I just read that and thought "Bloody Hell!", but then, when I thought about it. 120k doesnt buy a production car that can post times (sprint/lap) in the same league as your Escort.

Would you ever consider using Nos to reach your goal?

performance bargain for the money - i would have bought it at that price.

i'm sure you'll still enjoy life without it - you've got plenty to play with without needing a toy car now that you have the lovely maria

You should build a Focus RS in the Reyland Colors with a similar spec and engine to Patrick. That would be an awesome car and would look great next to the Reyland Escort.

was away over the weekend and gutted when I saw this.

I don't know you at all, but the car was perfection for me - shit loads of power, unbelieveable spec and a mint paint job. Saw it at Martins a couple of times and it was a dream package. I just need to win the lottery and get Martin to create the new Reyland 3 door.

Would you buy it back if the geezer sold?
