Hi! I'm Nick from West Sussex, now retired due to a stroke in 2013! 11 years on & after losing pretty much everything post stroke - Lost home, wife left for someone else etc etc......I lost mobility too for a while, but slowly learned to walk & talk again, my memories all returned slowly, all has been extraordinary to go through & come out much better than anyone expected!
I'm on my 3rd Cougar now after owning a couple of higher mileage examples. After the 1'st one I was hooked & absolutely sure that these were/are my favourite cars. Being older than I'd like to be, I just found that the 90's & early 00's era of all cars esp coupe's are my favourite era of cars in general!
Anyway, Spring 2023 I find myself with enough money to buy a really nice Cougar.....The hunt didn't take too long & I was soon the owner of a 2001 low mileage example in my favourite metallic silver colour! 37.000 miles from new & really well cared for.....After a set of new wheels & tyres were purchased, off it went to a local paint shop to get every imperfection dealt with, I had at last, a Cougar to last me well into the future! She is garaged a lot of the time including autumn/winter - I use my old X-Type to ferry myself & my large dog around! Would love to go to some South East shows if there are any next year. I can do long distance but due to my limited ability to stand for too long, the nearer the better!
Unfortunately, at the moment she has the failed alternator scenario, new battery & Ford wiring mod performed, she gets a new alt in a matter of days when my man can fit in replacing it! New battery fitted & it still drains when left for a couple of days! I hope & pray that that is all the problem is.....
Here are a few shots! I will post my older ones in due course - I have loads of images of all 3!!
