Sold it and it was towed away today.

Massively mixed emotions. Happy to be able to look for a rally car, sad to see it leave.

Goodbye redheaded girlfriend

If it weren’t for catching the Rally bug I wouldn’t have sold it. Loved that car.

Hoping to keep the car 91 or older so I can still do a “historic” plate on it. So it’ll be a bit less old, but certainly not brand new.

Time for an MG Montego Turbo?

No...no....no thank you.

I’d love to get an 80s Mercury Capri. I’ll soon change my name to MercuryMan562.

So what kind of man will you be now? :(

Find a Montego in worse shape for cheap. Rally Montego has a nice ring to it.

Nah, they’re way too big, and unibody with no convenient way to stiffen the body. No way it would be functional as a rally car.

Ah, gotcha. Anything you have in mind, then?

Doesn’t have the same ring to it.

True. I could always leave it as MontegoMan. I kinda what a fox Mercury Capri, CapriMan doesn’t sound any better lol

I’m thinking fox body, preferably of the Mercury Capri variety.

In a completely opposite direction, a Ford Probe.

I vote for staying MontegoMan. It fits you.

That’s always tough.

I took possession of my rally car today. Spent the day helping XJDano swap the transmission in it.

My buddy FryGuy decided to do some bodywork while we were at it.

Awesome man I’m so happy for you that you got a rally car. I can’t wait to get my hands on a rally car.

Bummed the Fox trade didn’t go through, but if you can find a Capri that’s even better.

Oh yeah, I’ve got my eye on 3 that are for sale. It would be nice if any of them were actually near by, but let’s hope when the CL posters say “runs great” it really does. I may even be taking a 4 hour road trip to buy one on saturday.

Hahaha, yeah it does suck because this guy worked me down to basically the OPPO discount. As they say, cash talks though. I would’ve much preferred it went to an OPPO (or close friend of)

Didja ask him to send pictures and what not? When Dad sold our ‘63 Fairlane, I made sure to keep in contact with the man who bought it.

Nah, didn’t seem like the type. I know he’ll be at certain events with it in the future so I can always try to hunt it down and see how it goes.
