this car is perfect. sometimes i wish i had something like this rather than a full on stripped out car. bet this will be lovely to drive.
A stripped out caged car doesn't make a great road car but pays dividends on track, horses for courses and all that. In an ideal world we'd all have both.

The big test came last night when I asked the wife to drive it home as I'd had a drink, she hates old noisy misbehaving cars.... She loved it and felt right at home driving it, she has zero interest in driving the Escort!!
Anyhow, I washed the engine bay last night and now it looks way nicer..
Sits nice doesn't she?...
Couple of pics while it was clean...
Pic from the trip to Marks, heated screen works mint!!!

You really do have the best of both worlds, one practical (the fact its a 500 makes it that bit sweeter), and one for caning the spuds off (that happens to be able to break the double ton) Jammy git (feeling a tad jelous right now)
Martin Could'nt you get some clever photoshopper to play with the billboards behind so your companys names on?? I think it would look good. One billboards already right.....full on fast!
i think it looks awsome but i think the centre caps need painting the correct silver to the wheels they look a little off colour wise, not sure on the painted black RS in centre either!
Cant quote your reply its playin up! Lol
But yes was a good meet, most people ive seen there in a while mate. You gunna have a trip to the next one in it??
The dash is not my cup of tea and Id defo be going for the early Mk2 item as I think it'd suit the car better. The only other thing Id change is the centre caps on the wheels, Im not liking the RS in them.
Will it be at Croft so we can all have a look at it in the flesh??
