What an idiot
On a seperate note, did MCR Vehicle Sales ask my permission to use the Focus RS photo with white comps I took to use on their banner?!?!?!

You must be on drugs mate? The guys bought a far, far superior car and will be sitting laughing at this thread.

i would have the evo an four grand tbh.
he has traded a 15 year old ford escort for a newer, faster more reliable car and got four grand on the side.
also the escorts are beggining to depriciate so i dont imagine hes any worse off with the evo.

I done the exact same a few years ago albeit for an evo VII.
Think i made the right decision back then and still think the same today.
The Escos is a stunning looking car but the Evo's drive so much better and so they should, they have some years on the Escort.
He will be able to use that Evo day in day out without issue.
Looks really nice

whoever wrote the tag has hit the nail on the head with some of these people
fair enoguh the escort is a motorintg icon and looks the absolute bollocks but it is not better than the evo in anyway apart from how and looks and makes you feel
id want an evo 5 though...think they look better than the 6

10K+ Poster!!
To be honest i think the lad made a good decision, he swapped a nice escort cosworth for a really nice allround Evo 6 and £4000.
Always makes me laugh when people call them 'jap crap' etc, they are absolutely fantastic to drive, in a straight line, round bends, high speed, low speed, brakes are pretty good etc.
I have and will always have a soft spot for the Escort Cosworth but the first time i had a go in one i was majorly disappointed, infact gutted is more suitable as a description of how i felt, my childhood dream had just been shattered, they were nowhere near as good as i thought they were going to be!
But they still look fantastic, even now

I've gone from a saff that needed money ploughing into it week after week, to an EVO that I use daily and has never let me down! Handles superb, quicker than my stage 3 saff. I've had loads of fast fords and would love to have an escos but 14k plus on a car that will break down nah I'll stay jap the guy has done the right thing

i would have the escos out of them two. it looks fantastic and its a piece of history.
the evo will also be worth £1000 one day, i cant see a escos ever going under £10,000 tbh.

Hope he got some cash his way, i offered that dealer my 3 door and a audi s3 for a evo 9 he had for sale, after 3/4 emails he never got back to me and the evo is now sold
