Lateef ◊ 2011-12-15 10:22	1995-97 Scorpio MkII. One of my favourite cars, although many people disagree with me
walter ◊ 2011-12-15 19:14	I think that it's not as bad as the people majority opinion. There are sure several uglier most well-known cars for me
m.pfaffeneder ◊ 2011-12-15 21:36	@Lateef: I agree with you, it´s a great car. Somebody sells a 1998 Scorpio in my village. It´s a 147 hp Scorpio in Ghia trim. Not much rust, only 152.000 km. Looks quite good.
Ingo ◊ 2011-12-15 21:54	For ridicoulous few €, I presume?
Ingo ◊ 2011-12-15 22:28	Anyways, it would be a much more appropriate car for you as your own first car, than the embarassing stuff quote Which car would I like to drive, when I am 18: Ford Fiesta, VW Polo, Seat Ibiza, Ford Focus, VW Golf, Seat Leon, maybe Audi A3 or Audi A1. quote This is all little girls- and stupid school boy-junk. Something uncommon, even unpopular is much more freaky and stylish. And it's much chaper, too. no loss of value any more. Unfortunately the youth today has a different way of thinking about cars Back in the 80ies a freaky older car belonged was a must to be accepted by the car-freak-community.

Of course a freaky car is great, but a newer car is more economical, safer and in some other things better than an old car. And I think, that a Scorpio is too big as a first car. Furthermore I´m not searching for a girls- and stupid school boy junk. I won´t drive a rusty, old Fiat Punto, Ford Ka or a Polo with kermit-green rearlights and faked alloy wheels. I´m really searching for a Focus or a newer Fiesta. Of course it should be stylish, so it won´t have faked alloys or any other pimp stuff.

I´m really searching for a Focus or a newer Fiesta. Of course it should be stylish, so it won´t have faked alloys or any other pimp stuff. Your first thought is wrong. An older car is always more ecnonomical, especially, when you can repair it by yourself - and you even are working in a Ford-garage. The buying price is much cheaper and the loss of value is much smaller, if even existing at all. A Scorpio II has defintely none at all, as it cannot be cheaper. And older cars aren't automaticially unsafe. This is bullshit, said always by clueless morons. Size and weight are more important. And with a Focus or Fiesta you can do what you want, it never will be stylish, not even with higher priced pimp stuff (so all non-original parts) They are nothing more than youngster-vehicles. Either boring or embarassing. Mostly both. -- Last edit: 2011-12-17 20:39:34

Sandie ◊ 2011-12-18 15:11	I wouldn't feel safe on the autobahn in a small car either: http://images.forum-auto.com/mesimages/26699/small-car-crash.jpg They vary the size of the blocks in crash tests depending on the size of the car so small cars are not crashed to the same standards as larger ones. The Bel Air comparison is a false one here as we are talking about newer cars than that which still have safety features like airbags and pretensioned seat belts. Also, it is widely believed that more safety features do not make you safer. Because if people feel safer they take more risks on the road. That is why some countries have removed markings on the road and why the number of car accident deaths never fell significantly after seatbelt laws came in. -- Last edit: 2011-12-18 15:17:43

AFAIK, dangerous thing about old cars islack of deforming areas, which adsorb kinetic rnergy of impact. That Bel Air acts like it is a one big deforming area due to "specially prepared" body and frame.
Ingo ◊ 2012-05-31 21:39	@Lateef: this afternoon I saw a Scorpio II Sedan in our village. Slightly pimped with a faked Texas-license plate and annother plate with something of "Confederated Boys" behind the back window, plus a sticker in Iron Cross-shape with the inscription "Rockabillys". It was a sign of pure poverty. The owner cannot afford a classic US car, not even an Opel Rekord (which some freaks are using as substitution) so he had to choose the cheapest possibility to come slightly close to his dream. He moved to that street, because the apartments are cheaper there, I presume. In the past he lived in our street. Haircut, tattoos and partly the clothes were rockabilly-like, but as cars he had before a matt-black painted Mercedes 190 and then an Omega Caravan, both in not really good condition. Now this Scorpio II. -- Last edit: 2012-05-31 21:54:55
Sandie ◊ 2012-05-31 21:43	What about a Bluesmobile?
G-MANN ◊ 2012-05-31 21:45	That's funny. I wonder if anyone will want to bid more than £100 for it. I think if you're going to make a British version of the Bluesmobile use something like a Vauxhall Senator which was successful as a police car. -- Last edit: 2012-05-31 21:47:57

Ingo ◊ 2012-05-31 21:48	Nono, he's a 50ies rockabilly-fan, not really about the late 70ies Blues Brothers. Ths precious item ran only one summer (1994). Then it had an unrepairable bursted engine. And the owner no time and space to refurbish it
Lateef ◊ 2012-05-31 21:51	This guy sounds like me in a nutshell. Scorpio-fan and a rockabilly-fan at the same time, I thought I was the only one
Ingo ◊ 2012-05-31 21:54	So you also have a) no money, b) an Elvis-ish hair quiff and c) several tattoos
Lateef ◊ 2012-05-31 22:09	Wellllll, not exactly: a) enough money, b) a pompadour hairstyle (call it Elvis hairstyle if you want), c) no tatoos at all
Moscvich433 ◊ 2016-01-30 20:06	1994 by plate.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2016-08-23 17:34	Intro in October of 1994 - "model 95".
