Main thing was the torque, shed loads of it mmmmmmmmmmmm

Plod had been giving it beans to get to an RTA and crashed into the RTA:lol:lol:lol
Brilliant
Took me days n days to get the broody stickers off, sold it for a skiing holiday

I thought it was around the 200 mark but I didn't realise it was a 3 litre, I think there was a torquey diesel version too.

perhaps easier with a hose pipe, or power washer hehe.

seiously nice looking car, as cars go, got a friend with
estate, seems massive. sure these things have grown
over evolution. more like a granada than a cortina or
sierra if you follow.

very nice motor, they really shift. what engine is it? is it the TDI ST,, or the lovely V6?? if its the V6, those engines are based on my Mazda MX6 V6 engine I believe, absolutely superb, and torque is awesome. I have to say, I do get a LOT of Mondeo ST's having a go at me for racing (unfortunately for them my cars lighter and faster) but they seriously shift!

very nice car mate well done!
