10.5 years and I can't even begin to contemplate how many hours of my life have been spent developing this car. So, I'm a little choked to see this sight.





Good luck with your new project Adam!

 

Sad indeed, but hopefully not the last we shall see of that car

What are your plans now Christian?

 

 

It's only a beantin.

 

Good answer.

 

Sad day but you know its going to a good home

 

I'm sure you'll replace it with something just as interesting Christian!

 

Are you now gonna fuck the fordies off too mate?? Can I suggest an E39 M5 for sir...

Seriously though, what is replacing it? I assume that whatever does will be used as an advert for the business, so possibly a cheeky wee EVO??


Cheers,
Grant

 

Sad day.

 

yeah, and yours is only a 4 door sapphire with a pinto engine with a 16 valve head made by cosworth if you want to look at it that way

 

It certainly won't be replaced with something that demands so much of my time, so thats an Evo out of the window.

Something moderately fast, but also completely usable. Nothing I can afford to own will replace the power of that little RST, so there's no point trying.

 

Sad times Christian, was one of my favourite RSTurbo's and gutted i never got to see it go.

What you got planned to replace this?

 

its only a rst ffs

 

at least ours have power steering.......cunt lol

 

With respect, you should have done this about 4 years ago, as soon as you discovered track days...

Shame though - had a good few rides in that car about 9 years ago!

 

Such a shame Christian, but you've made the correct choice I'm sure. And although probably NOTHING in comparison to the money spent in total, you must have got a fairly nice lump for breaking it up

 

Sad sight, but at least it's now out of your life and you don't have to spend any more time on it.

P.S. Wanna rebuild my engine ?

 

It was more than just a rst, if cosworth can stick a 16v head on a pinto and call it a super car what the hell was christians

it was built around a escort shell yes but that was the only thing left unchanged modified

 

You'll still have the memorys though.

 

M5 then

 

Exactly m8.

 

I have an incling what he might be interested in

Or at least what he was interested in last week anyway.

Sad sight seeing the S2 on a trailer off to a new home though.

 

No more said though, eh??

 

people spend money on cars because they like doing it, like a hobby not because they have to, the hundreds of pounds people spend pissing it up the wall each week is more uncreative

people like different things in life some need to look like there doing well so buy a BMW some like adrenalin and will buy a out and out racer 550 bhp RX7, some like doing the old volkswagen beetles

none of them are wrong choices people just have different ideas to others

 

Post some pics of when you first got and and how it progressed through the years, be a good read no doubt!

 

End of an era alright

time for a cossie i guess! thats what all you rst owners aspire to rotf

 

gutting moment.

Its only a car, Fuck off it was his pride and joy, its not about money being spent, its the time and effort developing the car, getting it to his spec, and loving it like they should be.

Sorry but a 1.1 run around that never even gets one bit of attention is JUST A CAR.


I don't understand the fact that his time has been spent on this and his heart and efforts sweet and tires went into this project.

 

and wheels, and fuel and oil and...

 

lol @ sweets and tires

 

Ive got something in my pocket for you pal

''Pulls Middle Finger out''

 

 

Ah well mate onwards and upwards.

Have to admit I keep thinking about breaking mine up as well. But know damn well if I did teh cash would only get sunk into my A4. As it stands it owes me nothing, I own it lock stock and barrell, no debts on it.

End of an era mate but start of another

 

It must be a very sad day for you , hopefully though you have enjoyed the journey and have certainly excelled at it !!!

 

Why did you break it?

 

Remember when this was a standard mint example with low miles,but atleast it will live on

I cried when I sold my old ERST all those years ago

 

pete said it will be the end of an era for your car if u dont pay up

 

Its made it safely to its new home down south. What a long day...10 hours stuck in a Transit...not my idea of fun! This car will definately live on...and will be about for many years to come. Me and the misses are currently sat in my living room in the recaros.lol

Add

 

Hope the legend lives on

 

is a shame but it will live on.

 

always wanted to have one ,wish i was the one that took it over
nice car mate!
