What are you thinking of getting next?
I was looking at mk2 focus RS’s but I’ve bought my sons 182 after he got a meg 250. We also have another two cars in the household which are shared between my wife, daughter and me.

I’m thinking of getting a rental property in the next year or so, so my next expensive weekend car maybe a while off.
 
I drove a MK3 focus rs last year, I found it very linear and sanitised. Bought a Clio 172 last weekend, going to use it for track days and could be my daily driver too

Been looking at Mk1 Focus RS’s recently.

Might seriously have a look before the prices go really silly.

^^^That's not a ford colour is it.?
I spotted an escort cosworth a couple of weeks ago and I was surprised how small it was amongst today's modern cars.

Picked this up a month or so ago:

MK6 FIesta ST Mountune MR200

This is how they should have been produced from factory, but obviously they were restricted for various reasons. Good value now aswell if one pops up for sale.

The MR200 kit is 1 of 75 and produces 205bhp (150BHP standard). Installed at Mountune HQ. I am lead to believe there are actually less than 75 in cirucaltion due to original casting issues when produced.
Kit included: CAIS, Full exhaust system with sports cat, piper cams, valve springs, and the i4 cast inlet with 60mm throttle body.

**dont hate the engine bay, it will be changing :ROFLMAO:

They go for silly money now. I know some are bringing them in from South Africa for cheap, and no rust and then rebuilding them as they have value in. Would love one one day but ford tax!
 
I've seen a Pumaspeed wide arched Fiesta knocking around. It kind of looks like this car, but blue with a couple of white stripes down the side. It's kind of funky, but kind of s**t at the same time!

I also saw a J Reg burgundy Mk5 Escort convertible last night on Escort GTI five spokes with a big exhaust too. It was a 90's time warp car, and yes it did go bwaarppp!! I like it!
 
Not my cossie as it's still in hibernation, but still a RS 🙂

I saw a blue Mk3 Focus RS on Friday night with a stripe or some s**t across the bonnet. He also had a colour coded roof box on it, also with a matching stripe. He looked like a f**king twonk!! Still, I bet all of his gel badge mates w**k him off for it!

It was probably a 1.6 DCi with a stolen bodykit.
 
Thanks for the compliments 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼😂😂😂😂
 
I was watching Bangers & Cash last night, a bloke had a Mk2 RS2000 in beige that had been in his garage for twenty odd years and it needed a full resto, and half of the engine was missing. The bloke who bought it had owned 72 RS2000's! He also had the same car (in beige) in storage in un-touched condition, he wanted the other one to drive!

I watched that last night, I just don't understand owners like that, restore a car to such an immaculate condition that you dare not drive it incase it gets scratched or dirty, so you buy another one so you can drive that, seems mental to me.

I know people take pride in their cars and the work they've put in, but to me it's like not banging your misses because she's too fit.

So you get another bird on the side.... 🤔 Maybe that's how affairs started haha.
 
I watched these couple of videos over the weekend. I've heard of the bloke before, but didn't know he'd given up breaking them and gone into building RS500 race cars. The bloke who visits him has a lot of Ford videos on so I'll watch a few more. His white Cossie is nice!!

You can ignore most of the bloke before he gets there etc. I love me an RS500 race car!!

watch a few videos about that guy before, he's living my dream. I love 3-doors and RS500's.

I had a couple of 1.6 3-doors back in the day with the intentions of building some form of replica, however I got my girlfriend pregnant and had to buy a house instead 😂

I vaguely recall the story being he bought it from his Father who'd owned it from new...
