no snap decision now....................... :blackeye

Mark....... the ads for old RS's always make me chuckle.......i had 2 Mk2 RS2000, one signal red 80 (salmon pink, nicked) and one beige/taupe (can't remember the right description) yuk! immaculate but yuk!

They look so square and upright now but the pics of the Mk1 1 turbo, that profile, vile.

A mate had a full set over the years (except mk 1's, shame as they are probably the best now), Mk2 RS 2000's (one a concourse car), Mk3 1600i, Mk1 turbo, sierra cosworth (proper 3 door one, superb) and finally an escort cosworth, we also detailed Mk2 RS1800 which was outstanding and prepared a Mk1 Mexico (think it was gold/beige) while retaining the patina...........great days and mucky hands

But looking back at the cars now most have dated badly except the Mk1's.....shame... :(

Guess the mileage G has put on all the cars he has owned since being on SE...

Gareth, curious to know how you rate the Z4M. Good and bad points? Wasn't very impressed by the boggo Z4 soft top I drove, but I am sure the M is a different beast and I have always liked the coupe shape far more.

Focus RS - awaits slagging but does everything I need, getting me out in bad weather big one! Not interested in buying a daily burner.

Not sure how much better an RS would be than an exige in the snow with big fat fronts and lots of torque - won't be as bad, for sure, but won't be massively better IMO. You'd still be nicking the disco and pissing off the wife...
