I buy 'em, I drive 'em, I sell 'em.  I can't remember what I've had.  Some are more memorable (not always for the right reasons ::)) than others.


I have always passed my cars on, except one which broke very shortly after a spanking...

Those 1.6 Zetecs were spectacularly slow for a 16v engine. ;D

How they managed to go from the 1.6 8v CVH to that and make the car slower in the process I really don't understand. ;D

no, this was the 8v cvh! early mk5 pre smiley grill. never driven a 1600 zetec tbh to compare, but it was much slower then any 1.6 cvh id had in mk3/mk4 escorts/onions.
later on i had a onion 1.8 ghia si, and that actualy went alright, i think the 130ps onions were pretty rare. one of the only fords i enjoyed owning, i had bad luck with the rest lol

Ahh, OK. I think the Zetec was even less powerful on paper than the CVH. ;D

1.8 with 130 cams was OK (or 2.0 cams from a Mondeo. Same cams IIRC :y).
