BG 182 and my other old toy

[Steven r]

As requested in another thread here's some pics of my car that I recently sold.I know it's not a Clio but they come in a minute :rasp:

Beautiful car IMO and as a life long Ford fan one of the best,it's just a pity about the reliability issues these cars have,really takes the fun out of ownership along with the cost of parts these days.

So it was time for another Clio after I stupidly got rid of this one a couple of years ago.

This is my XR3 that I sold in order to buy the RS16i.Should have kept these 2.

Just realised I don't have any photos of the titanium 182 that I've just got,need to get little brother on the case,think he's got some.

If this would be better in another section can someone move it please,couldn't see anything though

as a huge fan of mk3 escorts but also an owner of a 172, I just want to say: you're an idiot for selling them!!!! they looked like true minters!!!
especially the 1.6

Just perfection. God Fords are awesome. Mars Red for me probably.

Yeah thanks for that.

They're old cars that very costly to run properly with the correct parts.That 16i in particular had a few issues that annoyed me the whole time I had it.It was time to let go of the old Ford scene for a while,they b**ch like nothing on earth over the least little thing that isn't right on your car.

I could have stuck it in a shed and left it for a few years but it would just deteriorate over time and be worth nothing anyway,the other option was break it,they make more money that way but that's not my kind of thing.

If I wanted it there's the option to buy it back I'm sure but I've had one now,don't think I want to down that road again to be honest.

My mate has a 2wd Sapphire Cosworth tucked away that I'm sure he would sell when I want to step back into the Ford scene,that's the only way I'll be going back into it now.Apart from the diesel Mondeo we have of course.

Cars look lovely. You can't beat a mk3. Does look very tidy.

 

[M.C..]

they look good but give me a mk1 or mk2 anyday especially with a BDA

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Oh wow! that RS1600i, word's cannot decscribe how much i love them!

the difference is that here in belgium, we don't have a huge ford scene so while I would love an mk3, there are only a few here so...
only ever seen one xr3 and 1600i over here...

Yes they're very rare over there,I was reading about a restored series 1 turbo that maybe for sale on the RSOC,one of very few that was originally registered and still resides in Belgium.

The 16i is a rare car over here too but there's always one or two for sale,they're a very unique car although some people think they're just an XR3i with a big spoiler.
