jason ive seen some pictures of your cars in various places on here and theyve been stunning mate, love the rouse.

nothing special for me, started off with a passed down mk6 escort si from my mam, and bought a red mk6 as a parts car after a little knock, scrapped it and sold the Si escort to fund an MG ZR, had that about 2 month and turned out to be previously written off and lost a lot of cash. just used the folks' cars for a bit but my mam got rid of her focus and the insurance for the impreza was stupid, so bought a mk4 fiesta and hated the thing. sold that for pennies, had a couple of nights out and bought a couple models with the change

 

i had a mk3 xr3i which i sold and bought a d reg mk 4 xr3i both diamond white sold that and bought a rattlesnake kitted mk4 cab didnt like that at all so got shot and bought my first rs black f reghad that a while crashed it fixed it sold it bought a corsa c which was jap inspired looked like this the first time i done it lol before i changed it to the porsche riviera blue with glitter flake








spent a fortune on that written it off and got fook all back then bought a escort cos rep had that a while didnt like it cos u could tell it was a rep bought a white frst j plate sold that 2 years ago made a nice profit for a change bought my escort gti and a pug gti

nice one alan cheers,
the colour is odd on the evo, i found a pic of an AA one painted pink and it looks shit so youve made a good choice

 

no probs fella if it looks shite when its finished im gonna nitromorse it and go a different route lol i think silver would of looked better but time will tell

 

My first car was a mk1 rs 2000 avo , all original with paperwork ,
body wise she was as clean as the day it was built but underneath all the floor and sills needed replacing and at 17 years old i didnt know where to start so i swapped it for a mk1 fiesta 1300 sport and 600 quid.
The 1300 sport was then part exed for a mk1 fiesta xr2 which was a fantastic car , that was then part exed against a mk3 xr3i with a full rattlesnake kit and twin headlight conversion.
Couldnt get insured on it at Ł1300 for six months....lol
to be honest i didnt like it as it leaked like a dodgy waterpipe!
This was swapped for a mini clubman which was modded but had a gearbox that sounded like a drowning cat.
Swapped this and Ł200 for my first mk2 escort 1.1 popular.
This was written off by someone rear ending me so i bought my first mk2 1600 sport , then a mk2 mexico , and then the mk1 1300gt.
Owned all three for a while then sold the 1300gt to my brother who still has it.
The 1600 sport and mexico then followed when my son was born and we got a mk4 orion which soon donned a full rs kit twin headlight conversion and saff coss rear spoiler
had the orion fgor 2 years and loved it!
Bought a mk5 rs2000 had that for a year .
Than a renault sceanic (piece of shit)
than 318 bmw
subaru wrx sti (written off not my fault)
another 318 bmw (written off last year)
now we have a 2003 bmw 328i which is a nice car! (quick aswell)
i am just about to seal a deal for a mint mk1 escort estate thats been zebarted and garaged its whole life ,
watch this space...lol

 

Just had a nice parcel turn up, the 2 new Ford Capri 1:18 models and 2 Sierra Cosworth 1:18 models (minichamps).
I will be taking the engines out of the Sierra`s so maybe selling them on, they are all brand new so if anyone is after a brand new Sierra model (boxed) let me know, (1black, 1 white)
Think I will modify the Blue Capri lol

 

jesus mate thats quite some history me n u are a unique league both having owned a rattlesnaked escort lol

look forward to seeing the mk1 estate

 

what will you ba after for the black sierra mate

 

Make me an offer mate, remember its brand new and boxed, only missing engine

 

yeah the rattlesnake was an original from the factory aswell had the limited edition badges on it , forgot what they said now but it had the actual name of the kit on the badges , i remember them because some little shite nicked one and i had murders getting a new one.
to be honest though i thought it looked awsome but the mk3 escorts were heaps of shit and leaked everywhere! always had a puddle in both footwells and the sunroof leaked like there was just a hole there...lol
with saying that i saw both a mint mk3 xr3 and 1600i last week on the same day both red!
cant wait to get the estate , found it by pure luck , i was telling dave the other day.
went to a job and there sitting there looking all gorgeous was the estate.
turned out the guys i went to see were replacing the garage door on this guys garage and they had to move her out the way , i asked the guys to forward my number to the owner but didnt hear anything for a couple of weeks , then saw one of them and asked about it and they said the guy is going in to a home because he has altzhimers and his stuff is being cleared out in the new year so have arranged to see him after xmas.
the guys rekon he will probably let me have it rather than see it get towed to the knackers but will see him alright for it.
it really is concourse condition and would go for good money as is!

 

dont laugh my cars aint been high performance i like cheap insurance also i lost my licence for 6 months for 12 points which made it hard to keep the price of driving down and these date bk 15 years lol also always had a bike so had to run 2 motors and had a boat

 

nice work albo i need to get mine to shine like this

 

Alangti: I remember your old silver corsa from many moons ago i think, mainly around the multi storey in boro and teeside park, i used to have the white r5gtt and the silver 172. Do you have any pics of the rattlesnke escort? as one of my mates from boro sold his pink one, and i dont think there is many about?

 

it was like christmas come early today when i got home and had these bad boys waiting for me the xr3 is the one i raidded the piggy bank for as wanted it for ages
