If the RS1600 and twink are the only proper RS's How come they chose a crossflow to compete in the London to Mexico rally instead of the lotus twin cam or BDA? They didn't chose a Pinto either but that was coz it weighs the same as a type 49 shell.

dont know but ford obviously weren't thinkin straight... Jimmy Greaves drove one for gods sake

[Duke3s]

Proper RS's are getting a bit expensive so if someone puts in the time to make one from a base model then fair play in my book!

[FlashCadillac]

nothing wrong with it... i just dont like RS2000 stripes

[borneo]

It aint cool but each to there own. Making a high spec car look like a base model, sleeper style. That's cool!

[bomber1]

so will i get away with having a striped n caged mk1 on 1100L badges?

London-mexico rally was a P.R. stunt with celebrity drivers etc , they stuck an old x-flow in them because most celebrities woudn't know how to read the gauges on the dash !!!!!!!! . Also this then promoted Fords new hotted up model the "escort mexico" was is only a normal mk1 escort shopper model with a few micky mouse spot welded bits of old tin stuck on it . Also a pinto is only approx 10 kilos heavier than a x-flow which ain't worth worrying about , just chuck out the spare wheel instead

[Guest MK1gaz]

yes at 30 mph with tv crews and footballers driving = P.R. stunt so don't mean nothing

Hang on, I'm sure there were other manufacturers competeing in this rally? Even though the mexico took most of the first 8 positions. Were the other BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Rolls Royce, VW drivers not trying to beat the escort "shopper"?

[mk2 matt]

i think its perfectly fine, up to you what you do

can any come and live in your world of crap gaz

[allanmex]

mines a proper mex but running a 2.1. some people would say its not right coz it aint a 1600, at the end of the day its your car so do wot u like. there r sum real nice cars around which are replicas, and fair play to them.

The london-mexico rally was a load of old cobblers , it was just a jolly boys outing to raise at bit of P.R. to sell some motors . All the RS polishers harp on about it but at the end of the day that's all it was . The only difference between an 1100 body and a type 49 is a few bits of spot welded tin which you can buy for a few quid at the shows . The tramp bars do something but the rest don't do much except trap dirt and cause more rust

[RETRO_AL]

Gaz is just jelous cos his aint a rs,he makes excuses up because he drives the poor mans version

 

 

Would be a differant story if his was a rs

[mk2 matt]

[johnny_h]

I'd like to know where you get cheap tin RS wings? Also the RS has 9 inch rear drums. Not too mention discs and calipers up front. There are tons of differences between a propper RS and a base model. The RS has a tuned engine. The RS has strengthening parts fitted. Anti tramp bars. It has a rev counter and oil pressure guage fitted as standard. Bucket seats. Black headlining. Quarter bumpers. RS Alloys or steels, oh and a chassis plate with the letters A V and O on it.

If you owned one you might understand how people feel when you rubbish thier cars. I'm not bothered of course because I know that you cant help your condition but not everyone knows you like I do.
