Did anyone see Wheeler Dealers late last night/this morning?
unless I am that sad, someone else must be that mad as me.

Their project to do up and sell was this monster 
Finished article after engine rebuild and repsray + all other jobs was awesome. I now it was a repeat, but what a car.

 A neighbour has one and they are worlds apart. I scream "whats he done to it"

Better if it was kept as 4 wheel drive.

[sotmh]

True.
Just a thout, it was a saloon and probably wanted it to be more accessible :question

That is the only Sierra I really wanted to drive, but never did!

I would certainly love to have a mint example now 8-) 8-)

That's the problem. Most are far from mint.

Engines go nicely in a kit car, though, and are built like a brick outhouse.

My cousin had a sapphire cozzy 2wd and that was a quick car,handled well too but lots of steer from the rear on wet roads

I've had two - 2wd and 4wd.  Much preferred the 2wd, more fun!

The Wheeler Dealers one, wasnt that impressed.  I hope they replaced the cam belt!

Mines a 2WD  , The 4WD you have to learn how to drive them, the 2WD you just learn how not to crash them.

Great engines though.

A mate of mine has a Dax Rush with Cosworth 4x4 running gear. Loopy machine. Having seen it on track it's clear that cornering and accelerating are two mutually exclusive phases of driving though.

Sounds like some of the expensive metal I was on track with at Anglesey (like the big Merc) - pootle round the corner then rocket off in the distance.. only to be caught up at the next corner

This was more like.. "right, I'm applying some steering input, and a bit more.. and a bit more..  and now I actually want it to turn in <lifts off><round corner><plants it>".

It gave a whole new meaning to the expression "straight line speed".
