Your bank account would prefer it, it's as fast as yours but does upper 30s mpg combined. It was reading 22mpg when he took me for a quick spin in it though. :S

No sorry he's a salesman at Benfield so they let him bring it home to show off. He said that today they had about 7 people come in to test drive it, all 17/18 year old oiks with no intention of buying one. :D

Alright just for you Steve (even though they aren't that good). My brother in law brought home the new Focus ST they just got at Benfield. It's very nice, wish I could afford one but they are a bit beyond my budget. Maybe in a few years. I don't think I'll bother with that Metal badge and...

Yeah I am aware that the ford logo is a blue oval, I have simply altered the colour scheme of the badge slightly to better fit with the look of my car. I wouldn't dream of putting a badge with any other logo on in it's place. For example when I had my Puma I put black badges on that but there...

I got some black Ford badges from DMB Graphics a few days ago so I stuck em on today. They are a gel badge that sticks over the top of the existing badge, they look quite factory once stuck on and are a nice little subtle touch to match the white/black theme on the car. Front. Rear. I am...

I'm not a fan of them to be honest, they look a bit too big & slab sided to me. The 19" Lightning wheels as fitted to the Mugen Type R however.

It's alright but with them cart wheels on it must have been a bit unsteady on the uneven country roads as I kept leaving him behind on Snake Pass. :race:

I took a trip down to the Snake Pass with my mate driving his Civic Type R down too. We stopped at Holme Moss just nexct to the transmitting station to take a couple of snaps so I thought I would stick em up here.

Anything looks good in JPS colours.

They never made a mk2 cabriolet? :S

911? It's just a posh Beetle. ;)

Me too especially when you consider that at that time everyone else made cars that looked like this. Also I read the title as 'cat p**n' at first...

I always fancied getting one of these and as the mk4 Escort is really just a facelifted mk3 make it look like this.

I always liked the look of the ZT in that colour, I'd have the Mustang engined V8 model myself. There was one when I went to the BTCC at Croft a couple of years ago and it sounded great.

I'd also like a Trabant estate, maybe swap the standard 2 stroke engine for something a bit more spicy.

For me it would be a mint Montego Turbo. Or a mint MG Metro (I like crappy old BL stuff).

One of many? How many beards can one person own? ;)

A lot of freeways are moving to 70mph now and in some states they are 80mph. You briefly see through the window of the shitvic and it looks like a couple of beaners on their way to a meth deal.

It seems like every other person has a Clio where I work, there is only 2 other Fiesta mk7's though. I have never seen another Metal on the road but I do see loads of Fiestas, All I do is think "my car's better than yours" :D

It's the fastest car I have owned so it'll do me, I imagine I would be a bit disappointed if i had previously owned an RS Clio too to be fair. As I say if I can justify it I might get the ST next year. Nom!

Exactly, it's more like the previous generation hot hatches. Just enough power to be fun with great handling, it reminds me a lot of my old Puma. The ST should be pretty good though, especially after a remap to boost the power a bit. ;)

Didn't want to pay royalties to Daft Punk so they got someone to do music that sounds just like something from their Tron Legacy score?

It would look better with headlights that are less obvious what car they are from, like the 300ZX headlamps on the later Lambo Diablos.

Yeah although in the bit of the intro where he jumps in front of a 911 the front wheels have some very odd camber after he lands. The General Lee was really bad for that, they wrecked tons during the making of the show.

Really mine does quite a bit, at least I'm assuming it dims it might just be the privacy glass that is so dark it looks like it's dimmed? Plus the mirror dims so you can see the LCD screen for the reversing camera. If it had black wheels it was a Metal, also if it was any colour other than...

If I could have a TV car I would want something a bit more different than a KITT, General Lee, DeLorean etc and get one of these. I used to love The Fall Guy, one of the greatest themes on TV too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp6oUs50Sn4&feature=related

Yeah it might be a bit distracting otherwise. The little yellow box shows the space the car takes up. It's quite good as you get the camera, sensors, auto dimming rear view mirror and auto wipers & headlamps all as part of the pack.

Just thought I would stick up a couple of pics I took today. Shorter eBay special aerial. Here's a pic of the screen for the reversing camera. Rather than put it in the dash it's in the rear view mirror. Quite a cool little touch I think. I might attempt to de-tango the rear lights over the...

No probs! The headlight is held in with a clip at the bottom which can be pretty stiff, it feels like you are pulling too hard.
