Next we have, mk2 granada hearse from the 08 season, a 1960's ford taunus that we got from holland and raced in '07, and a mk2 consul that was raced way back in 2003.
lol wtf are you racing Dan? 
Has that Mondeo or whatever it is been on BarryBoys website? Sure i have seen it on there if not it really should be :P
full of retarded drivers ??
speaking of which, im quite the ford fan myself ( the european rubbish, not the american )
few mates have sierras so they great fun, would love a 1.3 mkIII fezzy
I've posted up in the "my ride" section, so thats probably why you seen it. I was just curious about what kind of reception it would get. Overall, they said they did'nt like it, but they did'nt find it disgusting or offensive, so im happy.
They all agreed to get rid of the bright silver mesh and the wing though. Thats since been sorted though.
As far as north american ford being crap, probably now, but before 1998, nope, best damn vehicles my family ever owned.
The last good vehicle my family owned was a 1996 ford E-150 extended. It was my Dads work truck. Damn thing was a tank, it even sounded like one on the highway. The little I got to drive it before it was scrapped, it was like driving a much bigger car, handeled pretty decently for a van. Definately not great handeling though.
After the very little repairs and work that it took to keep that truck going I was realy sad to see it go to the scrappers. The only thing that killed it was getting sideswiped by a driver that fell asleep at the wheel, he took out the side doors with his SUV, funny enough, the SUV wasn't drivable afterward, but the van was. The insurance wrote the van off because of age.
Now we own a POS chevy express 3500. The only nice part about it is the 6.5l turbo diesel, the electronics that control it suck, the differental sucks (who puts an open dif on a truck!?), the whole van sucks. Its already cost us nearly $10000 in repairs, and we've only had it for about four years.
Would have been better using the $16000 it cost (used) at the dealer to repair the ford, rebuilt engine and all.

Hehe the Mondeo would be so much better if it was a sleeper
no kit no clue . I like the wheels on it just a shame they make your disk look as big as the ones on my DH mountain bike heheThe Rs Turbo on the other hand as long as its standard shell is more like it
. Friend of mine has a series 1 Escort RST conquerors, which spends most its life in a car cocoon but to be fair its probably one of the best examples in the UK with very little miles its simply stunning Hehe, i like sleepers but i suspose i've grown acustomed to the way the mondeo looks now. I will have to get some fresh pictures of it once i've finished doing some small jobs to it. The pics that i posted are of when my brother owned it. Since i've owned it, its had a supercharger kit fitted (needs a remap though, which is on the cards), GAZ coilovers and springs all round, polybushe's etc and Brembo brake kit (320mm on front, 280mm on the rear) and there really good.
. Also ripped that hideous wing of and changed the mesh for grey. There still some stuff i would like to do to it, but atm, its staying the way it is.As for the escort, yes it's an original RST shell. It's had some welding done to it by me, as i bought really cheap, and it was a right knacker.
. Its tidy now though, and it's coming of the road soon to have a possible zetec conversion, which should be fun. 
now that is a good looking car
Quite out of place in this thread me think, but I do really love Fords. I just happen to drive a newer and slower one
