Yes seriously!!!!!!!! lol. Ford intended on selling what 500pumas in the UK, they only managed to sell half that! because nobody wanted to pay 23k! 23k!!! For a Puma! Don't be so blinkered gally! The FRP (Whilst nice) was an utter flop!
Give it a few years!! Fords rust worse than Renaults!
Both have s**t interiors tbh! At least the blue in the willy isn't glaring!
Evo 5 RS
I'm gonna be a troll and say that's not always a bad thing! The Corrado was massively overpriced and nobody bought that. Still an awesome piece of s**t! Desirable too if you find a good un'
(and it's also on Car-magazines top cars to drive before you die
)P.S at least you can safely say the Racing Puma is more desirable than the Probe:rasp:
back on topic.

Of course it was a flop! It was 23k ffs!
They were never ever gona sell! But they went all out they spent way too much on it, Research, development and making the thing, is that such a bad thing?
Craig the thing is when I say something to back up my points i'm blinkered. The truth is i'm anything but. I gave my opinion on the Williams. He brought the Puma into the convo.

i hear you, que the 28k Clio V6 comments...but at least renault sold them all! Easily!
Comparing the willy to the FRP is silly. The willy is a part of heritage! Consistantly named as one of the best hot hatches made...And i'm far from being biased, as i didn't even rate it!
Never driven the FRP, but i also have no desire to do so! it's like an Atom, i can see the appeal for 10sec but i wouldn't want one.
SC Ph1 172 and M140i
Rusty arches fair point, mine hasn't (anymore
), but the interior I have to disagree I love the interior especially the seats they are so comfy and I have yet to meet a person that hasn't got into my car and gone mmmmm as they have sunk their butt into the seat. The blue bits make it and of course the all important plaque I appreciate I am a little biased but I love lots of cars, mainly Renault I grant you, but I can appreciate lots of cars for lots of different reasons even your Puma gally

No rusty arches on a puma? You blind lol. Loads I've seen have it. Ford are famous for rusty arches lol. And don't they have a not so nice fiesta interior?
182 Trophy
Williams and 205's may be great to chuck around but they're both sheds! Some are nicely polished and waxed sheds but sheds none-the-less.
Not everyone wants a shed. We're not all the same.

Sorry but this makes no sense what so ever. What makes any car a shed if they are running, well kept and rust free. I don't understand your logic?
182 Trophy
The looks. They're both dated.

182 Trophy
Like a well kept, rust free Nissan Bluebird or a Peugeot 405 would be classed as a shed too. They belong in the '90s, not in 2010. I guess they're alright as a budget track toy though but that's about it for me.
182 Trophy
Surprising that for a car that will be 18 this year
Yes, both dated beyond = sheds
182 Trophy
As you can tell, I'm not one for classics. Give me the latest and greatest.
182 Trophy
From the OP' choises, best drivers cars are the 172Cup and Trophy.
SC Ph1 172 and M140i
and latest and the greatest.
You best get looking for a new car based on your logic then

Waiting for the final incarnation of the Clio 3.
182 Trophy
Some like classics, some prefer the latest. Not just with cars. Both have there + and -.
Imo classics belong in museums. I say it again, we're not all the same.

You're saying the racing puma looks dated?
I'd say if anything the general puma shape is still pretty modern. The car is ten years old now though.

OH MY GOD SHUT UP.
182 Trophy
Lol I never mentioned the Puma. I ment the 205 and Williams. I like the Puma look although it's got a bit of a *girls car* image due to most being driven by women and old ladies. If I didn't always see women driving it, then I would've actually bought one as a second car instead of my Polo as I like Fords and I hear they're good handlers. Anyway I hope there's no more talk about 205s, Williams or Pumas in this thread now.
Having had a read of this yesterday i went out in a mates puma and then a williams today, i can say persoanlly i had just as much fun in the willy as i did the puma, the puma isnt exactly a quick car, but speed doesnt = Fun imo... I will agress with most the Mk1 shape is old and dated but still looks great the puma be it a big fiesta still has alot of road presance, not quite as much as the FRP mind.. One thing that annoyed me about the puma, you cant see F*ck all out of the back window..
Thats my small amount on input, dont want to clog the thread up with shite.
Iv changed my mind too.. It had to be the Ph1, clable throttle no delay in throttle response , slightly lighter and much meaner looking front end :rasp:

I could've sworn we were in 2011! On your basis what would that make things like an etype, sheds lol? Your clearly missing the point of what makes a good classic.....
+1 and i think it was edd's? Black with red f1's? looked the mutts nuts
182 Trophy
Sure some like a good old classic and nothing wrong with that. I can fully understand people going for classics but if I had to choose, I'd still prefer an XKR coupe or whatever they are. To me, the E Type belongs in a Museum. I go on watch forums abit and there are many who prefer vintage and others who like the latest stuff. It's just what I prefer. Oh and I mean 2011 lol.
Tbh I think the Mk2 Clio is getting on a bit too now next to Mk3s, Type Rs etc. My mate has a BM CSL which I think is getting on a bit too while others I know have wet dreams over it.
lol.....you drive a shed. its old, dated. and if you buy a new car....in 3 months time it will be a shed. your logic doesnt add up at all. if you dont like old cars but have to have the latest, not necessarily greatest incarnations, then youl be buying brand new cars forever more.....and frequently
you have a polo, and quite like the puma......could this be gally under another username?? lol but you hate older cars..wtf???? 1 or the other you contradict yourself within the same sentance lol...
This topic seems to have brought the RustyArch crew over with their wing mirror spiders so a fight can't be far off.
