Loved the Orion 1.6 Ghia injection. You had a Ghia injection, you were the envy of your mates.Likeing the dealer fitted RS bodykit on that one too! My dad had a mk1 Orion in diamond white, was an awesome car. Not a Ghia though, but still looked sweet. Unreliable as hell though! Had so much trouble with the carb on it (RAC guy even said it was a design fault of the carb itself) where it used to cause a back pressure then the car would stop. Got it fixed eventually though. I'll see if i can find a photo of it. One of my best friends had the Orion Ghia injection, was so envious! And the car he traded in for it.......MK2 Fiesta XR2 in rosso red. Loved that wee car soooo much, but I didnt have the pockets to buy one then! Deffo no got the pockets now! You seen how much anything old with a Ford badge goes for nowadays!

The car I wanted when I past my driving test was a mk3 Ford Cortina 2000E! Those were the car to have back in my youth, along with the mk2 Escort. Sadly, Couldn't wait till I past my test so went and bought a lovely white mk3 2000E before I even got my license! Couldn't drive it legally so my big bro used to take me out for a spin in it, deal being he got to use it to go to work lol. Had a mk2 Escort too, which I stupidly drove before passing my test and got caught! Years ban before I even had my license, not something I'm proud of, just wanted to drive!!!

So, car I always wanted (and got!) (photoshopped the number plate from mine onto it!)DAVES MK3 2000E.JPG
