Got the RS out today for the first time this year  went down quite early to get it all sorted and checked to fire up and out the garage... filled her up and took a long drive up the west cost of scotland, even had a guy in a silver kitted corsa b shout "fords are pish ya waliper"  ... nearly sold it twice and swapped it during the winter but after enjoying it so much today i vow to never to let it go.
Took some pics as i came closer to home, taking the pics there was some fellas playing with those small engined remote control car things came over for a chat.. oddly enough one of the fellas new all the history of my car and even the past owners small world  , hes re building his s1 kitted escort cabriolet so exchanged numbers to meet once done for a few pictures or even a meet with some other scotland RS owners for a drive down south.
Good times

Been considering a set of them since i bought it mate, just for a wee change i guess but im still trying to justify spending on a set as it stored away most times.

YOU FUCKER MISTER C!!!
My shitbox languishes in the garage.
Glad the weather held out for you.
You can never sell it if you've driven it recently. Just not possible.
Should have BTCC nudged the abusive Corsa driver.

Point 1) I dunno why but that looks really good and I REALLY like it. Probably all the little 1600i nods make it look the car it should have left the factory as.
Point 2) Eck will go to any lengths including murdering the present owner to secure that plate for his Pug.

No, I had them priced up. I wanted the satin ones and they were cheaper for five brand new than most sets of four go for second hand now.
Diamond cut were a little dearer but not much.
