Aye right! You can make anything look good on film. The Jags were being driven with the handbrake on to give the Grannies a chance.

Nah, it was all those pesky cardboard boxes that they kept colliding with. Scourge of the 70's gent were yer actual large cardboard box, always popping up to thwart yer honest businessman about 'is business in 'is hooky Jaaaaag. _________________ 1974 Mk1 Escort. |

I'm surprised we haven't heard from Mike C. He really doesn't like Ford Granadas!
I have only been a passenger in one and found it pleasant enough - if a little dull. |

I must admit I do like a Granada, ours had 2.8i engines, sports suspension and taxi interiors. The orange stripes on white body looked smart as well......
Although the Senators were even better. _________________ 1974 Mk1 Escort. |

I will come clean. I watch Talking Movies from time to time and always put the film on hold while I investigate on the DVLA whether the car still exists. My doctor says there is no cure for it. |
