Ford RS200 EVO spec and prepared to works ford standard-just got this

Wouldn't mind seeing a few pictures of this...

Cracking car - what bhp is it running?

[andym172]

Hi Andy

I will be putting up some pictures in a couple of weeks as I am having some done professionally.

She was dyno'd the day I went to see her at 688bhp and on the second run 691bhp

I know the fella who owns half of the original moulds for the exterior panels. Have always thought it was a truly awesome car - sadly cut off in its prime...

Can't wait to see the pics

Ford RS200 EVO spec

Good to see that this has arrived & you are clearly enjoying yourself with it .

This sounds like you might be having a bit too much fun . Are these going into a magazine?

I admit that if I had one of these I'd get a video made of me hooning around some track and just have this on my TV / screensaver all the time, just like those log fire videos.........

ineedtheturbo,

Do you mind if I ask you how much you're forking out for insurance on your baby? Just curious .

I started with a 950 Fiesta (17), which got nicked and burnt out !
Moved onto a banana yellow Mini 1000 (20), brilliant car! Move over Mr. Bean!!
Got a 1.1 Fiesta after that til I got a new job that I had no need for a car until I bought an XR3i ! (25)
Chopped that in for a BMW AC Schnitzer 320i Coupe. (28)
Vectra 2.2 Sri 150 was next (30).
Now I've got my pride and joy; Silver VXT. (32)

y what price can i look forward to in a few yrs times?

Well, as your only 19 you can look forward to that sort of premium for at least the next 6 years!! I'm 32 now with 7 years NCB, a clean licence and I pay £531 with Direct Line

Maybe worth trying them, may save you a few quid but don't expect to pay what I do, it's hard enough to have a clean licence but it's even harder to keep it clean

One day, my young apprentice, you too will have the force

By the way, if you don't mind me asking, how the bloody hell at 19 can you afford a VX and pay 3 1/2 grand to insure it

You must be either f***ing loaded or you spend everything you earn on it

[ineedtheturbo]

your all so bloody nosey!! sold my clio to pay for the insurance and then got a loan to cover the car am paying it for the next 3 years all ok at the moment but not to sure how to pay it next year !! might have to sell it or hope 4 a pay rise! get to that bridge when i come 2 it! p.s whats bra size has your missus got ? p.p.s am only 18 not19!!
