Default 151bhp turbo'd bonus...now sold!

well as people know i ust to own the red popular. (escort popular project in this section)

well i got rid of it as it needed a few lil things doing to it...and as beeing a 1.6 (down on the logbook as a 1.3) was very dodgy if i crashed it so got rid of it because of that and also it was to much on fuel...which i just thought it was a abit of a waste....

old escort popular





i sold it friday...and was thinking what do i want now then...

when i come across a mint mk4 bonus on ebay.....and i couldnt resist


SO I BROUGHT IT! and here she is..

12months mot and tax
71k miles from new
4 owners from new
veryy good condition as you can see...























will keep everyone posted on the changes!
