Banana Man 0 Posted June 8, 2003 didn't notice the under 150bhp :shock: whoops!!! :D How about the mk1 and mk2 fiat uno turbo's then they were under 150 in standard form not my cup of tea but still fairly quick!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted June 8, 2003 Lucky europeans!!!!!!!! I live in the US ant the only escort ford sells is slow and we may have got 1 turbo. Not that I'm complaining about ford (I'd rather drive my old Diesel Rabbit). But you get all the cool cars; Ren. Pug. Lotus, damn. Oh but my fav is my 86 Mazda RX-7, 1.3 rotary, fuel injection, about 145bhp, and REAR WHEEL DRIVE!! (Brodies are fun.) :turn-l: Difference is that you guys can afford to pick up excellent old V8 powered trucks & cars whereas over here you have to be a millionaire to keep something like that on the road!! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skid 1 Posted June 8, 2003 I will stick to the old school classics of the Dagenham type. 1)Ford mkII Escort RS 2000. :) 2) Escort Harrier 8) 3) i know its a bit older but who could resist a Escort Twin cam(lotus) :evil: That will do for now as i spent most my time passing everything on the bike :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6storm 0 Posted June 8, 2003 ps...........seat ibiza's are vw-group so don't qualify :wink: The original Seat Ibizas weren't, but I s'pose you're right on that. true......but then again you did say the 2nd seat ibiza's :wink: .........and if i remember rightly the hot-hatch first ibiza's were the 1.5sxi and the 1.7 sportline and i'm pretty sure the sportline was one of the first(first generation ibiza's with vw-group input).....although when the ibiza was first on the go they made a big deal about having "system porsche" engine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majik 0 Posted June 8, 2003 My favourites are: 1. Corrado (any) the muscular looks are unique no other car compares to the styling. 2. 205 Gti i had a 1.6 and the handling was superb very nimble and responsive, i had a limited edition sorrento green with full leathers as standard, power steering and black carpet. 3. Series one love the factory look 4. Golf clippers, doesnt everyone go through that phase :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
