I agree that xr owners have a chip on their shoulder...BIG TIME.

I even call the new focus ST the new xr3i as it's not quite as cool as the RS

Had a few arguments here about "mint" "concours" xr3i's being worth decent money. Erm doubt it

really

well my name says it all doesnt it, but before i owned an xr i had a saf cossie, ive had xrs ever since, dont get me wrong the only good thing about a saf or an rs turbo is the engine thats it, i prefer the looks of the xr4x4 and the handling compared to a saf so with the rs engine i think it makes it a better car but its still an xr

i do have an rs cosworth aswell but tbh im to busy messing around with the xr as i know that will be more fun than the escos

but then again if it wasnt for the xr then the rs may have never been

In all honesty you would probably be able to keep the M-thrizzle and use some of Chop Jnr's chocolate coins at crimbo to swoop in on a tidy example of an XR mate.

Now there's a plan. Sweeties for an XR has to be a good deal in their favour...

Yes mate, I bought a pint on my lunch break and had 2 quid change from a fiver so I figured I would splash out with it and buy a car, so an XR was the logical choice given my budget for it.

Only to people without what is IMHO a reasonable sense of humour and thats far more their problem than mine if they want to just to such silly conclusions anyway.

Cant please all the people all the time mate and I certainly dont even bother to try, so I really dont care what some people on a forum think they have worked out about me from taking some posts the wrong way, my life isnt especially stressful but i do have a few things in it more important to worry about than if you think im arrogant or not when I havent even a fucking clue who you are or vice versa
