Great story.I have waited a long time for this. In fact, we've waited a long time for this!!
2006 | I'd just fitted the 1700 x-flow engine that I built & took the Escort for a test drive down to Cheddar Gorge with Katie-May strapped in the front seat! Took this on my Fujifilm S9500 when I really was taking 'snapshots' & didn't really have a clue what I was doing - it was basically a digital camera to me back then for photos of the kids etc

In 2009 I fitted a 2.1 engine with a 5 speed gearbox. About 6 months later I took the car off the road as it was rotten...... Fast forward 6 years to 2015 & she was back on the road. I'd divorced in the meantime & swapped a few jobs & it wasn't until I was moving in with my girlfriend a few years back that I found the above 2006 photo (which is framed) & decided that one day, one day, I would drag us all out & we'd re-shoot that 'then' photo 'now' Well, that took a while for timing & finding the actual time itself & the weather to all play ball but on Sunday morning we managed it!!
14 years between the two images I'm so happy with this right now
