The Ford Escort Mk1 RS is back, with 296bhp and a £295k price tag.... by Boreham motor works

Beer Goggles can be sooo deceptive though.... one usually doesn't figure that out until the next morning...

Taking her out for a chewy meal?

fuck it ...few stellas she'll look beautiful

And you are still overpaying.

Nice Aprilia 'Crosser....

The result of KTM's demise?....

I took a walk to Tesco, glad i walked or I would still be in the queue to get into the car park, and out again. Bah Humbug!.

Not really but I find false teeth a turn off.

I think there is a chap in Wales building new MK1/2 Escorts for £70k depending on spec. Sure Jonny Smith did a car pervert Youtube about it.

How much for one with teeth , asking for a friend

He's speaking in Valleys Welsh , isn't it butty

For reasons that probably aren't too hard to figure out considering my username, the 270 degree crank was a big selling point to me. This bike is WAY off my normal buying habits, that was one detail that helped it make the cut.

2 GREAT guitar players...Gone way too soon, but never forgotten.... RIP Jeff & Stevie...

Elk recently spotted in 1 of the fields on the way down to La Grande....

officer @Pedro... we got a live one in progress...

I brought one of these home last week, just in time for ski season to start here in Michigan. It'll be about five months before I can ride it, so for now it's sitting in my basement shop looking for ways to spend my money. With 0.5 miles on the trip odometer (total miles still says 0) it's got a Quickshifter, upgraded front brake pads, Upmap unit & reflash, Swingarm spools, USB port, tail tidy, and various warning stickers removed. Oh sure, you shake your head at that one, but I've removed five so far and have four more to go. Not to mention various barcode labels and an incredible amount of yellow marks that indicate somebody gave that item attention at some point. It will have better tires put on it as soon as the seasonal sales start. Or maybe sooner if I get impatient. I even got to break out the 3d printer. In prep for trackdays I've printed a couple plates to capture the nuts on the mirrors so they can be removed without disturbing the fairing. I am also anxiously awaiting the release of an add-on wiring harness to move the front turn signals onto the headlight, like in other parts of the world. Because if I don't do that, I'll still have to remove that pesky panel to get access to the mounting bolts. Come on Aprilia, figure it out. You don't have to make attaching/removing things so piddly. I had an RS-R a few years back they used something like 37 long screws just to hold the airbox lid on. Annoying. It may also get an exhaust, another reflash, rear shock, and fork inserts too, but I think those will wait until I've actually ridden. Maybe not. In stock USA trim there are five warning labels visible from this angle alone. F'ing lawyers...

Gay

300hp on a mark 1, talk about overkill, you’d need to have proper skills to handle that. Make it oldschool and 200hp, and it’ll be more fun and faster anywhere outside of a racetrack.

While looking up some codes on a Range Rover evoke tire pressure system I discovered some low frequency sensors attached to the wheel arch liners. Thinking these are the prob I get the wheels and arch liners off only to see nothing plugged into said sensors. I then spent another hour pulling things out to see if I could find the missing plugged wires. Think it's been in an accident in its early life and possibly the wrong loom refitted. Piissed off, it's back together now and back with its owner. TPMS light still on, although I did sort the low level warning sensor for the window washers.

If I one the lottery I'd buy one . Best colour as well, Olympic blue

Interesting place

Yeah I reckon you could smell the expense in that place. some nice cool understated bikes though.

Pretty cool shop.... I'm sure those customs have a custom price tag as well...

7.5 x 9.5 feet. I wanted a 10 by 6 but I found the one I got on Amazon Black Friday so went with that.

270 degree crank as approved by @Pedro.

It’s lighter than a Church … but heavier than a Witch

It's the same brand Costco sell in the states, loads of good reviews about them so should be okay. I just want somewhere clean and dry out of the house to store my bike gear, luggage and tools. I have the idea that I can walk out the back door gear up in the shed then head out. To be fair my gear is taking over the dining room so I understand why I am getting grief from the wife over it.
