The Contour was based on the European Ford Mondeo; it's 100% UK Ford

Right, that was why it was so easy to put together with Mondeo panels cheaply available in UK.

Oh no!! I can hear it screaming DRIVE ME! is that a Black Widow replica? I have the die-cast version of that lol

Oh, all our Mustang friends say that. But if I don't have time to drive the '89, I sure don't have time for that one. And the Maverick has taken over alot of my driving time. Yes, I've had the Black Widow mini (and a half dozen 1970 Honda Trail 70's) that I thought some of my children would like. So far not much interest.

If I take an extremely rational look at potential hobby vehicles since getting my Maverick, there's nothing worth less than dozens of thousands that would be better handling and faster in stock form on the street, there's nothing that would be worth it for tootling around and getting better mileage, and I don't want a brodozer sitting around for the once in every three years I'll want to tow more than 4000. So I get you saying that.

Which leads my rational passions to think I either want something to do unusual mods to, or something that's an all out autocross/track machine (Se7en etc) or something really old and idiosyncratic like pre-war ,1945 and older, they're getting relatively "cheap" these days, everyone that had one as a kid is leaving us.

Back in the 90's, I bought a Mercury Mystique for my then wife...both the car and her are now gone. I remember the Mercury fondly though....

Sorry, I still can’t figure out the search icon on my iPhone, was going to post it along with that thread, but… Anyway got it ready to store it for winter in garage. 80 Z-28, special order latter half of 79, waited 9 months (sounds like Maverick’s for some). Getting harder and harder to get in and out of, that’s why I drive the Mav more! Time to sell!
