It's a beauty Tel. Wish I ****ing owned it!

Well, technically you wouldn't want to own that one, it's CGI so it doesn't exist, but it's stunning nonetheless to look at.

There'll be one or two out there, still in pristine condition, or restored to immaculate standards, it'll set you back a bit mind.

I could look at it all day, a bit like this mk2, or the Hoonigan one Ken Block owns.

Certainly were, they were lethal. Couldn't take a bend at speed.

Tiny wheels not in the corners right, wanted to go straight I guess.

Everything is too sensible now man, them new Golf R's, incredible motors drove one in Marbella, but just too technical, everything fixes itself.

Old Fords, you ****ed up you where on your own, same with the 5's, AXGT etc. They were such good fun man. Like I say I prefer driving my 12 year old car to my 2 year old car even if the new one is clearly a far better motor. People think I'm daft but if I wanna do summat daft in a car, that should be my choice!

My second car was a Mk1 ford escort. Had about 7 keys on my keyring. Everyone opened the bloody car up!!! <doh>

My mate had a yellow one just like this in 1986 and it was like **** off a stick too. They don't make cars like this anymore and some would say thank god. I say what a shame.

I'd have love to have had summat like that mate a Mark 1 or 2. My dad had a Mexico, Mark 2 I'm sure, it was just the best thing ever to look at, yellow with black decals.

I'd have one now but the cost is outrageous! Still look incredible with the tiny wheels and the proper angry looking front end. Ford know there **** like.
 
posted earlier that my favourite car was my XR3i, my first ever car was a mini 1275GT, that was the car i learned to drive in and had loads of races with my mates round town in that.
 
Two choices, you sit on the back of John McGuinness's bike for one lap round the Manx TT course

Those who say 'thank god' should be forced to walk everywhere.
 
Only one car gives me a boner. .......

A red Porsche 911 GT3 RS

493 horses. 0 to 62 in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 193 mph would certainly leave a turd in my pants!

Of all the motors I drove when I lived in Spain, Porsche probs the best, never got near a GT3 though.

Actually preferred the Carrera to the Turbo, just a bit more mechanical. I'd not buy a Ferrari or owt like that, but I'd 100% have a Porsche.

You're a lucky guy! I've never even been a passenger in a Porsche, let alone drive one. I was hinting to our lass the other day that I'd love to do a track day in one.

Sadly, I don't think she took the hint.......

Bugger!

Done a few of them mate, they are far cheaper than they used to be, the Virgin ones are from £99!

You wanna pay the "200plus ones though get some proper time in the car.

I'd divorce my wife if she suggested that owning a car like that would make any difference to the world.

My mate lives out in the middle east, he drives a massive Ford truck, it does about 7 mpg but it only costs him £6 to fill his tank up. Winner.
They reckon that blokes who dream of driving monster sized fuel guzzling cars are subconsciously trying to compensate for being lacking in other areas.<whistle>
