Soldato
My old man had a Mk.III 2000E, blue with a black vinyl roof. Used to love going out in that thing, thought it was the bees knees because it had the two shield badges on the front wings.
I'd have thought size wise a focus isn't far off a replacement.I just hope they replace the Mondeo with something else. Absolutely refuse to have one of those crossover abominations.
It's no where near as big. Boot is a lot bigger on the Mondeo, also better equipped. Also wider inside with more legroom in the back.I'd have thought size wise a focus isn't far off a replacement.
However... not wanting to be the bad guy, but just wondering if I'm in the minority that thought the ending was completely unnecessary and unwarranted?
(The end with the guys, not the end of the car)
Yeah the ending ruined the whole thing. Fake tears from Clarkson, nonsense. Makes much more sense to do it that way anyway.You aren't.
It felt like a touching "end" to the show but the show isn't ending, it still continues just without the audience

Talk about some god level BS and bait&switch.
The thing that surprised me most was the RS 500 Cosworth and the way they treated it - just like any other press loan car, I can only guess the owner didn’t mind / care although given its rarity, they only made 56 white RS 500’s and very much less than that survive to this day - and assuming it’s a real one, it’s worth a fortune and I wouldn’t have wanted it treated like that we’re it mine!
I loved the fact it beat a Lamborghini Countach of it’s era around the track which shows what a performance bargain they were in their time, still, I was very surprised it got the full beans....
I can only assume so, but, say something catastrophic happened (it came close to a good whack on a few corners I thought) it’s one thing to repair damage but quite another if it’s an RS 500 specific part which breaks / gets bent which are getting rarer and rarer these days.I am wondering if an Amazon level budget gives a bit more freedom on the Sierra / Countach runs as they can probably afford to fix any issues that arrise from doing such a run/service any parts that would have been under extra stress from such a run?

What they said in the film about them getting away from the police was so true though :s I remember seeing the cops try to stop one once on the Ilminster bypass - put his foot down and just gone - cops didn't even have a chance.
I don't see what the problem is with letting cars strech their legs, surely thats what they are desingned for and i've heard stories (possibly just myths) that some cars that have never gone past say 50% max revs have issues.Few of my friends cars in the episode as well apparently, the Sierra Estate for one.
We have an RS500 in the ford club and he drives it like that, in fact i know very few people that don't like to have fun in their classic fords. Guy with the RS200 takes his on track days.
