Re: My orion
Wouldn't be where I pull up to a stop to take pictures, on a slip road exit off a dual carriageway.
Still, the pic turned out well. Front nearside arch looks a tad tusty.
I've been in an Orion once, years ago, really bouncy suspension, but comfy seats. The guy driving it took us down Matchams Lane, over the dips, front wheels lifted off at one point. I always preferred them to the escorts because of the extended rear section. That's just me. I like bigger cars. Big and sensible of course.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Re: My orion
Oh right fair enough. Just looked like a hard shoulder to me. I was thinking, not the safest of all places to pull up I guess you restored it since then.
