Basically i have about £1500-£2000 and i need a reasonably powerful car which i can modify (so fairly mainstream), im a bit of a speed freak and my rover 100 isn't satisfying me anymore. Nothing too powerful please because insurance might be a problem (im only 18)!
Currently looking at ford escorts 1.6/1.8 litre engines. Preferably a car with a long wheelbase (such as the escort) as im bored with being looked down upon as a little hatchback boy racer...
Ideally i would like a mondeo but my dad is unwilling to part with his, so perhaps something cheaper.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

steer clear of the ford my friend
get your self in to somthing jap
i sugest a civic coupe you can get up to an n reg in a 1.5i which is very nippy and easy to mod or after n reg you can get the 1.6 v-tech which would be evan quicker.

I just sold a 1.8Injection Escort for £320, so think you can do better than that. You should have a look at the Ford Scorpio 2.9 Cosworth. Ugly as sin, but where an Escort carries a heavy loading on it because all the boy-racers buy them, the Scorpio Cossy has almost none as they were usually owned by Exectutive types that wanted a cheap alternative to a Jaguar or 530 BMW. Boy racers never bought tehm so the insurance is surprisingly cheap, perhaps a fraction more than a 1.8 Escort but will only be a fraction. I had one at 20, and it was great. Comfortable, powerful, fast and reliable.

do no longer hear to Crazyworld! at an identical time as I agree which you're in part in charge for this cutting-edge difficulty you the two are in. bear in mind that SHE proposed this option to YOU no longer any other way around! which potential the place different women could chortle and picture of it as a comedian tale; SHE gave it some concept on the way homestead and desperate to do it regardless she in basic terms wanted your approval! SHE crossed the fantastic line between ESCORT and PROSTITUTE bear in mind Escorts don't have intercourse for money, Prostitutes do; the shown fact that she agreed to **** the shopper (She already broke between the Escort Commandments so this did no longer marvel me) shows how little she thinks of you and her marriage to you! once you suggested that SHE have been given her implants; without even discussing it with you HER HUSBAND shows that absolutely everyone appreciate she had for you is long previous! the shown fact that it develop into offered by potential of her shopper is in easy terms a slap to the face it somewhat is her asserting "I belong to him now". that could make her his Lover if he's single, Mistress if he's married. you're no longer something extra effective than a Plushy toy for her some thing to convenience her after she's finished my suggestion is to pass away her she's made her selection and that i'm very sorry to assert its no longer you. Take it from me i've got been a male escort for 2yrs and as quickly as the existence variety has you it by no potential shall we pass and from what i've got examine she has it made a prosperous sugar daddy that would grant her something i'm sorry to assert yet from what i've got considered and experienced she's by no potential leaving the female you as quickly as knew is long previous.

Well you could buy an old vectra they are quite cheap these days but a bit powerful, or get something from the sixtys and you dont have to pay road tax they can be cheap aswell.

You can never go wrong with a Honda Civic. The 1600 16V is pritty powerfull and very reliable and it is very modifiable.
