I suppose this goes in here, my brother-in-law has a Focus RS for the next couple of days through work. He took me out for a quick blast in it, it's pretty rapid and sounds nice too (I couldn't drive due to the insurance:disappointed:). Nice meaty Brembos.

Epic car! It would look better with the badge back on the grille imho.

That commentary was awful, interesting race though.

Why would someone do that to an S1 Esprit?! :weary:

It's got a kind of hatchback, they have a literal hatch in the back.

There's a Montego Turbo on eBay at the moment. Same car underneath but more were produced and it is a saloon obviously. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1989-MG-MONTEGO-TURBO-RED-2-OWNERS-SAME-FAMILY-PRIVATE-PLATE-/152034268354?hash=item2365f2d4c2:g:pywAAOSw~OdVdqu3

If you're gonna look at quick Metros you should at least look at the best one.

No, the chassis was just very very badly designed. :laughing:

The thing is, despite it having a s**t chassis, sagging headlining, no parts available etc I would have another if I would trust it to actually keep going. It eventually kept cutting out at traffic lights etc so I part-exed it for a Ford Puma, just in case that counts as an old skool hatch...

Needs gullwing doors and funky graphics. :wink: Nearest I've gotten to driving a muscle car is when I rented this V6 Camaro when I visited a mate in Phoenix.

My first car, an MG Maestro 2.0i. It had a 8 valve 2.0 engine with 115bhp, it was geared for acceleration though as 0-60 is around 8.5 seconds. It torque steered like a b**ch though, man that chassis was bad, I can't imagine how much of a pig the Maestro Turbo is to drive! It had the Maestro...

Nice, I bet these will start really appreciating in value soon.

Looks spot on that, I've always liked those.

White, blue stripes, silver wheels please.

Those Arabs in London are taking it too far now with their hyper-car one-upmanship! :smile:

Ooft that's beautiful, you never see mk1 or mk2 astras about anymore. My dad had a white mk2 GTE at one point, I always loved the digital dash, it reminded me of Knight Rider.

Beetle based kit cars, Nova I think?

I had a poster of that on my wall as a youth.

Is that pink Escort the Max Power project car?

Now I'm not a big city detective or anything but it looks like it's been in an accident.

I love the Lotus Carlton & mk 1 Esprit, I'd have both in my lottery dream garage.

Ecto 1 is a 1959 Cadillac ambulance and bears very little resemblance to the car above. :wink:

Plymouth Fury wagon, probably seats around 8/9 people.

For the top banter innit. :wink: I was considering getting a Clio to replace the Smart and @RSteve said I should ask for opinions on here so it's his fault. (I ended up with a Fiesta)

Then Now

I want that Escort, even though it's a 1300 auto and it'd be quicker to walk.

I went to pick my brother up from work today, he works in a Porsche dealership so I snapped a couple of piss poor pics of the 918s they have in at the moment. He said the black one has just sold for £1.25M and the white one is on sale for £1.4M. The pics are crap as they are right next to the...

My dad used to have a Sunbeam when I was a kid, his was a Chrysler though from before they became Talbot.

That RS Turbo estate is brilliant, I need it in my life!
