SO many attractive female athletes as well as performers and models during the ceremony, I personally didn't think Jessie J was anything special by comparison. Fantastic voice though.

Can I just take this opportunity to remind all and sundry what a rubbish car the Ford Corsair was? Styled like a boat it boasted the V4 engine, without a doubt the worst piston engine that Ford, and possibly anyone else, has ever put into production. Any V4 with more than 20,000 miles sounded like it was going to explode at any minute and the mechanical cacophany was accompanied by the most sluggish performance. NSO Ro 80's had their awful wankels replaced as they were a good car - Corsairs went to the scrapper!
What a lot of drivel! Why if so awful did it have a production run longer than any other Ford of the time? Anglia/Escort two Zephyrs three Cortinas. As for rubbish engines most peoples memories stem from some poor old Transit that a mate lent them to move with that had never had a service in its life. Why are Lotus Cortinas held in such high regard when they loose water out of their water pumps, oil out of all their seals and an axle that failed? We have Corsairs in the club that have covered 200 thou miles with no problems. Its was never intended as a racing car, treat it as such. AND as for the analagy with RO80's then look at what they replaced the wankel with... oh yes Ford V4's check out Hurley Motor Engineers (I bought their remaining stock of unused Ford V4's some years back. And as a last item we were the only make of car that was ASKED to take part. Paul Watts Corsair Club Editor/PRO
The Corsair and Crayford Corsairs were a great choice for the closing ceremony , a real piece of 60s Ford history that people remember and the Crayford was just a great looking conversion that really suited the car and added a whole new dimension to an everyday car of the time and as it has been said the only ones INVITED , the games ceremony organisers may well have been at the Revival meeting last year to realise all this.
