Default New member and A brief introduction

Hi, seeing as I have started using this site recently I thought I would introduce myself.

I am 23 and am a Ford nut through and through. I currently work within the motortrade. My Ford cars are an Escort RS turbo and Saff 4x4. The Escort is my first car and the Cossie just had to be done. Those with Cossie's know what I mean!!

Some of you may recognise the turbo from when it was featured in Performance Ford a few years back. This was done with the help of Dave Moore whom I have known since before he joined the Performance Ford team. The Cossie is something of a childhood dream come true which I have owned for 2 years now which mainly remains as I bought it apart from an few performance upgrades to the engine. I try to keep them both in good condition and only use them on nice days and the odd show. During the wet/winter weather they rest in a dry workshop to maintain there conditon.

Ok so some pics of my babies!!

cheers for your comments peeps!

No i neaver had a scoop in the bonnet shawn, deffo no my cup of tea.

lol yep i really do like the soft spokes G2 FSR, the colour match to my paint is spot on i was really pleased with them the day i piced them up from fords. I have 9 all together.

the clear lights i agree with you on that Bodge22 they only suit the right colours i think merc grey looks fine with them too, again i was pleased the day i put them on, nice to have the clears all round!

Hi,

Just a thought but did the series 2 rs start life as a 1.3??? I'm sure I remember reading about it.

Stunning cars - especially to own at 23!!! You must be best friends with the insurance people.

Good work.

This is the car I was thinking of, can just see the bonnet scoop: looks like it's off a nissan patrol or something similar 4x4: very large and flat. Been magazine featured a few times. All smoothed and vee-dub styled.

Good work.
your spot on fella it was a 1.3 bonus, and was featured in the Performance Ford mag a while back. it had only done 35,000 miles when i got my hands on her and she is my first car, then one thing lead to another. lol. and yes i do have a good relationship with the insurence company. i am the youngest person in the uk to have 3 cars on there books and 2 of them being highley modded, and yes i am fully comp and all declared. i use Greenlight top guys. and the funny thing is im using my mums Escort RS atm while i look for a new runaround car for work.
Its deffo RS fever. lol

Hi there Essex(Dave?)

Would like to say hello, because it was seeing your RS rep that made me want one of my own, found a 61K minter, and built one too
Have seen yours at numerous shows, and must say its blinding

A couple of pics of mine buddy,





not quite as shiny under the bonnet as yours, but its only been on the road since December

do you have msn messenger at all, would be good to have a chat(im 21 by the way)

trialswhitty@hotmail.co.uk

keep up the good work mate, maybe see you at some shows this year, would be good to have a pic of them side by side
cheers
Danny
