Thread: Think I have joined the broken crankshaft club

Hi, what's new about the car? Any new light on the subject?

News is so , so sad. After a fair bit of deliberation, decided to sell the big van, which then meant a big vehicle is not needed ( despite being the absolute best touring car ), so sold the Landmark to a yard.

Ricki has her KIA, so for the first time in my life i am perusing the car ads in the paper instead of the escorts .

Aim to spend around 12 to 15 grand , sorta interested in Forester, Outlander, X Trail , Tiguan. Or.......a well loved Goldwing

Escorts are getting a bit long in the tooth, mate.

I reckon I could help you out with a Goldwing, I haven't raged mine for a couple of years.

Escort ! ..........sigh, you Brisbane Grammer boys are so , ..........what's the word I'm looking for ?

Well I suppose better than a picture of a packet of fags.

Guess I will have to wait for Spudfan or Billy or Scarry or 4Bee to put in a proper photo. 🤔

The original Escort was a down market Squire, which in turn was a faux woody, Prefect estate (wagon in proper parlance ). So in effect, an Escort was an Anglia wagon.

Don't disagree. Just your's was greeted with a "someone else insert a proper photo", so I thought I'd have a go at something a little more recent (with less wrinkles).
