Nice! Don't see too many 2.5s around

I was at Silverstone in the early 90s when someone parked up in a 190 EvoII. Don't think I've ever seen a car get so much attention. There was an Alfa SZ across from it but everyone just seemed to make a bee-line for the Merc

My RS500 fully modified one from standard cost me in excess of 50K only standard thing left was shell, when sold took nearly a year and went to Norway for 19K, that was about 5 years ago.
Now have CSL and what a car to drive

The rs2 gives me more motoring pleasure than any car I have owned since I was a kid.
Whenever I take it for a spin people love it, the response is a amazing

Is that a bit of dirt i see on the n/s/f tyre

**grumps** · 13-08-2011, 09:41 PM

I had a series 1 rst and i seem to remember if you hit a round about real quick and backed of it was like a mk1 in the wet , i loved my escorts! the main difference with modern cars is you are going a lot quicker for the same fun.
