I went for a nice long drive to weston with the missus, upset a couple of people who tried it on, then split my top radiator hose on the way home after a long bit of ringroad i joined was empty and my right foot got the better off me

Gotta source a top hose quickly now as i use the car daily lol.

Man i wish i had a car...

More specifically , a standard Radiant S2.

^ that one would look better without the softlines though but thats my Opinion. Looks Mint though still.

These all look great

Every single 1 is awesome!! I love turbos. To me they still look better than modern cars. The red escort is stunning.
