Welcome!!

there is plenty to read and learn on this site....amongst all the bickering and bitching there are some very smart people

master the search function and you'll find pretty much anything you need to know

i'd steer clear of a Crapri though

you're not far from me

lol one point i did forget wich would sort of help is my names Dan just to save people callin me riddler

what are u planning to buy rid?
well im really not to sure tbh with you if i went down the ford path i have always loved escort cossys but i have heard a few people sayin because of ther 4wd they arent always as fun as say a sapphire. The other problem is at the moment been 15 obviously money, also if they raise the age of driving and the fact when i do first get a car cossy or not can i afford the insurance?

but if i was to buy a cheap car now i wouldnt mind gettin an old escort mk2 maybe an im finkin cossy power

Hey welcome too the forum, i still love mk1 & 2 escorts, had 4 when i was younger and would still love a Cossy Powered one too but you would be better off with something modernish for yer 1st car, like a Pug 106 Xsi or summat, you can't bank on an old escort getting you from A to B lol...thats if you could find one
