New website for my car...

[roop]

Hi all,

I have started putting together a new website for my car. If you fancy a peek, feel free to swerve over and have a nosey...! Not a load on there right now, but there's a handful of pics on from today when I took the car up the Trough of Bowland.

www.RS-500.com

Cheers,

Roop

A truly beautiful example of one of Fords finest, congratulations
I own a 'normal' 3dr Cosworth which I adore and only wish I could it more (pics of mine are now on my profile).

Thanks Ben, that's a very clean looking 3dr you've got there. Being similar in tune to my 500, have you ever worked out what mpg you get...? Mine seems very good (mid 20's) until you wind up the blower at which point it does about 3*.

* okay, slight exaggeration

Thanks Roop

My car is the same at yours then by the sound of it, reasonable fuel consumption until you put your foot down but they are great fun though aren't they!

I went to Snetterton in mine yesterday and the thing that amazed me on what was a relatively lng journey was just how refined and comfortable it is to drive. That and the amount of interest it generated whilst parked in the snetterton car park

I'm guessing from your website that you are over the moon with your purchase?

Yeah, it sounds very similar. The '500 isn't quite as driveable because of the humongous turbocharger that takes a while to spool up, but when it does, all hell breaks loose and you're off.

I am absolutely delighted with the car. Only had her 3 weeks but so far so good. It's everything I imagined and more and has exceeded my expectations in every way. I am simply amazed that an 18 year old car ( and an 18 year old Ford at that ) can drive so well. It doesn't stick as hard as the Type-R, but the ride quality is way better thanks to 15" wheels and tyres with proper profile rather than the 17's and elastic bands on the CTR.

Have splashed out on some Zymol wax to really mint her. The cost seems ridiculous, but the results are very good. I'm in the middle of it at the moment, as soon as I am done I'll put a review on PH - seems like cracking stuff so far and smells laaverly

[L100NYY]

I'll perhaps have to give that Zymol a go (even if it is only for the smell)

I have to admit that even though my car has never had any panels painted the white really does gleam and it looks as though the same is true of yours.

I will be keeping a close eye on your website Roop as it already looks superb

That is one fabulous car. I wanted one of those when they first came out, never did buy one, my loss. Just the same as Lotus Excel that I wanted. If only.

Great pics too by the way
