It had a stainless on it when I bought it. Never could work out what it was.

It's up for more than I paid for it in 2019 I think. Can't remember exactly what I gave for it. It's a shame about the problems. The body work was really good for its age when I had it, and I replaced 90% of the suspension. He's the third owner since I sold it though. The guy who bought it from...

It's had a new engine apparently, but has a few niggly issues that seem to have appeared since I had it. Shame about the front splitter too...

Few recent spots: New RS6 outside a dealer: F-150 Raptor: A really weird garage that had loads of random American junk: Old GMC: Ferrari 488:

That's lovely! Perfect spec in white with the Recaros, Speedlines and spoiler.

Really do need to go to this place.

Not at all. I'd change the wheels if it was mine, but I love it otherwise. Proper '80s cool.

At least he is open about it. I bet a lot aren't. Tommyfyeah, one of the American ones, has started getting loads of grief because he was doing shady deals with people.

Nice! Always liked the 16v Chamade. Must be so rare in the UK now.

All about saving money now. It's probably one of the better mags, but it has more "contributing editors" than it does pages. Seems like every every other hack is on the freelance payroll.

Looks interesting! Will check it out!

Daventry is a strange place to walk dogs. In my experience, about the only thing you can do in Daventry is get your hair cut. There must be about 10,000 hairdressers there.

Some nice stuff in there. However, people who "stance" cars like that Maserati, or the Escort Cosworth and Integrale, need to have their eyes removed with a rusty nail.

That looks lovely, though not sure I'd want the 2.0-litre bit personally. A friend of a friend had one and it's one of the scariest cars I've ever been in. It just felt like it was a bit too much for a little bean tin like that. Didn't help that he drove like an absolute nutcase either of course.

Saw some of her stuff on Top Gear. Switched it off almost immediately.There are better ways to look at boobs without having to listen to her drivel.

I always liked those Astras too. Needs a better plate and the badges removing from the bumper, but still a good looking car.

DeMuro has to be the most irritating man on the internet. His voice is infuriating. It's incredible watching a lot of these YouTubers though. As @dangerous dave says, they can turn two minutes of decent content into a 30-minute video. I stopped watching a lot of the stuff from the likes of Adam...

Beam is fine. Chassis leg above the spring seat will want attention sooner or later though. Not taking anything away from the car at all, but it wants a bit of a grind back to see how close it is to going through.

Great updates and still love this car. Sits lovely and the blue/white combo is brilliant. Think you need to have a look at that rear chassis rail though. Don't want that rust getting too bad.

How deep does it go? I know Ford have started multiple networks into their cars to stop people from accessing anything outside the stuff that has to be universal.

What happened?

I have a question for all the VAG experts out there. How similar is the diagnostic equipment across all the group brands? For example, if you buy a VW diagnostic unit (I'm talking pro workshop type stuff), would it work on Audi's and Seats? What about the likes of Porsche and Bentley? Or is it...

I can't say I know anyone that way. Might be worth trying a guy I follow on Instagram though, as he is quite involved in the car scene in the UAE. https://www.instagram.com/idriveatractor/

My mate did really well in targas in a bog standard 106 Quiksilver. Makes me laugh when people show up for them in fancy cars. My old Escort is used for targa rallies. Total overkill.

Looking forward to seeing how this comes together. In terms of modifying, I probably wouldn't do a lot until you've done an event or two. See what it's shortcomings are and go from there. I'm sure there will be some serious machinery doing road rallies on that side of the country.

The Senna has to be one of the ugliest cars ever made.

I think people eventually got the 1.6 CVH to well north of 300bhp. I seem to remember some claiming 350-odd, but they were serious, serious builds. Top speed record for a 1.6 RS Turbo got to just over 170mph I believe too. As someone said above, the problem with the Escort was always the...

Without doubt. I used to attend a lot of dealer training for Ford techs and they moaned endlessly about how s**t the cars were, but it's because they are exposed to the problems with them 40 hours a week. They don't notice the thousands of others that are driving about without issue. That being...

Great days. Think the FRST I drove was about 160bhp. A couple of friends had stage 1 Escorts and they were a riot. I went in Christian Major's S2, which was one of the ones regularly involved in the whole "thrash" thing run by Performance Ford mag. 160+mph in an RS Turbo was an eye opening...

Fiesta was the first RS I drove. Felt like a rocket at the time. Think it was about 2001 and it had the usual remap, exhaust etc. Both the Escort and Fiesta are definitely flawed, but they're an absolute riot I think.
