I see there's not much interest in these new fangled modern type things, why's that then?.

so 87's modern then :lol: i think they need less work so people ask less questions!!! :lol:
i'd say membership is 65/35 in favour of the mk1/2's but mk1/2 owners are easier to spot (buying on ebay) as time goes on i think the newer transits will overtake in site popularity!!!
But ill always stick with my mk1's :lol:

.............Or they will get thrown away cos the microchips go pop and they become 'not financially viable' to repair in the electronic sense. OR they will then get taken on and become proper custom motors!
Either way I agree with you Phil, not a lot of interest. Bear in mind age shouldn't be a measure of when people become fans, our stretch was modded in 1979 when she was a year old (brave bloke!). It just depends if people have the interest. On the subject of chips, if soembody wanted to chip a modern tranny, would anybody here be able to help? i wouldn't for one.
