Default WOO! New car, think I got a bargain!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...561961425&rd=1

Sold the Escort for £800 and have now just bought this little baby! I love the colour and the wheels offset it so well IMO. Now just got to hope the guy who's buying mine hurrys up and comes to collect it so I can get my hands on this!

The £200 I've got spare should be enough to sort out the minor faults listed. Get in! I'm well pleased!

My thoughts exactly! Just gonna get the stuff done that needs doing and that's it as far as the bodywork goes. No crap! It's the F16 engine as far as I know, hopefully there's a few options for them tuning wise!

I think there fairly quick as standard mate, IIRC there about 130bhp

Mind you thats no excuse to leave it alone now is it! Plenty of tuning options, as always mate the only limit is how deep you wanna dig in your wallet!

Not much cash at the mo but working on that so should be able to sort something out by the time I'm bored with it! 137bhp and a 0-60 of 7.7 secs. Not at all bad for my second car! Got the Escort in april after I got my license, but I got bored pretty fast. This should keep me amused and leave those VTR boys with looks of disbeleif on their faces at the lights!

Nope pretty good mate, they always used to cane my XR3i, but then my car only had about 120 brake, 18inch wheels and a massive spoiler

Was back in the day tho, was 17 then! 21 now
