havent you got enough cars / motorbikes as it is? lol

its up to you mate the escort does look tidy

do you use the Ktm much cause if you dont and you want the escort for commuiting(sp?) do it.

if it was me i would a i have a soft spot for mk4 cabs and this is the best example i have ever seen also 4 wheels are safer than 2 plus if if your doin 130 mile a day it will be cheap to run so yes swap:thumb: :)

yes swapping the bike for the cab
i dont use ktm much as i have the z1000 and getting off the z makes the ktm feel like a moped,
but i have the combo in daily use which is reliable and gives me no greif but i get bored easily and fancied a cabriolet again lol

novas here to stay and the series 1 rs

he wants me to email pics so ill send him pics,
my plan , the combo is dut mot and insurance and it want 4 shocks as the lowering springs have killed em lol, so i might put combo in my sis's garage tax and insure the cab use it till winter then fetch combo out through the winter,
but while combo is off road im gonna rear disc it and 5 stud as i want the 17 inch astra turbo 5 spokes, then donate speedlines to the nova,
and maybe paint combo arden blue, THATS MY PLAN ANYWAY

and i dont have towbar to take it anywhere as it wont go in the combo,
everytime i take it out im worried about police, i wont stop but i have a car license and bike license i dont want to lose

i dont want a normal cabriolet the 1.8td bit is whats appealing to me if only ford did this out the factory
i have this so dont need to turbo it i just want to drive it lol and not touch it apart from wheels

yes thats correct im thinking mpg as i travel 130 mile a day and living in a combo each day gets boring lol,
not as boring if you can put roof down and look at all the sunshine sheilas on motorway too lol

oh btw any limited edition that has been tampered with or modified isnt worth a toss any more as it isnt as standard so looses its ltd ed status in all retrospects

1. its not a cvh
2.more power :D

because fitting a cosworth to one of them,is alot of work,cutting the bulkhead,then you need a bigger gearbox tunnel the house the T5:thumb:


Then it's running a cosworth engine,it's alot of moneylol
