Default Your favourite RS an why

As above really whats your favourite rs turbo and why ?

Ill start, mines a very good mate of mines rst van pushing out just under 200bhp but thats irrelevant to me its so much more than just "an rs turbo" so much work has gone into it taking it from a shitty work horse to an amazing show car ! Plus the scope for ways to go with the rear are endless.
Here are some pics of the beast...








My next ford project will defo be an escort van !

Bought it last Dec and drove it as my main car till this Nov. No special treatment, just washed most week ends and an odd polish thrown in. Decided to take her to a few shows this year. She's not concourse, just a nice straight honest example. Havin her winter nap at the moment so just doin a few tiny jobs while she's kipping. Bring on the spring !

Obviously I have to vote for my car as my favourite. After spending so much time and effort on the thing it'll be silly to vote for someone else's


I guess after mine it would be Mr C's, not that I am biast at all, but it just goes to show you do not need to spend a fortune on a car to get really good results
