I watched one online the other day, where they built an Escort rally car, probably from a couple of years ago.

Early in the show they talked about the fact it had the proper RS2000 engine, carb and exhaust etc. They showed the engine at the end and it had suddenly gained twin carbs and an aftermarket manifold. Did they mention that when they worked out their profit? Did they fuck.

But then I also remember in one of the very early ones, where they did the 205 GTI. There was blue smoke pouring out of the back of it and they claimed it was because of a faulty gear linkage.

It was shit when it started, and remains shit to this day
