A chap near to me owns an XR2 its the mk2 so not like the ones that you owned but similair anyway, he works at the ford dealer and his Fiesta is on a "d" plate and its immaculate. Not a scratch scuff or bit of rust anywhere and the interior AND under the car on the outside is always clean shiny and dirt free !!
It still has that fiesta "sound" to it though you know what I mean ? LIke the old escorts and orions, you can tell its coming down the road before you've even seen it !! Or smelt it burning oil !
