Havent cared much for any Ford since i sold the RS and was 99.9% sure i would be going jap when i get the cash, more modern very tuneable reliable blah blah.
Then that 0.01% poked its nose in while watching that Mk1 on top gear tonight
now i want another RS
am i mad or is it in the blood?

every car I have owned has been a ford this is due to my dad being the same up until my mum wanted a corsa

My old man was big into building racing minis etc but always had fords as well and still does to this day, the other side of my family have been into them as well mostly with 3i's and turbos
Get yourself a MK1 as you wont be happy if you dont

i was never bothered about Fords, id always been a Vauxhall fan for over 10 years.
Was never even bothered by RS's or Cosworths atall and for some reason when a mate came round about 2 years ago in his Escort Cossie i just got hooked.
Brand new Vectra Gsi was sold back to a local dealer within weeks and i got my first Escort Cossie, 2 years later and ive had 2 Escort Cossies & 2 Sierra 3dr Cossies and its now definetly in my blood!

ive always loved classic fords but never had enough money to afford one or insure 1 as im only just turned 20 but have now managed to scrape enough money to buy one so hopefully ill be riding round in a ford. coz im fed up of driving this jap crap that i have now, Driving a k reg Nissan Sunny 1.4 LX and the only reason im driving that is coz i wreked my nova LOL

Im mainly into vauxhalls, for the simple reason that in 9/10 circumstances they have better engines than the ford equivalent car, the exception being the cossie, but to be honest i think of that as a cosworth not a ford anyway TBH.
I'll say this much though, based on this site compared to the vauxhall site i normally use (migweb.co.uk) ford owners seem to know a hell of a lot more about tuning their cars.

Defo! The folkes went through a bunch of capri's the best one being the mk1 3.0s, me brother started in a mk3 escourt as did I, and went on to own a cortina with triple carbs, and xr2, and thats about as high up the ladder as he got, I started off with the mk3 1.3 escourt, a sweet little car, then went onto a 1.6 orion, which was a pain in the aRSe, then had a 2.0 mondeo si, that was a very reliable solid car which was sold to my sister, then onto the present day with me saff 4x4
