i'm 37 and have had my current s2 for 3 years,it's definately a ford thing!! other people just dont understand the concept of owning and maintaining a 15+ year old escort rs. but as other peeps have said,the satisfaction of blowing scooby's and other jap crap into the weeds is well worth it!!

I'm 30 now and I have just treated myself to an RS1600i and Series 1
I used to have all this sort of stuff when I was younger, 2 S2's, 3 S1's a cossie saph, turbo mk3 escort cabby, then I kind of thought I was getting a bit old for these so I went into BM's and golf GTI's and the like.
But I have to say that there is no better feeling then being sat 1" from the rear bumper of a scooby and thenpulling out and overtaking at 120 and seeing the guys face as a c reg escort goes past.
I had a 325i coupe for a bit that cost a fortune to buy and run, people used to love the way it looked and it did drive very well but when you get blown away by an older escort you think to yourself "why do I spend all this money, and then get beaten by an old escort"
So I an now that guy in the old escort again and it's great, I work for an IT company and the car park is full of BM's, Merc's, Jag's and porkers, but everyone I work with has commented on the Series 1, it's timeless, and the people who call us boy racers don't have a clue.
When I met my gf she said she wasnt into cars, and that was proven by the Micra she drove, she had a go in my turbo cabby and put her Micra up for sale straight away, since then she has had an MX-5, 2 205 GTI's and she now drives a 205 CTI with 1.9 wheels and soon to add a MI-16 lump with a turbo.
People who say they are not into cars are not into cars cos they have never had a decent one, they just drive bland rubbish and have no clue on what they are missing out on.
My gf parents spent Ł16k on a megane and it has been back to the garage 16 times in 2 years and they have just traded it in and got 5k for it, in that 2 years the gf car never went wrong and it's F reg and still worth what we paid for it.
Gone on a bit there, I will shut up now

Im 24 & still have my first RS. Ive been called a boyracer a number of times. I just shrug my shoulders at there ignorance. The thing is, they call it an XR3i. If they dont know the diffrence between a 3i & an rs, then there obviously the clueless one's. Thought the vents, wheels, skirts, RS badge etc would be a big hint.

I drive s1 turbo while wife has black RS1600i.
Have had RS's nearly all my driving life(white 1.6i,s2 turbo ,3dr cosworth)

Amazing the amount of people who comment how good it is to see a proper car for a change or just give admiring looks
LOVE these cars

Well i'm just 30...but only look mid 20's
Bought my S2 back end of '97. Still got it (altho it's up for sale). Just bought a S1. Boy racers had the xr's b'cos they couldn't afford an RS...altho the prices have dropped right down now.
but have had people tell me that the S1 is a 'grown-ups/ real mans' Escort RS in comparison to the S2.
I just like to show newer cars up when they see an 18 yr old car disappear infront of them.

I'm 28, have had my current S1 for almost a year, never really had any Boy racer jibes although I do get a lot of envious glances from spotty young neds in their saxo's and corsa's. Only ever strayed away from Fords once to get a Fiat Bravo HGT, which I still rate as one of the best cars I have ever driven - it ate Golf GTi's for fun. Folk used to slag me for having that as well until they were a passenger in it, just don't listen to folk like that anymore..

I'm 25.
I was thinking about a Series 1 when I was 19. I went to look at one and my ex came with me. She went out in it and begged me to buy it all the way home for the next hour. I went back a week later and bought it.

i was 22 when i had a s1,had it about a year when it had to make room for a large turbo escos,still very much like the s1's would love another but the usual space restrictions are a problem.
