Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    ...I saw an ad on TG4 this eve for a programme celebrating all things Cortina.

    Next Sunday, 21:30 hrs.....

    It sure beats watching The Week in Politics..

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Saw this advertised also, looks good. Nice to see some car-related programmes on Irish TV at last!

    That looks it was drawn by a child.

    What is with the current trend to reduce the visibility to zero with tiny windows? In twenty years we'll be looking out slits like tank drivers.

    the new Cortina looks very like the Focus drophead, with allusions to the Mk1 Cortina in the grille and back lights
