182 Cup & DCi 172
Some of my fords I have owned over the last few years:
Escort 1300 XL:
Focus 2.0 ESP:
Focus ST-2. Had this a few years and went through 2 main phases - tiger striped (stage 3 around 320bhp/500Nm) and non striped (stage 4 350-360bhp/600-650Nm):
And my favourite phase:
My current Ford:
Unfortunately now saving for a house so just got the Clio 182 & Sierra until a house is bought then going back to some big power turbo car of some description

Silver ersc above looks fantastic! Never seen one in that colour before. Also the grey rs2000 is lovely!

Those morettes need killing with fire. I find them moderately acceptable on imp ones

I used to know a girl named Lara who had a similar Capri to the one Dave last posted but I'm sure hers was a D reg. It was max power featured iirc.

I've been making a file of Capri photos for when I get one and that was already in there because of how brutal it looks,
impressive it was built by a girl, yank V8 power is the ultimate goal for mine.
(if I ever manage to keep hold of £1500 for more than a week)

Loved that Fiesta.... Was you the one that stripped it, and repainted inside... Its was my good friend Steve's... Was looking standard when he bought it.. He had a fit when he found it was used round Combe in the rain..... HA HA...

She was the gf of my landlady's partner's son. It came into our workshop plenty of times and went through a few stages. I remember we was spraying the rear of it matt black and practically chocking to death!
I'd like to know what the old bill had to say about the spikes on the wings,
they go mental if you have jagged bodywork let alone spikes for impaling people. lol

She probably just flashed some more flesh tbh.

That's her and the Capri. It was an awesome looking car and she was quite tasty too. She did sword swallowing and fire breathing.

next car gally?
So it is mate I actually posted from my phone, couldn't really see the picture.
I'd have a mk2 over the Mk1. But I also fancy a Silver XR2i. My friend had one that needed welding underside, so sold it for £500 profit... he regrets it everyday. It was a K reg and utterly immaculate. On tickover it sounded new!

Cool, cheers for the heads up!!Good article in evo this month, rs500
They are yeah, iirc only 50 of them made. Late J & some on a K plate. I went to look at one (K51 NTR) years ago, it was proper rusty & was owned by a chav. I walked away as it had a hard lifeI f**king love this...
One of my favourite cars in the whole thread. Look at it in that colour.
I just found out the late Fiesta RSTs could be had in Silver? Proper rare?
I agree about the Morette comment later on, they don't look nice on it.
A Silver 2i will be a later one mate, a 16v version that's when they put cats on them.
Did you seem my post #437 ? I was referring to Silver FRST's there mate.
Good luck mate! I reckon less than 20 are still alive now!
Also, some normal colours came on late reg plates, there were some red K plate cars around too.
