antogoof- how did u find it??

yeah sorry bud for the late reply, it was on pistonheads and i was just browsing, im always on the lookout for a bbm and the first thing i noticed was the colour, then the reg. then i nearly jumped out of my chair! it was only 20 miles away from me, so i sold my other mk2 to my brother and went and got it.

i wasnt really looking for a car though and i couldnt really afford it, so i had to be a bit savvy with it, ive gotta sell bits off it to try and make some money back cause the missus was not happy :shocked:

stroke of luck that i found it really, i had to sell it when the old motor went pop and i lost my job, that was in 2006, but i was hooked and i swore id have another blue, never thought it would be the same car tho! :smiley:
mk2 bright blue met bits wanted in north west.

If I could have an old car back, it would be either my 1990 MK2 GTi 16v (better than an 8v slow boat  :tongue:) or my 1998 Escort GTi 16v, which I prefer over my MK4.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

Blasphemy  :grin:

Although I know they weren't bad cars to drive, I was never happy about an Escort wearing a GTI badge.  Luckily it didn't hang around too long and Ford stuck to their own names again.

Cant find a pic of my old valver, but I think that was probably my all time favourite.

Or perhaps this just for its character:

This was my solid mk3 that Ian Birchs run Dubsport sorted for me and before he sold the business on. Great car in the twisties but still slow the rest of the time. No rot 96,000 on the clock and was still super tight and was wrote off within a year of selling it.

My MK5 that was sold to buy a camper that never materialised and still looking out for a van to convert :lipsrsealed:

And then. This. Best NA car I've ever driven that's cheap to buy insure and fuel.
