[stonesie]

I had a 1998 1.8si ghia Escort.
Some of you may laugh but i can tell you it was a million times better than the e30.

Mine was a 1996 Escort 1.8SI, and I think you've been


It went well thanks to a set of MK4 escort XR130 cam's and a 2.0 Mondeo throttle body but suffered constant electrical problems regarding the fuse box, I changed it twice


It had it's good points but reliability and 'fun' were not on the list.

Here she is


And the all too fammiliar Ford Quality




I much prefered this temprimental old bugger, and kids kept nicking the front badge (I seriously considered forgetting the E30 idea and dropping a 20VT lump into this)

[dazleeds]

[ross_jsy]

first car was a renault 5 turbo, with a pillar made soley of fiberglass from the scuttle to the roof. ah bless jersey not having mot's! crashed that being young and foolish without a license. well, was only just over a year ago mind!

then decided fast cars with no expierience are stupid, bought a 94 1.4 clio to get some expierience, got bored quick and it kept breaking. got scrapped. then had another clio my mum bought me as a surprise, which was bad, very bad. was returned to seller and took them to court as they had described it as perfect etc. the vehicle inspector said he hadnt seen anything like it.

bought myself my 325i sport then, and a metro as a daily. i loved my metro, let all the hydragas out, had a ruthless handbrake and was so much fun. scrapped it as it was so rusty.

then a mk1 golf. only 2 cars i want to own really while being realistic. golf is turning into a slammed euro daily, the sport is a rally and hillclimb car

1965 Opel Rekord 1700S Coupé (bought 2004, tried to restore it, sold 2008)
