Once upon a time I quite fancied an Xr3 convertible :-[ that said, I also thought that it might be sensible to shave my head and grow a goatee ::)

The pictures in the dark were better ::)

Something wrong with the little Rover if *any* Escort outhandles it. Or outperforms it (similar engined models). I will say, my little Rover was at its best on P6000 tyres, Kuhmo KU31 were also pretty good but lacked feedback.

+1 that little rover should run rings around the Escort handling wise :y

Also the cabby has upper and lower strut braces as standard,rover is ok,but if i want to hit the twisty roads it would be the cabby,i know i can push it to its limit and it wont let go,rover is just a 2nd car,for doing work stuff in etc  :y
