
