1989 Ford Escort MK4 1.3 Popular Radiant Red with black bumpers. I put gold wheel trims on it thinking it looked bad at the time. Oh the shame

Professional Waffler
Mk3 Escort 1.6 Ghia 5 door finished in Champagne Gold, Couldn't afford alloys in those days so it got XR2 steelies and I painted the hubcaps black. Also added green Ford ovals and the biggest set of spot lamps I could find

PassionFord Post Whore!!
An ex police Cavalier SRi we found in the back corner of a Seat dealership compound. It got traded in after being sat on a drive for 18 months then sat there for another 10 months. Fired up first turn of the key with the jump leads on. It had 121k on it and when I sold it 14 months later it had 168k on. Every single mile I did in it was totally flat out. I loved that car
