if a mk2 orion is your dream car you need to set your sights a bit higher.

If u find an orion mate ive got a set of orion RS options skirts and boot spoiler kicking about

Spikey have u seen the prices the F1s go for?! Would be very few ppl on here that could afford to buy 1 let alone the running costs

Anyway getting someone to sell them these days is the hard bit!!!

LOL hey we are all different mate, you go for what you like.

I had 1.6 GL that my old man had from new over 10 years ago. Ended up whacking a cam in it, with four branch manifold and Mongoose Exhaust. Plus put full 1600e interior in with good ICE. Plus i had 17" Venoms (which were brand new at the time and everyone raved about them!). Fond memories of that car

Know what you mean, Orion much better looking than similar 5 door Escort, that's why I owned one, but body kits sometimes looked iffy on it, but mine served me well and ultra reliable!

Come on lay off the lad a bit guys. I was exactly the same as were many on here at a young age im sure. Nothing wrong with being realistic and having a target of what to realistically aim for for the moment. When i was 16 my dream car was a nova GTE, i owned nova Sr's then a year later i finally saved up enough for my dream car, a nova GTE! (please feel free to laugh ) Then you set your sights higher, then higher and so on. At 19 it was a mk4 cab with RS engine then i finally got one after working 3 part time jobs while at school. By 20 odd years old my dream car was an escos, then a couple of years later i eventually got one! Now my dream car is a lambo, and i WILL have one in the next 5 years or so! (even though it looks a long way off at the moment )

And when you get one, you'll want to replace that microscopic turbo for a proper one
