RE: SOTW: Ford Probe

Disagree, expecting Probe content and got a real bum deal on opening this thread.

I always didnt mind these, not really that different to its contemporaries in terms of show vs go, the Gareth Cheesman link is a bonus as well, "Dearth of a Salesman" was classic Coogan, he really needs more of that nowadays.

Wheels too small , body drawn by a seven year old.

Is the guard dog for sale

I'm a fan of them, great looking but definitely more of a GT than a sports car. The KLDE engines in them love a bit of boost too, they make some impressive figures on stock internals.

Oh, and Anal Brat.

not a big fan of them tbh.

but i believe most parts i.e complete brake setup will retrofit most fords before and after this model, so as someone who is looking to get a decent brake conversion done on the rear of my (drummed) focus it may be worth picking up, using it for bits i want/need then either breaking it and scrapping the rest.
been looking at 'decent' setups for conversions for my 2000 Focus and just the complete rear axle it hitting £400.



also has this thread really descended into 12 pages of Anal jokes!?

well done fellow PHers!

The PCD is completely alien to any other Ford being 5X114 so not really suitable donor.

And most of all James Bond's Aston Martin DB5...

Strangely the Ford Probe never really came into it but I did have a soft spot for the Capri 3.0S.

Certainly not then. Certainly not now.

What are talking about?? Go and have a lie down you silly person. The Probe should be consigned to the annals of history (didyouseewhatIdidthere)

Pity it wasn't makes rather than models.

Anal Triumph would be good

ah forgot about the db7 the thing is I know its a ste car, but just something about it when I see it i get a wee bit excited your normal non super-car doesnt do that for me.

Better looking than most Fords in its day and on the face of it a good car for the money.

[blearyeyedboy]

Are all these Anal cars in fashionable metallic brown?

(TVR) Anal Speed Six?

I had one in the 90s. Quick enough in a straight line, but shiny leather meant I'd slide off the seat during enthusiastic cornering. Also had every switch labelled as I recall - you'd have to pretty special to not realise what the window winder was without it being named.

All in all though, good car apart from the name. Definitely a worthwhile shed from my viewpoint.

Oh, and to get back on track, anal carnival (if it hasn't been...)

[renorti]

think i'd get a cougar for same money.they look better.
