Think you would be mad to sell Break or do anything other than keep it even if your having fun in the sierra how long for that wears off? the Monte will always be Gangster no matter how long it sits in the garage

Andy your Mad mate. you cant keep the saph and sell the Escort, i know what you mean about fun, with me i drove my saph a hell of a lot harder than i drive my Escort and i drove it hard most of the time to. i think its cos the saph was only 5 and a half grand car as aposed to the Escort price tag. so your not as scared to break it. i'd wanted a Escort for so long, just dont want anything to happen to it now i've got one. probably drive the Escort like a fanny most of the time now to be honest, i think it looks better just steady away aswell. (Most of the time that is) As said mate keep her till the summer and the shows and so on and i dont think you will sell.

I dunno what to do. I do give the escort a good thrash every now and then, i just dont want it to break as well as clock up miles. The sierra does get a good thrashing but i know if the engine goes bang, then it can be rebuilt for under a grand. Plus, side ways is awesome. i just love the look of the Escort. And the speed, handling, braking. More pros than cons then. Just annoyin that it does not get wet use or when the road is salty and thats why it aint moved for main reason.

Yeah. I suppose. Whats funny is, monday nights i go out in town (student night) and today bein a nice day. I could go in escort and leave that outside the bar. But i actually want to go in the sierra. Might just be novelty still.

Leave it in the garage and keep it you fanny. Bring it back out in the spring/summer.

I didn't drive the S1 for 3 months last year because of bad weather! Looks like it's going to be parked up for a while now as they have started gritting the roads!!

I think you'll regret selling it. I'll always regret selling my last one, you'll miss it when it's gone!

I'm in the same boat Andy, i keep asking myself whats the point of having it sat in the garage. The only thing that stops me is I wouldn't know what to replace it with
