Should never have sold this but the missus said I could only have one toy... so kept the 3 door.

Will not easily find another like it.

Only car I have made money on so far.

You are right in some ways....

The thing used to do donuts around the centre axis of the car. Was so much fun.

However it just was not fast enough - 2.1lt twin 45's. However, this is something I learnt putting a turbo pinto into a Mk2 RS2000 - if you want a fast car buy a fast car to begin with.

However some of my worst car decisions have been made with the quest for more power. I should have been happy with the fast pinto.

I'm sure there was pics of it on here mate! My mate was up country and saw it happen!

It made a rather sudden connection with a lampost IIRC! Was a supposed 40mph accident but the damage makes that a rather unbelievable statement IMO!

E526 SPA white mk2 fiesta pop plus. No pics but surely you can visualize a white standard mk2 fiesta.

We traded it in in the year 2000 for a blue citroen AX electric blue metalic, M789 WMO IIRC. We sold it to our uncle whos still got it. I presume the fiesta was scrapped.

i wish i had never sold this car, tbh it was pretty shit but so many good times in it and even though i was a knob in it doing burnouts all the time etc it never fully let me down (blew a few gearbox's but it still got me to my mates to replace em)




i sold this to get my cossie, i wish i could have kept it as a weekday car but i simply coult afford to

I sold my 1.9+ cvh, S2 Escort to raise money for my business. Biggest mistake ever, cos within 2 months the business swallowed the money up, and i was left without my pride and joy.

Even worse than that was the chap who brought it, kerbed the nsf wheel getting of my drive when he was taking it away, then phoned me 2 weeks later to say someone had taken the front corner off it in a crash, and the insurance assessor wanted to know what make the "funny yellow dampers" were, and where they could get a new wheel from etc etc.

Gutted wasnt the work. Its probably fooked by now, or scrapped. I'm too scared to look TBH...

Strangely this





was my first car, when i bought it it was in a right state, spent every weekend for nearly a year welding it back together, all it needed was a deent paintjob and it would have been mint, nearly all new suspension, all the extras, E/W, C/L etc. XR2i Seats and steering wheel, white dials, and 2 10", a 12" sub, 2 6x9's and new doorspeakers, pink carpet in the back (), fuel pump pressure increased etc.
then the fuel pump drive belt went on it and i'd had enough, ripped all the good buts off it and scrapped the coont, so with i hadn't now and just stuck a turbo diesel in.

looked like this when i bought it
