have a look on there, buying guide

 

"L8 ECU" aka Doug Stirling, on here has a 7, very nice car

His is an FQ model

 

Had one a few years back, best car i have ever owned. Had a French Blue with silver bumpers, GEM's management, BBS alloys etc etc... Lovely to drive, handles well, practical being a 4 seater with a decent sized boot. Advantage with the GEMS is that I ran 2 fuel maps switchable via the dash enabling me to run one on Optimax and one on Unleaded for longer normal journeys! Still personall Would deffo buy another one!!

I've recently bought one.

Its an RS2 FQ300 and is a brilliant car.

Use it every day to travel to work and get 23mpg out of it.

Go drive one thats the best thing to do.

P.S. my mate has a red VII for sale on there and its a stunning motor

 

thnx fellas.

gunna go test drive some at the weekend i think.

my rs is for sale 5k, any takers?

 

I used to own a FQ300 and its been the BEST car ive ever owned! Only sold as i didnt use it enough

Got another RS to sit collecting dust, but i can assure you if ever the company derv goes, i WILL get another

 

sounds like i'm making the right move selling the scort to get a 7 then?

 

just do it.

 

go for it mate you wont regret it evo,s or the daddy

Not much to say really that has not been said other then test drive one on a nice b road were you take your rst and see what you come up with, i would be amazed if your not impressed

An RST or an Evo 7.... it's a no brainer

Evo all the way

 

Im glad its not just me who is thinking of moving on..been looking at 55 plate Fq340's...they look rather nice. I like the escort but getting parts is a right pain in the A*se

 

I have already moved on and FWIW I don't miss my Escos at all, I wore the Ford binkers too long and should have got an Evo sooner.

 

just had an insurance quote and things are looking good.

just looked at a few well known companys, not specialist.

got 2 that are less than 900 quid fully comp.

things are looking up

 

Any of the later model Evo's are superb. I have a VII (pics are on here somewhere, do a search for them) and am currently down in the country over here in Oz. I bring it down here for a blast along the open roads and through the mountain twisties which is where they come into their own.

They handbrake turn beautifully as well if you know how
