Hello everybody been hanging around this forum for a little while now. Thought it was about time I joined and said Hello!

I dont know anyone here and never been on a member of a forum before, so go easy with me.

Love my F to bits its a 98 abingdon VVC.
She's called Gina. Had her for a few years now. She generally only comes out in the summer on sunny days. (she doesn't like rain).

I am based around the south london/ Surrey area.

I have picked up lots of advice from here and saved a few quid here and there

Only mods are K&N air filter and T Bar speakers! Dont want to go mad with the mods as I like her just the way she is.
But I have spent plenty of time browsing what you guys do to yours and I am amazed with what I see, it truly is great viewing

Here are some rough pics taken the other day on my phone. Hopefully get some better ones up soon.
Also wouldn't mind getting on a run with you guys. May have a go at the sussex tunnel run if I can be squeezed in

Hi and welcome to the Tbar

like the look of your car ,,, oh it looks like mine

Car looks very nice and clean, Thank you for saying hi and comming out of the shadows, You never know the sun might come out on the day of a meet and you can join in haha, hopefully see you at one of the ones down this way

Thanks for saying hello Albingdon, nice to see photos too

We always have room for a fellow F'er on our runs.

Look forward to seeing you on one soon.

Great thanks for that. I will mention it on the actual thread too.

That's an Alan Minter mate! Similar to mine except for silly exhaust, de-badge and tan hood.

You do not have permissions to access this page.

Where did you get that and how much if i may ask?

Bongo.

Cheers Bongo

To be honest, it was given to me by my Dad. He bought it in 2003. Gave it to me a couple of years ago. I actually went with him when he bought it. He paid around £8000 or so at the time.

It is in really good condition. Just under 50k on the clock. Wheels need a refurb, hood is just about reaching the end of its life, but the body panels are in fantastic condition for a car of its age.

It is just a shame that even in good condition these cars are just not worth anything these days.
Not that I'm selling!

Alan.

welcome, the folks here are all really helpful and friendly, Gina looks in fab condition, something I aspire to with mine
