Default Oh what to do, what to do, what to do

Dilemma time.

I am in love with series 1 ERSTs.............. the missus hates them.

For the price of a nice, clean series 1 I could get a belting series 2 with lots done.

I dont like white cars but would out up with it for the series 1

Series 1 dashs crack and the brakes are shite............. series 2 looks plain & boring



I just can't decide on what to do. What are the other pro's and caon's of each car that will help me decide???

s2 usually comes with a s2 dash anyways Less.....

IMO s2 dashes look shite in a s1. Keep it original in that way imo.

S1 over the s2 anyday and ive had both. Both were white too...as was my escos. White is the dogs mate open ur eyes

The interior is the big failing in a S1 IMHO. Love them to bits tho, easily one of the best looking RS's out there

I could change the wheels if I wanted but why waste money on a set of wheels when I could spend it on a set of pistons or a set of steel rods etc

I don't see any S1's round my way

There aren't many S1's left that's why they stand out more and people notice what have been done to them

I could spend Ł800 on a set of wheels and you could spend Ł800 on your car but mine would still piss all over yours

Cheers Lee, but you must be more than happy with your Escort Cossie

Oh and James get used to this view in your passenger mirror cos it'll only last about a second as I come blasting past you

S1, easy! I've had no probs at all in the 18 months i've had mine, starts every time, runs sweet (just r/roaded @186bhp).No cracks in the dash! Brakes are easy to uprate if you need better, just make sure you buy a decent 1 and your sorted!!
