Looked a great show and the blue Mk4 xr3i cabriolet really pops....after all day on your feet I dont envy your long drive home though........bet you was out like a light when your head hit the pillow.

Thanks for the comment. It was a great weekend but I was knackered. Home by 22:30 and sound asleep shortly after! 😂 Thanks for watching the video, I appreciate it.

Lovely car, really a fan of those, what fuel do you put in the Sierra and XR3I out of curiosity? Im using E5 in my Xr3i but some others are saying E10 if ok for it.

@cornishcarcollectors 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment and sharing your thoughts on the Sierra, I love the car! I always use premium fuel in my car, so E5 always at a minimum. Thanks for watching. 👍

It could just be the angle I’m watching it or because of how it was recorded but as you drove off your front passenger side alloy looked very much to be at a negative camber, obviously I could be mistaken but I wouldn’t want anything to happen to the car and to not have mentioned it. Great great video anyway 👍🏻👍🏻

@cornishcarcollectors 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate you sharing your observation. I think the wheel is all good and it’s the angle, but I will check. Thanks for watching. 👍

I have a set of new rear lights for that car if you are interested or in need of

@cornishcarcollectors 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment. Thanks also for the offer of a set of rear lights. I’ve currently no need for rear lights and try not to stockpile parts as there could be someone out there who needs them. I really appreciate the offer. Thanks you for watching. 👍

Ideal Ford classic to do a long Motorway trip. Interesting to see the show from the otherside.

Thanks for the comment. The drive up in the Sierra was just as it would have been in the 90s, the car drives so well… albeit you do feel small on the road thanks to tue oversize modern cars. Glad you enjoyed seeing the show behind the scenes. Thanks for watching.

What happened with the cooling fan on the Sierra ?

@cornishcarcollectors 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment. The fault corrected itself, suggesting to me something got damp. Now that the Sierra is home I will be looking into it a little more to see if I can find the issue. It is the first time it's ever done it so hoping I can find something, otherwise it is waiting for the problem to return! Thanks for watching the video.

Thanks for the comment. If you get the chance to put a car into the NEC then go for it; great experience and fun… I spent three days lost in classic cars, chatting to likeminded enthusiasts and time with my Sierra. Thanks for watching.
