Not so new to Scorpio's but new to here!

Hello Bonnietiler here..(that is...bonnie as in the motorcycle that I ride and Tiler as in the job that I do) I have had 3 previous Scorpio's so you's have thought that I'd have learnt by now...wouldn't you?
But this one came along and ..well...as Oscar Wilde said "I can resist everything apart from temptation"
A 2 owner 97 Black Scorpio Cosworth Estate with only 25,000 miles and full history (HOW could I refuse...I ask you!), now sits upon the drive, in Sunny Manchester so I'm certain that help will be required, as I said I've had them before!
Cheers
Brian (bonnietiler)

Hi Brian,

New members are always welcome. You'll find this site very informative, and the members - well,..... what can I say!

I joined last year and have learned so much about Granada Scorpios (mine's a Mkiii facelift - 1994 - Hatch). Have a good read of some of the escapades we get up to - the worklogs speak for themselves.

Once again, Welcome.

Cheers,
John

Didn't Bonnie Tyler sing 'It's a Heartache'... back in the 80's ?? Anyway, only 25K on a '97 plate ? Excellent ... and no 'ache' at all !

- and put some photos on the Gallery when you can.....

No Bonnie's at the moment..making do with this old clunker...
T160 Trident.
I've had bikes all my life..well from 16 anyway..not always British..I ran a Hinckley Rocket 111 for 3 years..went to Croatia on tour with it, I have a Triumph Tiger at present (newish). But my real love is the T160
