I did Andy, biggest mistake car wise I've made, I only had her 8 months too.....last time I saw it, it was on eBay chavved to bit's

Must confess it does look like a lovely car, shame it got chavved up

[LiamT4]

Yeah you're more than welcome to keep trying if you want to match the latest expenditure .. lol

I could go a bit higher, but I need to save 1k for a daily, there's no way i'd want to subject your car to the indignity of being a daily mode of transport

[stribo]

Technically it wasn't, I part ex'd a 2litre ghia x Mondeo for the Golf which I bought new in Sept 2005, at the time we didn't have the need for 2 cars.

Does Martin know you owned a Ford, he wouldn't approve.

Tbf I don't think it's been a daily for around 8 years now although I did choose to drive it over the c/car this morning for a change and it was one of the best drives I've had to work in a long time

Why? Surely as a Starlet owner he can hardly criticise, plus there have been some great Fords in the past

trying to boost its value

I don't want to use something like an s70r or 850r as a daily, would like to keep it for dry days.

errr no!

Tbh it makes it more of an occasion when you don't use it on a daily basis I'll give you that

You'd think wouldn't you lol.Yeah, I love Fords, have mostly had Fords before getting into Volvos.

When I had my t4, I had an audi 80 at the same time and the audi was a lovely cruiser. When driving it, you just wanted to cruise around listening to music, then you got in the t4 (mildly modded) and it had such a different personality, it just felt eager to go as soon as you touched the throttle.

Is now a bad time to admit I want an Escort RS Turbo because I miss my old Orion turbo
