    Last year I decided to buy myself a restored Mk 2 RS2000, or even a Mk 1 RS1800, just because I so desperately wanted one when I was a teenager. I thought maybe 10k would buy me something nice.

    Hahahahaha! 10k buys a basket case. You're looking at 30 for a decent one.

    They have a history of building great cars, in amongst the Sierra-type dross. Consider the early Cortina, the Escort, the 3 litre Granadas. The current Fiesta is an especially fine car. Good company, Ford.

    I mean, compare theiur product over the years with their traditional biggest rivel - Vauxhall.

    Does the AA man give you a cheeky smile and a wink when he fills it for you b?

    I don't dispute what you say, but as a brand, they're always going to feel a bit low-rent, aren't they?

    I once briefly had a highly-specced Vectra from the work pool and it was an extraordinary piece of shít. It felt like it was made of lead, had all the oomph of a milk float and generally felt like quite a comfortable hearse.

    I have a 12 year old Astra SXi, and it's been fab. Zips around and only had one problem with it.

    I was totally besotted with those vinyl roofed, 3 litre Granadas favoured by the Sweeney. Think they did about 11MPG .

    My first ever car, the 2nd generation Capri, was a thing of great beauty but actually dangerously inept on corners.

    When I was a teenager, a friend of mine inherited a Granada from his dad. It was enormous. You could get about a dozen people in the fücking thing. Quite handy for blagging lifts back from remote parties.
