My first car was a 2 door mk2 escort which i bought for 50 quid. I started to strip it down and found it was really rotten. Then i got a D reg mk2 fiesta which must of been a special edition cause it had a holiday badge on the back n it came with a factory fitted sun roof n a 5 speed gearbox. I but pepper pot xr2 wheels on it too.

My first was when i was 14, I bought two 950 mk2 fiesta'a of my cousin to fuk about with. First on the road was a red orion 16i ghia. Me and my old man spent months working on it before i turned 17. New wings, Back arch's. Xr3i front bumper and colour coded 90 spec rear with a saff cossie spoiler. anda re spray, was mint and i loved it. I crashed it 3 months after pssing my test, was racing mymate in his Disastra gte and he stopped while i was changing the cd. You can imagine what happened next. I did love that car. D370WAL. Got another one but wasnt the same so got a 3i then a 2i
