Hi guys, as i mentioned in another thread the Kandos Rylstone Street Machine and Hot Rod Show was on over the weekend and i want one or either of these vehicles

This is a 5.8L Supercharged Ford Escort RS2000, the same as mine, except mine doesnt have a V8 in it.

If you want a car that yellow - get a Defender 90.

I would love one of those to, but Ford really hit the nail on the head with the BA, damn its a fine looking car.

And yes they do go bloody well for a two litre. I am thinking about a Ford Focus Zetec engine for mine, and do away with the carby 2ltr. Apparently it is a very cheap conversion. Matt

goes faster than a zirtec?

I hope so, the Zetec will just make it more driveable everyday, the carby and the old points system is just a pain in the arse. Matt

Its in pretty good nick, there is very little if any rust that i can find. However i have begun remiving the paint etc for a bare metal respray, and a couple of the panels are pretty beaten up under all the bog some tool smeared on there. It will take some work, but it will end up looking like a million bucks. I will see if i can get some pics on. Matt

AAAHH for speed give me a motorbike any day, much bigger adrenalin rush and at a fraction of the price and FORD don't make or have anything to do with motorcycles, it's probably why they are so reliable style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[DEFENDERZOOK]

i may end up seeing it soon enough.

i got a original rx2 serIII 12a ready for resto......................

some time in my retirement by the looks of things according to time and dollars.


or i might just get frustrated enough and get rid of it like i did the piston version i had.

both were two owners before me.. both women drivers

[Redback]

A Capella is it, i like the Capella very fast motor car anything that can blow a V8 to the weeds is great in my books and the Capella will do that with ease style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

ive had capellas ever since i got my licence.
the only reason i got a new car (lurch) is because i didnt have time to change a head gasket. plus the wife whinging about my always owning old cars. i had to buy a NEW car sooooo............ i got one that LOOKS old.
she was impressed!! welcome lurch.

after the rego ran out on the capella it sat there and started to get cancer.
after about six months of this my cousin wanted the RX2 but that wasnt gonna happen.........so i said take the capella. its almost ready for rego now...rust has been fixed, engine has been changed with my old one(bored out 60 thou),and the brakes need to be checked...then its blue slip time. both of them are the series III '76 with figure 8 tail lights and pointy front end with dual headlights.

now i got a mortgage bigger than ben hur and a 4wd i need to do up.
RX2 is still waiting...............

[Redback]

Totally understand mate, shame the Capella is an awesome car.

As for owning a british or itailan brand vehicle, well let me start with a mini 850 and Cooper S, Austin A30 great car, 1961 Austin Cambridge, Morris Major Elite, Vanguard Spacemaker, 1970 ex police triumph 650 trophy, Triumph 750 Tiger and BSA 175 Bantum, BSA 650 Lightning and Ducati 500 Pantah, Laverda Jota 1000, Laverda RGS 1000, an ALFA 33 AND my latest bike a KTM 400 Austrian, i am not a one brand person i drive what suits me at the time and what thrills me too. Just to name a few :wink:

No BMW's amongst that lot. Now there's a funny breed of people. BMW riders are the Volvo owners of dthe motor cycle trade.
And Harley Davidson owners........ major identity issues there.
The song by Paul Norton where he sings "bought a Harley changed my behavior" couldn't be closer to the truth. Many a mild mannered accountant going through a mid life crisis has bought a Harley, a couple of weeks later he's got the cut of shirt, fingerless gloves and on his way to the tattoo shop. 8) 8) or tosser style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

If i was into bikes, i wouldnt be riding one of the Jap blowfly things, you need somthing which sounds like a real bike, like a Ducati or a triumph, now i will agree, they are nice bikes. Matt

I met a bloke at work, he was just returning from a 2 year ride on his BMW all around South America (Che Guevara style). What an adventure :!: And when he rides the bike here at home, he'll be able to remember where it's been with him. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Evidently I needed to stress that part.

Bimmer bikes do little for me.

I went through the same thing with the escort, i contemplated selling it so that atleast some one could do it up. In the end i decided to keep it, as it took me so long to find one. I have started to do it, but things have come to a stop, money issues. Matt

Kids = fun sponge's, no more fun for mum an dad.
Kids = blood sucking leach's on the wallet, no more money for mum an dad. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

But then the same applies to wifes....Don't tell her I said that..... :oops:
