My Ford geek couldn't help but notice the late Rod Tarry's Sierra. What a weapon.

MA Developments?

I think a lot of the problem is that people get into a car like that and expect it to drive like an Evo VIII or something else much newer. Like any old car, you just have to adjust your expectations and remember when it was built. I'd still 100% have one.

Mmmmm metallic beige.

It's the front wings that really ruin it for me. The lines around the vent thing behind the wheel are so badly resolved it's almost funny. Viewed directly from the rear is genuinely the only inoffensive way to look at it. There is so much wrong at the front and sides.

No it doesn't really. A mate has offered to sell it for me, but even that's a pain, as he doesn't have access to the paperwork!

Hyundai Veloster N. Quite liked it apart from the asymmetric door thing. Not as nice as the i30, but still quite cool. Surprisingly roomy inside too.

I'd probably go for a swap of some sort, but timing might be the issue :(

Wheels are for sale, but come with an RB197 attached :LOL:

This thread makes me a bit sad now, as mine will be up for sale soon :(

I like the Fiesta, though think it would have looked better if the roof/spoiler was body colour. Cool little car though.

Lovely job that. Remember one of my Escorts had this treatment and it made such a difference. Can't believe how tiny the amp is!

That's fair enough but, if the new dash doesn't solve the issues, I'd be wanting that money right back from them, and I'd want it confirmed before you pay for it. Would be a proper PITA if you buy a new one and it goes wrong immediately!

Always liked the Calibra. Really good looking car at the time.

This. My old rally car had an SPA tacho/speedo in it. Worked really well and was nice and simple.

I wouldn't dismantle the car when you're so close, but I think I would be considering other dash options to be honest, as this has been a bit ridiculous to be honest.

You can keep the Trophy, I'd take a good Cup over one all day long.

Yeah pretty standard stuff in that era. Bet the rack is mega money...

Outwardly rolled exhausts are so cool.

Would that fit on the K4M or whatever engine these used? I'm surprised they didn't sack off the hydraulic system and go electric really. One less fluid to worry about.

These are better than the earlier ones aren't they?

I can't believe they were still making them in 1993. Mental.

I think these are a better looking car than the 740/940. A bit more character to them. I can imagine it's even worse to drive though, which probably isn't good lol. Is it just another quick flip like the last one?

Honda are launching a Sportline version of the Type-R, which doesn't look quite so mental as the regular one, so that might be worth considering. You'd have to buy new though obviously.

The problem for me is that I would vomit every time I stepped into the Merc. The interior is absolutely minging in my view. Current Mercs are far too blinging and tacky looking for my tastes. My missus had a previous gen CLA and it felt pretty cheap inside, especially the dash vents etc. Not...

A Yaris won't have holes in it like that.

I don't remember seeing a dog :LOL: He has some lovely stuff in his workshop too. Mondeo was my favourite though.

Standard Cup probably. Most aftermarket springs are too stiff for a road car and, if it's just an occasional track toy, you won't have any less fun in a standard car. Unless you particularly want it lower, I probably wouldn't bother with aftermarket stuff unless you only use it on decent roads.

Don't see many of those anymore! Is he still using it commercially, or is it just a showpiece?

Yeah. It was based around the Mazda V6 used in the Probe and MX-6 I think, as you could use any engine from the group at the time. Apparently it was completely reengineered though, and the heads were ridiculously heavily modified. That's what a £10m annual budget does for you though :ROFLMAO:
