Love it!!! Just been looking at them for sale, they are shooting up in price! Not as much as 3-door Mk1s though!

Prices are going up. I don't think they will ever be worth as much as the 3dr. Plan was to get an escort cosworth but we are moving now so that's on the back burner for a while. Glad you like.

One of my all time favourite cars, especially in that combination! I'm a huge Ford fan, especially if it has a Cosworth badge on it (Scorpio being the exception!!)
The other car is a Ford, Grand C Max.
The wife chose it. It's her car, not mine!
I used to keep a bike for my personal bit of fun, but haven't had one for the past couple of years.
We change cars every 4 years, and I've promised myself I will lend a hand in choosing the next car. I HATE driving that people carrier, so much.

Get a high powered estate. I REALLY don't see the advantage of people carriers over a car with a decent boot.
I will mate, if I can afford one. For the past 3 cars, we've financed and traded in at the balloon payment and then got another Ford. But as we've had kids, the cars have got less and less interesting.
This current car is 2 years old. So 2 more years to go. There is nothing nice about driving it....seriously not one thing. Well the air con is nice in the summer. There I found 1 thing.

Ah yeah, that's how they get you! I got my last car on lease, 2 years then got rid, would do it again.
Yeah, I will lease my next one I think. I've been in the trap for a good while now.
To be perfectly honest I was thinking about getting a pimp, black range rover sport. They fall out of bed second hand, and you can get a really nice one for the same money as I paid for the Ford, but about 3 years old.
I know people hate em, but I quite enjoy driving like an A hole.

I wish I had loads of disposable income...I haven't checked my Euro Millions lottery ticket yet.
If I've won, I'm buying a Ferrari and a helicopter....and a boat, a big one!!

I've got my commercial, but I don't use it. My work van is provided to me, a Dispatch.
My car used to be a Renault Sport Clio 197 (hence the username) but I now have a Mazda 3 MPS and a Peugeot 307 HDi for the missus to get about in.

I've had a 182 and a 200. Awesome cars.
Would have had a 6 MPS too if they did them as estates, really like the mazdas. You got the aero kit on yours?

My toy is a 1992 Impreza Type-RA lightweight that's been a little bit fiddled with...
I love it to bits on the twisty stuff, but the really, really short ratio gearbox is a swine on main roads! 4200rpm at 70mph makes for a boring motorway journey!!
On twisty stuff it is absolutely savage!
Saying that, I've only driven it 5 times in the last year!! 🙁

I do like these very much! Some nice examples on the boat when my R32 came over.
I had an r32gtr, what a machine. only thing was every time you drove it your wallet would shrink. Which one did you have?
Ain't that the truth!!! Lovely motors though and the fastest thing I have ever driven, including two wheels.

Nothing will empty your wallet faster than a ropey, high mileage Alfa Romeo!
But hey look lovely!

They do, sounds nice for a four pot too! Wanted a V6, but they were thin on the ground! Despite the knocks, clunks and rattles it makes, its a dream to drive after being stuck in my van since before christmas!!
I have no sympathy, why an Alfa? always breaking down. Italians are more interested in good food and wine. I think they have got it right.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment! I don't use the car very often, so I wanted something that I actually want to drive, for £1000 I had the choice of this, Mondeos, Vectras, Passats etc! I can live with a little extra maintenance and cost if it means I get some enjoyment!
It'll do me for now until I can afford a proper car!

Yes know where your coming from. My every day car is a BMW 320D tourer, very efficient, cheap tax, reliable. My play car is a Toyota MR2 MKll 16year old expensive tax, not fuel efficient but totally reliable and great fun. Just have to remember not to do big shopping trips in the MR2.
R

I'd have had something like an MR2 in a flash, but I needed room for four people as my missus has a Citroen C1 to get her back and forth to work and going out as a family in that is far from fun!
This was the best compromise of practicality and enjoyment I could get for the money!

Not a C1, you can barely get a pint of milk in the boot. Agree if you have family MR2 not the best option. My babes are all grown up. Great when the boy gives me a lift to the pub and back again.

I was very very tempted to buy one of these a few years ago. White with a yellow stripe running over the bonnet to the wing mirrors. about 19k if i remember right for a 2 yr old.
Ended up buying a 3 litre V6 406 coupe because she liked it better. That was a decent car too.

Never understood the mixture of range rover and sport, messes up 2 lovely ideas into one vehicle that can't do either. omho. Even worse range rover evoque or what ever they are, even hairdressers dont want those!
R
R1CKY
Whats to understand? There is clearly a market for them and Land Rover seem to be making a fortune from them. The Evoque is actually a really nice car, I don't know why they made it 4WD though, Land Rover must know that 95% of them will never leave tarmac.

Wet dream
Can see you have never driven one there great . And the evoque will most likly be my next motor may not suite some but I love them
