I was 21 when I bought my first Ford, a Fiesta Si that I still own, had it 6 years now.

Bought my first RS, a Fiesta RS Turbo in 2004 when I was 25, since then I've had a Series One and an RS1800, that I've still got.

the kent on the other hand with the DFT weber car goes nicely

First RS was a Mk2 RS2K at 19 ( replaced a 5.7litre V8 Mustang I had at 18 )

Had the RS less than a week and it was written off by an oncoming BMW which was overtaking.....
so got my 2nd RS2K a couple of months after that...

Parts aren't that bad, there's Cosworth in California to thank for that. I go over a lot so when I'm there I pick up spares if I can if not I get it sent to me.
