      My first ford was a 1.1 fiesta (although first car was a light blue 85'nova saloon) and it snowballed from there XR2s XR3s RS turbos usual route. Being from a more vechicle dominant family I suppose I could'nt miss. I started of work in a garage working on Hino lorries also Isuzu all japanese stuff back in the 80's.

        Same as most, dad always had fords so followed with 1st car cortina then mk1 escort couple of xr3i's then saw a mk1 rs2000 at an auction which was mint and i got it for £750. Applied for log book and it came back for different car, lucky for me all tags been removed so kept it on age related plate. Next car was s1 which i owned for 8 years and now Luca owns and then my current escos which i have owned for 10 years so proper into me RS now

                I grew up in a family run garage and one of my cousins had an S1 RST when they were new , i said from the moment i saw it that i'd have one and sure enough my fisrt ford was an S1 turbo , also one of our customers had a mercury grey S2 when i was about 13 , guess what my second fast ford was....... lol

                    Aged 19 I had a 106 gti. I wanted something different so bought a series 1. The rest is history.

                      Seeing the 3 doors when I was younger, a black one in particular was a right old dog with a V6 Granada engine in it after the Cosworth one was stolen, how it looked and how loud it was always made me want one.
                      I would love a super, super mint white/moonstone 3 door now

                                when i was 18 the hot hatches i could afford was either a mk2 xr2 or a 205 gti

                                preferred the pepperpots and the bodykit so xr it was,
                                between that and going up to knockhill for hothatch sundays and drooling over rs turbos and cosworths it kind of took off from there
