Default Hi all

Hello all, my names andrewim 19, ive just joined up.

Ive always wanted an escort series 2 rs turbo since i can remember, so im saving up at the minute to hopefully get one next year. I wont be using it everyday just at weekends or good weather. So ive joined here to see other escorts and gain some knowledge.

a bit of everything mate. Cosworth, RS Turbos, Old School Escorts, Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Focus RS, M3s, M5s, Audi, VW, Volvos etc.

But mostly the kindest people you will ever come across. Except Benni, He's Gay

Excuse me love? Take that back before I scream! You cheeky devil, you. *xXx* Welcome to the forum, I like your Fiesta an awful lot. I would keep that over an Escort, personally.

I would like to buy a mint rs turbo for around Ł5000, and just have it for the weekends ect and keep it pretty much standard but i also really like an 03 focus RS so may just look at selling the fiesta and buying one of them next year instead of getting a escort not sure. There is pro's and con's.

There's no Pro's of an old Escort over the newer focus mate. A mint RS Turbo would be nice, but the new Focus is decades ahead mate.

Fudge? Real men pack Toffee. Anyway, leave me sexuality out of this and stop ruining the new lads thread. What I am trying to say is, stop flirting. Ignore him bud, It's this new scheme they have going. Computers for the Loonatics - They are hoping it'll encourage them back into the real world with a normal social life.

At Ł50 a night mate, you can treat yourself to what I like to call 'A bit of Benni', and have a whale of a time. Ł60 to you.

Don't believe him. Would you like to see a funny thread for Benni???

Keep the Fiesta ST and save the cash. Maybe you'll save enough to buy a Focus RS MK2

I know what you mean there is no pros of an old escort compared to a focus rs, but its just been my dream car since i was a lad, i did all my school projects on a series 2 rs turbo lol.

I would just like to own a mint clean one a get a good year weekend drives out of it, but i may save the cash and treat myself with a focus RS for a good everyday car. Thing is my budget would be 10k and ill have to wait two years, where the escort would be next year, and id have to pick one up the around 60,000 miles.

True but you will have a hard time finding a MINT S2. Not Impossible but a pain in the arse. Go buy a CLK430 Merc with a 4.3 V8. That'll keep you happy for 10k lol

A Pineapple? I sit here with my jaw on the floor in awe of amazment. You are now my new hero. I am going to have lazer surgery to remove my Tattoo's of Superman and replace them with a man of high credentials, amazement and sheer excellence. The one and only, you.

I'm going to have them do a cover up. All they'll need to do is enhance his muscles. Change the 6 to an 8 pack and redraw the head. After all, Superman was moddled on you, I am led to believe.

Prob go for the escort and in a few years no doubt i will own a Focus RS.

Im sure it will take me ages until i come across i clean escort with full service history, not to many owners and low miles and not to many engine mods and most importantly no rust (as little as possible)
