Some quick piccys of the XR2

My XR2 was a year younger than me :( (1985 C)

She was absolutely mint (rust and body wise) bar the tiny bit of rust by the drivers headlight, and had only done 68k. Damn this thread I want another one :( :mad:

Fair enough :) I find it hard to believe that E reg cars are nearly 20 years old, it seems so soon since they were new :eek: :( Damn good cars.

Don't know how my car ends up in every thread even when I don't mention it but never mind. Took mine up on the winding North Yorkshire moorland roads yesterday. It was absolutely awesome and never once did I wish I was in an old Fiesta. Cornered amazingly well and then shifted on on the straights and had the power to overtake whenever there was a suitable straight ;)

Although like I said, what is my car doing in this thread anyway :confused:

I hadn't thought about it previously but I just realised that your bimmer only has 150bhp/tonne.

Ouch.

Just out of curiosity Fox, what spurrs you on to post in a thread that clearly doesn't interest you? Before I met you I couldn't understand you and thought you were an egotistical forum warrior, then I met you and my mind completely changed and now that I know the tone in which you say things, re-reading some of your posts allows me to understand them and take the majority with a handful of salt.
However your first 'contribution' to this thread seems totally meaningless and only make you looks like the egotistical forum warrior I once thought you were.
As I said, I like you and i'm not having a bash, I just want to understand why you do and say things sometimes?
 
In fairness isn't a 1.6 carb XR2 about 100 bhp ;) And 0-60 in around 9.5 secs. (I seem to remember my Sierra 2.0iS being faster)
 
The bmw design is rather newer. Sorry but why are we playing defend and pick holes in the BMW. Who cares about fox's bmw in this thread its about a xr2.

Because Fox felt the need to post in the thread and denegrate the XR2? :p
 
Hey lets not turn this into a thread about comparing an 18 year old car to a 5 year old BMW. They are both in different leagues as far as im concerned. No offence to Fox, but i dont think he understands why people buy old cars. Ignornace is bliss :) Anyways, a lot of people have asked me how i can downgrade from my old Turbo Rover to this.. well i can tell you one thing, i can safely say the rover handles like a boat in comparrison :) Ive always wanted one ever since my old man had XR3's etc. :) I was 2 when this car was made :( lol

120bhp isn't too difficult to achieve from a CVH...
