chester copperpot Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Not getting it for a few months, but whats people's thoughts on this wee baby? Whats people's thoughts on this? Please take into account it aint going to be my first car, its a weekend only car. I was going to go for a 2 seater sports car, but TBH, I've had a love for Escorts since I was a youngster. I would be interested to hear what the younger generation think of this motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Atkinsons Microphone Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 So you dont like it then ASBO? It would look smart up at Crail racing!! If you are buying it for going to ASDA on a Sunday afternoon, don't bother. Get yerself a Reliant Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get yerself a Reliant Robin. A man (boy) that lacks class. IMO. Surely someone must like it. I have loved these cars all my life. Unfortunately its costing me more than it would to buy one new when they were first out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get yerself a Reliant Robin. The car itself is smart, although not with the horrible paint job, the chrome is a bit too bright but I would assume yours would look a bit more original Quite a fan of the late 70's, early 80's retro classics as long as they are not nedded up Quite fancy a Mk1 golf gti - original not a nedded up one - in either the gunmetal silver or red Need to wait a few years as no point in having that sort of car if you cannot afford to maintain it properly The early VW Sciroccos aren't too bad either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blairdin Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Not getting it for a few months, but whats people's thoughts on this wee baby? Whats people's thoughts on this? Please take into account it aint going to be my first car, its a weekend only car. I was going to go for a 2 seater sports car, but TBH, I've had a love for Escorts since I was a youngster. I would be interested to hear what the younger generation think of this motor. Love it mate... I'm almost 29, currently not driving because my licence has been medically revoked and am hoping to start driving again in December in something retro, assuming I stay healthy. My first car back will be: 1. Ford Capri 2. Ford Cortina 3. Mini (old one) or 4.

cotter Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 What about one of these? I got one a couple of months ago after a year with an MR2, I enjoyed the MR2 as before that I had an almera but the MR2 seems slow compared to the Integra. Not a bad car for just going A to B as well, 35ish MPG when driving normal. 20ish MPG when driving it like you are meant to. Edit: Cannae get the bloody image to work, google a UK spec Integra type R and see for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 The original RS2000 was a dream car for me when I was about 12. Never took to the next version, with the droop snout. By then, I was into these babies and would still have one if life allowed me that kind of a luxury in my spare time: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
