Amazing to think less than 30 years ago they were putting 1.1 engines in what nowadays is Focus class.

I dont' think you can get less than a 1.4 Fiesta now, Focuses a 1.6.

nope i never fitted it sam story with the egr blanking plate i bought, so im selling them with the car, so if the new owner wants to fit it then they can.
i simply cant afford to run, tax and insure the pug any more so bought the escort and it works out far cheaper to run for a year than the pug.

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

I think the black pepperpots look cool, especially with the retro white lettered tyres.

It's a lot more imaginative than the usual stream of golf diesels.

my uncles mk4 not the worst car ive ever been in, its quite fast but there is something i find really annoying about it, its missing a bit of something to make me like it.

Your wee escort looks class, im a big fan of the straight lines of the 80s cars then looked much sharper.

theres something good about an older car less stuff to interfere between the car and driver.
