Nah, what would you do without the load rating debate 
I wish i'd of kept my XR2, same year as that one and just as mint.

Looks like you had a good day.

I had 2 XR2s an 86 and 88....I also had a Strada......it was a good but has made me contemplate
Had old shape XR2 then new shape XR2 then an all white XR3 thought I was the dogs do darrs . Build quality was crap and alloys started to peel in 12 months but the moved up to a Capri wow now that was a long bonnet lol. Not good in winter either
rear wheel drive.
I had 2 Capris, both MK II, both had slabs in the back over winter - my dream car back then was a Capri 2.8i but well out of my price range lolHad old shape XR2 then new shape XR2 then an all white XR3 thought I was the dogs do darrs .

It probably still is now.
Yeah we had 2 bags of sand in the boot which of course meant could not get any shopping in it lol. My brother in law had the 2.8i white nice car but was stolen twice, the locks were poor.
... T6 is here... and still a trusty friend of that old T5 ...
, now 22 years 
- so is my youngest son 
I had an XR2 like that, bought it straight out of the showroom, it was one of the first to come out. Loved it and had it ten years before getting rid of it.
@T6180 you want to talk to @andythom188, and see if he'll sell you his seriously tricked out Escort Cossie, that never sees the light of day.So tempted to sell the T6 today...and go back to old skool

I had an Xr2 mk1 in black. Looked nice, but ran like a dog. My mate had the Escort Cosi, in the same colour as the one above. He spent some money on it, and it was probably the fastest car i`ve ever been in.
I don`t miss the old cars though. I could n`t afford much, and everything I had was noisy, unreliable rubbish.
So, what new car would you buy now, and park up for later ? I`ve heard some Focus Rs are already fetching good money

Don't us Brits just love old fast fords!!!!!
My Dream car, a 1968 Mk1 Escort

Lol, I had one of those as well. Absolute garbage. Mk2 was a bit better, but not much. Mk3 ex royal mail van, what a solider that was.
i'm a big believer in its now become a generation thing, my lads can't tell the difference between a mk1 and a mk2 escort but my generation who rallied the pants of them in the forests and tarmac crave for them, and they are fetching silly money, but for how long? I struggle to see any modern day cars achieving cult status, all ford are doing with the rs focus is a limited addition model of the same car!! I've watched mk1 rs turbo customs double in price in the last 2 years
done many a rally in one of those and a mk2 and a sunbeam and a sapphire cosworth and a escort cosworth and a metro 6r4 the list goes on
Oh don't say that......, I've never had one, but always loved the idea of one. If they were like the MK2's within 3 years they had rusted away
Into a it of tarmac rallying then @chriscroft
Had an Escort harrier loved that and a MK3 we called preston ( bit of a dog)

That is one cool list of Motors
