Default What the F**K is wrong with me.... An RST problem

I've had 9 RS Turbos, I've had 2 RS Turbo propelled XR2s, I know just how un-bloody-reliable and crap to drive they are so....


... Why in the ruddy smelly pile of fuckshit do I want another one?





I have a nice looking, reliable Jap sporty car thing, which drives great, looks alright I suppose, and never ever breaks. So, why... WHY ..... WHWYWHWYWHWY!!! do I want another bleeding RST....

My Mum reckons it's the 10 year old in me thats doing it, my wife reckon I'm just a proper fucking idiot and my mates reckon I'm on drugs.....



So, please convince me that selling my Toyota and spending loads of time and money on another shonky ford is a bad idea........

You're all Evil


I don't know why I want one. There's sooooo many better cars out there, that go faster and don't break every 5 minutes


I think it's cos the memories of the good times, is still there. The memories of being sat there looking at some pile of shite that doesn't fucking work have gone out my head....

I do need to get something a bit more practical though, cos everytime the missus wants me to taxi her and her mates, I have to do it in her 1.2 Punto and I can't be doing with that any more

Need 5 seats

I've never had those kind of problems TBH, just the ones when you're flying down the motorway and there's a loud bang



Fuck it. 1 more to get it out my system. I can always break it and get my money back
