I really like that too. It's nice and simple and I really like the fact that it's on Ford wheels that are simply painted black

i love that wee car - good job mate

some people forget that some folk are younger and cant afford to spend Ł000s on their car - i think thats worthy of readers cars and would happily read the spec as much as a 500 bhp Cossie.

Mine was in PF last month and just sent pics to FF

they might stick in in the wierdo corner but it does make a change from 3million brake cossies and hardcore track cars and the like

all he needs is his mum and some shopping in the boot and sorted

obviosuly his mum owuld be in the front seat and the shopping would be in the boot, not like i'm saying he's a nutter who won't let his old dear get into the car or anything

I really like that to. We cant all have rs turbos and cosworths straight away. My first car was a D reg mk4 1.3 escort, i added a few bits like alloys and smoked/red rear lights. Obviously i would of preferred a rs turbo straight away but u cant get insurance or necessarily be in full tme job at 17

well done for gettin in fast ford mag mate

i think thats cool, cleand and a few well chosen mods.

a lot of people chuck a fortune at their fords and they still not as nice, or maybe they big spec, but just the same old shit.
