I've never had those kind of problems TBH, just the ones when you're flying down the motorway and there's a loud bang



Fuck it. 1 more to get it out my system. I can always break it and get my money back

Hoooray, thats the spirit! Go for an S1 though Rab got to love them.
Has to be an S2... For some reason....

Right, might just buy a shell and do the rest myself, go EFi in the process

4 doors, lots of room for girlies, and shonky old ford turbo for that wheels scrabbling acceleration but can't go round corners and likley to break lots and cost you a fortune?

Sounds like sirs needs have progressed from RST's to a 2wd sapphire cosworth - go on, you know it makes sense- Get leather as well, then you can laugh as your mrs friends slide across the back seats ( who are already shitting themselves due to nearly going out the back window as 30psi comes in ) leaving snail trails on your leather at every island

They are good fun though.

Puzzled at all the people that have had hassle. Owned my S2 for 11 years and it's not been fault free but not bad at all considering how hard I drive it

If I bought a Cossie they'd just point blank refuse to get in it

get a decent one, get it set up and it'll be cheap as. Thats one of the reasons i got mine - ford parts are so cheap, it's simple and reliable.

I suppose your right. But this time I'm going to buy a shell, and start from there getting rid of the K-Jet at the same time.


I think I'll keep the Toyota for when the RST breaks down

Don't take this the wrong way, but I can't see why people bother with RST's when you can get a decent saff for 3-4k twice the car an RST is

Do it man

I've got a Mk6 RS2000 and although it's alright it's never as good as my S1.

Ask anyone in the C&E Group about the breakdowns I've had with mine, it would put you off owning any cars for life. It may be 21 years old but it makes me smile everytime I turn that key.

So get the Nike Air Max 90's on Rab, some Stone Roses on the CD player, and dae it, cos it's aw guid.

Cannae beat an RST

ROFL @ Nike Air Max 90's


Do you all think this could be my mid-life crisis? Just a few years early?
