Some would probably say "old bangers and old farts together pass away " or worse. Wait until EV's become mainstream and watch all these forums sadly vanish.
That'd be a pretty fair assessment I'd say.

fordcortina was a niche site and hadn't had a post since August last year. Much the same with the Mk1 Cortina site which was also pulled down recently. That was a blow, it had a bit of info on the GT500's which is hard to come by.

I guess the old saying 'Use it or loose it' still rings true
