For some reason, I can't imagine it doing this

When you said Essex, this was the first thing that popped in my head

For me, the yellow isn't quite doing it for me. If it were in red or RS blue then I'd rock it. And another thing, this thread needs more 3 door.

And here's the ST's more cheerful brother

Just don't park nose first into walls

It would be amusing if MacKenzie said this instead:

I'd rather go for this. Heck, even this is still a bit on the high side

Be it TDCI, ST or RS, the Focus itself is a pretty capable car. A 2-litre TDCI saloon would rack up Q-Car points too

I thought the jams where I live was bad enough...

Wait 'til he gets his hands on a Gullwing!

At first, I was going to suggest the W124. I suddenly remembered these things are even more unkillable

Insert face?

Ohh... a Philippine spec. Finding one that hasn't been violated is pretty hard these days. The fresh ones are quite pricey too

And do two door sedans count? After all, a sedan is pretty much anything with a B-pillar...I think

It is a sedan after all...

As with most things in the auto business, it needs more 3 door...and hangtime

If I'm not mistaken, the Cortina had a 4.1L six and not an eight, which was an Australian (and NZ?) special. I think the eight can be found in the Mk. 1 Granada. It was called the Granada Perana (Pictured). There was also a Capri Perana. Again, these were South African goodies

I'm guessing you're ASEAN based. I'm based in the Philippines. Back in the 80's it was either you owned one or you knew someone who had one. The GSR's were highly sought after too

I'd also want to introduce you guys to the Ford Cortina XR6. The Mk. 3 to Mk. 5 models didn't have much sporting credentials but it's always amusing when they try.
