God awful car IMO! the mirrors are fucking hideous I sat in an RS Turbo that had M3 mirrors on it and not only does it look fucking stupid, but you can't see a great deal out of them, might as well not have mirrors.

It's just been taxed for 12 months, he must use it sometimes

And it's insured;


F55 SOY is on the Motor Insurance Database today

The details on the MID are:

Vehicle Make/Model:FORD ESCORT RS CUSTOM TUR-I

alot of them are because you can buy M spec cars so basically a normal beemer with m spec styling and come with the m badges from the factory, my mate nearly bought a brand new 320d mspec last year till i gave him a shake lol

Well for me dude, I can remember years back prob late skool or early college buying buying a copy of either FastFord or PerformanceFord, for a long bus journey, and having already wanted an Red Rs Turbo for a long time as a young teenage. It was love at fisrt sight, wheels looked spot on and the huge big mouth front, bad boy bonnet, and single headlight. Even tho these day Id never have a big mouth front or bad boy bonnet ect as I dont like it anymore. I still hold a soft stop for it. If i got the change Id snap up the shell and reg, to do my own thing to it, but keep the name soy going.

Yeah I bought a couple of bits from it when it was broken up, found a picture of it the other day;



I can't say I like the styling or the car now but at the time I thought it was pretty cool.

I can remember this car being for sale twice that I know of, first time I see the car it was for sale and the picture of it were in what I think was the Grantham leisure centre car park. and then I saw it for sale a few years later out side someone's house.

I must say, I always thought G5 TOO looked better than SOY did. But the bad boy bonnet look hasn't aged so they all look a bit dated now.

SOY did have a very impressive spec, just a shame it never proved itself!
