I got no reason to prove my competance when it comes to cars 
The duct does the job perfectly, unlike something that resembles a Ł500 nostril!

Doubt they'll ever be classed in the same catagory as the Escort or 3door Cosworth, but I reckon good examples will keep their value. Mine has 
We'll just have to see how good or bad the new Focus RS is in comparison

what about the sapp cossie
why would you not think they would be in the same class tho?they are limited in numbers etc!although i know they have no racing pedigree as such but still?!i doubt the new focus rs will have any effect on the first ones as the 2nd one is unlimited in numbers(although it does look the bollocks!)the only thing i can see cutting prices is the road tax

Its a cracking car, simple, good looking a reliable. But I'm still gonna hold out to drive the MK2, if its an awsome car, then I see the prices of the MK1 dropping. If its bad, then they'll stay pretty much where they are either because of the latter, or the fact more numpties have added them to the scrap yard pile and less are on the road.

Try driving a high performance example
because I too have driven a few high powered ST's, and they are too lumpy and pathetic in the corners without a proper diff to support the power.

Jay, its cheap becasue its a ringer, lol
D5 JJC, 74k - FSH - mongoose and decat etc. its a very good example imo, just a few petty niggles i had to sort out which are now all done. ie heater fan speed resistor, and wiper motor relay, and it was due its next service.
but im happy with it at that price - an ideal everyday car etc

brilliant car in every way 300 bhp 6 speed box ,engine sounds awsome very good on fuel compared to cosworths ,frs, alot of parts can be got from euro car parts ,e bay etc ... the alarm fooked up on it and porsche dealer had to recode 2 keys which cost me 377
but most other items can be soursed
it really goes well got it insured for 500 quid fully comp i am 35 years old full no claims etc... but being a ford man i feel like a posh git driving it

i would hope a frs is reliable!they are only 5 odd years old!wait until they get to 20 years old and then see how good they are!specially with all the electrics etc!same with evos/scoobys!always unfair imho to compare reliability with a 20 year old cossie to a 5 and under year old motors
