sweet

i've run out of gripes for the time being :lol:

matty: was not aimed personally at you that comment, i just know people who owned fords, never complained, and now bitch and moan about them with their jap/french/german/etc cars :lol:

it doesn't say matty never complained? i have read your Si thread, twas a nice car

rallye still going?

and i occasionally drive a ka :cry:

which feels odd with a cable clutch :red:

and by that KA comment, being based on the 500, i meant couldn't ford have designed their own blooming car :lol:

didnt say the 500 is a bad car, i like 500's. The abarth is a mental bit of kit

i'm not a one marque blinded person, if i'm honest, at times my ST really pisses me off :lol:

and i was looking at EK9's but insurance and the cost of them compared to the brand new option was a put off

Id love to be able to keep it, but id never use it. So would be like having 2k sat on the drive.

Im putting the engine back in getting it MOT'd and then selling ASAP, I told my mum it would be gone by xmas.................. :hsugh:

Im putting it up for Â£2500 as it is low miles but id take Â£2200.

I think you'd find this thread would have more points to it if you renamed it to

"Things Ford shouldn't have done"

Put better brakes on every older ford, im mean 240mm solid disks on a 1.25 fiesta, i faded my old ones when pressing the brakes once at 60mph

240mm vented brakes on a 1.8 escort si... they never think people would drive a 'sports' model fast or somthing?

put a 2.0 zetec into an escort, should have made the SI a 1.8 and a GTI a 2.0. the car is so much nicer and easier to drive with a 2.0

as said, made the fiesta ST faster

should have made some kind of turbo mk5/6 escort

they should have rolled the arches on every 90's/00's fords, they rolled zetec-s ones, shoulda done it to all of them!

used the same sized bolts on every car, not whatever size will fit.

made a high powered front wheel drive engine that was easily put into every ford, like the 2.0 zetec with around 160bhp standard, so we could show these red tops what its all about.

theres plenty more, just cant think at the moment,
