rodney 17 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Nope you're not wrong. My old boy used to rally a mk1..... RS. That was when I got into Lotus twin cam and big Fcuk Off carbs with trumpets all that induction sound from the carbs...and the single box zorst which when on song is what the pearly gates sound like as they open to let you in... It just well sings..........Up and down Cibies ........ DroooollllllllllHowever the tin worm is a killer. Prices are high and you would not sleep if you left it on a road/carpark/ non secure fortress....But cool as mustard and I will have one one day when I can afford a big enough garage...

Focker-out 0 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 A mate of mine has a "FEW" old Fords, a mk2 RS1800 being the top of the lot, he also has a mk2 cosworth track car, a mk1 rs2000 undergoing a focus st170 engine swap on throttle bodies , and a mint unrestored mk1 shell that awaits preparation, i have no idea how much money him and his ols man have thrown at them over the years but i know it would buy you a nice semi detatched house, his fathers words not mine.And after all that money none of them are currently driveable, they are cool as hell if you can afford one, bits are stupidly expensive for them now too Link to post Share on other sites
