Well I've made the call. At first they said "We'd have let you know if their were any" and "if you ticked no upgrades we wouldn't have called". So I said that I didn't mean free automatic upgrades, but that my mate (yeh, I lied again) was just offered a bargain paid one. And she said "I'll pass your details on to the person who handles cheap upgrades". So we'll wait and see. Interestingly she also said "you have more chance if you book through a personal cruise advisor". We used to do that but he left, so we've now signed up with her instead.

Call me naive but I never knew you could do that !

At least mentioning my name opens doors - Merv just drops you in it !!

Which are then quickly slammed shut and bolted once they've confirmed who you are. But your right about Merv dropping me in it. Typical of a Mondeo driver

[qbman1]

Bet he had a Capri too !

That's still my dream car - a Mk 1 2-litre GT XLR Capri... if only they weren't such rust buckets

[qbman1]

Nice lines - a friend had one back in the day. I kept hitting my head on the roof though !

Don't worry Stephen. She said you could still have your original cabin

Mk1 Escort. Could never affort a Crapi

[qbman1]

A series of MkII Escorts for me (after I drove the Ford Anglia into a stream, that is) !

The 2.8 Ghia was a good'n too

The Mexico and RS2000 were the kiddies

[Mervyn and Trish]

Okay. Enough of the speculation. Here it is. The deluxe model.

Argh, the good old MK2 Cortina in metallic gold

[Mervyn and Trish]

The Ghia estate no less

[qbman1]

Boy racers, the lot of you !

I cut my teeth on a couple of Corsairs.

I note we were all Ford men...

[Mervyn and Trish]

Model T was it Shiney?

[Stephen]

Just had a Google. Have you seen the price these old dears go for now.

They were cheap and cheerful and easy to maintain. But yes, rust buckets.

The £2950 rally car's not looking too good. One careful owner?

A little work to be done.

Brought to mind an old schoolboy joke - but discretion being the better part and all that, I decided to keep it to myself (or my post count might reduce even more !!)

[Mervyn and Trish]

Go on, go for it. None of the Modplods are looking.
