for the first time in years our household now dosn't own a single RS...
it feels a bit wierd but relieving at the same time,, a year or so of 'normal' cars
if we fancy it next year we may get another mk1 focus RS, maybe a mk 2!

 

Did you sell the escort mat or take a trade in it? least its away it was a nice car that

 

I don't own a rs for a year or 2 now. And believe me you don't miss it. plus you can have some money savings now

 

Carlo, Phil (Boschman, IMA Racing etc) bought it, it all fell in quite nicely, i was fed up waiting for it to sell so arranged to buy another car, that was finalised Wednesday, Phil called Wednesday night to say he'd have the escort, i picked the new car up Thursday morning & dropped the escort off to Phil that night.

 

Nice mate whats phil's plans for it ? the 500 bhp engine? poor car prob be broken shortly

 

thats pretty much the way i was thinking
i can't imagine the money we've spent on cars over the years but we've always enjoyed them, as a couple then as a family from when we had our first son, the 2 boys have been in some cool cars

Carlo, Phil was pretty cool about the escort, he wanted it as an every day car, as i seem to do, i probably described it worse that it was on the phone, when i got to Phil it was dark but he seemed pleased with with he could see,, he posted on escos.com that he was happy aswell.
he done a bit of homework on the car & spoke to NMS, it seems the car didn't have a basic engine build, it had a new block, crank, pistons etc with the ported head, so knowing that Phil knows at worst (or if he gets bored) it will break for good money.

 

Everyone is a winner then

 

I have been RS less for about 3 years now........and tbh i dont really miss them that much. But a certain car is up for sale soon so i may have another one......Well, i say another one, it will be more like an old friend coming to see me

 

you never let that one go did you Mark

problem is when you have a good motor, if you sell it & but it back a few years later, as much as you wanted it back it seems a disapointment after a couple of weeks
out of all my old cars, if i could have 1 back it would be the black saff.

 

Maybe i should join the rs LESS club would be £23k up

 

We havent had a RS for about a year after we sold our Series 2, we see a Series 2 yesturday while we was out and about and the wife turned round to me and siad i wouldnt mind another RS soon restult lol
