Love it!!! Just been looking at them for sale, they are shooting up in price! Not as much as 3-door Mk1s though!
 
Prices are going up. I don't think they will ever be worth as much as the 3dr. Plan was to get an escort cosworth but we are moving now so that's on the back burner for a while. Glad you like.
 
One of my all time favourite cars, especially in that combination! I'm a huge Ford fan, especially if it has a Cosworth badge on it (Scorpio being the exception!!)
 
The other car is a Ford, Grand C Max.

The wife chose it. It's her car, not mine!

I used to keep a bike for my personal bit of fun, but haven't had one for the past couple of years.

We change cars every 4 years, and I've promised myself I will lend a hand in choosing the next car. I HATE driving that people carrier, so much.

Get a high powered estate. I REALLY don't see the advantage of people carriers over a car with a decent boot.
 
I will mate, if I can afford one. For the past 3 cars, we've financed and traded in at the balloon payment and then got another Ford. But as we've had kids, the cars have got less and less interesting.

This current car is 2 years old. So 2 more years to go. There is nothing nice about driving it....seriously not one thing. Well the air con is nice in the summer. There I found 1 thing.

Ah yeah, that's how they get you! I got my last car on lease, 2 years then got rid, would do it again.
 
Yeah, I will lease my next one I think. I've been in the trap for a good while now.

To be perfectly honest I was thinking about getting a pimp, black range rover sport. They fall out of bed second hand, and you can get a really nice one for the same money as I paid for the Ford, but about 3 years old.

I know people hate em, but I quite enjoy driving like an A hole.
 
That's what everyone say's Leo, and no doubt you are right.

It's all a pipe dream anyway. The wife will probably end up talking me into something even worse than the people carrier. I'll be driving an electric car next, with a photo of a Range Rover under the sun visor.
 
Mate of mine had one, tattooist. Loads of disposable income, he traded it for a 335d.
 
I wish I had loads of disposable income...I haven't checked my Euro Millions lottery ticket yet.

If I've won, I'm buying a Ferrari and a helicopter....and a boat, a big one!!

Didn't we all! Fast cars, fast girls & fast money!

Now it's slow vans, slow girls & slow money!

Great huh?!?
 
Some of my old motors (I'm 32 now), plenty more but these are some of the best!

I've got my commercial, but I don't use it. My work van is provided to me, a Dispatch.

My car used to be a Renault Sport Clio 197 (hence the username) but I now have a Mazda 3 MPS and a Peugeot 307 HDi for the missus to get about in.

I've had a 182 and a 200. Awesome cars.

Would have had a 6 MPS too if they did them as estates, really like the mazdas. You got the aero kit on yours?
 
Anyone ever go to york drag strip you can take your own car on there for about £25.00- 30.00 as long as you have an helmut. See some good cars in the summer.
 
I go tithe Shakespeare county race way. Some immense cars and some cracking sleepers.
 
My toy is a 1992 Impreza Type-RA lightweight that's been a little bit fiddled with...

I love it to bits on the twisty stuff, but the really, really short ratio gearbox is a swine on main roads! 4200rpm at 70mph makes for a boring motorway journey!!
On twisty stuff it is absolutely savage!

Saying that, I've only driven it 5 times in the last year!! :(

I do like these very much! Some nice examples on the boat when my R32 came over.
