Hi All,

yes thats my car although the wheels are now long gone and its back on its original 14s. Pic was taken at tesco in st austell by a bloke who spotted it belonging to the retro rides website who asked my permission to take a pic.

Blimey!
I've been there many times!

Many, many years ago before Tesco's existed my old (now sadly departed) Bristol coach lived on that there site!

Still think it's a nice looking car that one, and it's still red, it's jusy not fair

That was actualy quiet a bad photo of the car as it was filthy when the photo was taken and i also had the complete interior of my orion 16 injection ghia ( that im rebuilding) in the boot!. The car is remarkably still red but i dont know how because its used everyday washed maby 3 times a month and only polished when i feel like it. Yet its still pretty much one of the cleanest 16v, s ive seen hence the reason ive kept it 8 years and every time it throws its toys out of the pram im down the local motorfactors.

When you coming to pay us a visit doc?? not met you yet!

I really should get down to Cornwall again, I miss the place.

Maybe sometime in the new year if I can tear myself away from the endless grinding and welding on the bus that makes War and Peace look like a short story on a Cornflake Packet!

Although I'll have to park my car in Devon and walk the rest of the way, your car would SERIOUSLEY show mine up!

Be good to meet you though, you're in the minority now of people I aint met!

EDIT: Actually some people would probably say you're better off for it!
