heres mine ash black too ive had it almost 9 years i sometimes concider selling as i dont use it but can bring myself to advertise.

 

looks nice that mate. If it owes you nothing and you have space, keep her. 9 years is a long time and if you sell and make a mistake, you will not get that one back

 

thanks for the comment, the thing is eventually i will need to get rid if this or the focus rs mk2 it will be a hard decision whenever that comes. if not ill garage them both up. lol
ive also had a new gear gator, fusebox repair. i need to do the sump gasket then its back on the road this spring aftewr 3 years in the garage.

 

Keep the Escort

 

She is a wise woman matey.Just keep it.Us blokes need our toys.

 

Keep yours too.

 

Result!!!



Just been out to the car and checked the coolant and noticed some coolant had leaked onto the belts under the thermostate housing!! It has used hardly anywater since the cap has been done up tighter and I think this is where the last little bit was going.



I will nip that up at the weekend and job done

 

Met up with Petenofear and Leggy Pete today as we are all local.



Good to meet you guys, will have to do some local shows etc with the cars when the weather is better.

A couple snaps I took on my phone (poor quality) Petenofear, let me know if your happy for the video to go up, its not too bad as traffic was in the way?



petenofears new purchase











Very nice car



And this is Leggy Petes who is a bit of a bufty unlike me and petenofear haha











I didnt take any of mine but I am sure the other guys did. Its looking like its just rolled off a rally course.

First time I have been in any MK1 Focus RS and managed to go in a modded car and a standard car in one day back to back. Very capable car in standard form!! I can see why they hold so much respect, also very nice when you put a bit more boost under the bonnet!!! They both sounded really good, better exhaust note and engine sound than the Cossie in my eyes.

Good to meet up with you gents, post any pics you have on this if you like... I am happy for that video to go up as well Pete if you can get it on



Also, before this I removed my broken front splitter as it was trashed good and proper..



Photo of it before it was binned











All I can say is it looks hideous without a splitter. I have left the hockey sticks on as they are riveted on so just need to buy a carbon fibre splitter and get it on. I will do that when the sun comes out. Its so nice having a car that can go over anything over 1 inch in height again

 

Little video of the Escort. Met a few local guys with MK1 Focus RS's who wanted to see what the Cossie was all about
