Default if you could re-own an ex car which one would it be????

for me it would have to be my £150 escort xr3i (105bhp) bought as a cheap run about while i had the engine in my fiesta replaced.

dazza can agree how mint this car was...for £150 i got...




*16' mondeo rims (swapped with the old 17's off my fiesta)
*eibach lowering suspension
*full magnex stainless system
*k&n panel filter
*cd player
*full service history
*and 6 months MOT

i loved this car, yes it was shit, but it was shit in a good way! sold it for £650 about 6 months later!

Mine would be my old ex-rally RS1800 still miss that car

Funny enough it turned up on ebay last week Not in such good condition as it was when i brought it 5 years ago!!!!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...e=STRK:MEDW:IT

Was one fast RS1800 used to whoop a lot of turbo's and boy did that car have some torque!!!! Not bad for a na car But not one of the fastest fiesta lol maybe one of the fastest RS1800 out there alex wanted to by it back he loved driving it!!!

The guy selling it recons it gave his cossie a run for its money It used to whoop scoobys of the lights had to use second to pull away in that car lol Think thats why alex liked it so much! He used to rag the hell out of it and it never ever went wrong

My 2nd reno5turbo, 25psi of big turbod 8000rpm fibreglass panneled lightweight madness

Then a lorry drove into it and destroyed it.

If not that, then the 3dr comes a close 2nd, not sure why not first, but just isnt, quite...

My '81 Golf GTI. It was my first road car and just so much damn fun. It was only 17 months old when I clipped a telegraph pole on a country lane, did a full 360 midair and landed in a field....sniff..sniff

my first series 1 turbo. It was my first proper car and I'll always miss it.
I didn't want to sell it, but I lost my job and ran out of money.
I cried as I watched it being driven away.
