Pretty Sure Adverts are frowned upon here....
Lots of pictures and "I'm looking to sell soon" would be pushing the "non-advert post" boundary me thinks....
Looks well looked after though, and welcome
ETA - could do with a split pin on your front hub bolt:

There should be a split pin to stop the nut being able to work it's way off should it ever come loose for any reason. Your local Ford place will have them in stock, and should charge you pennies for one.
It keeps the nut fastened to the correct torque, by the looks of it your's isn't even lined up with the hole, so I would suggest also checking it is tightened to the correct torque level, then pin it
There isn't a "Introductions" Section, we just poke fun at you for your first 50 posts then welcome you or throw red bull at you depending on how you dealt with the piss taking
How often do you paint your exhaust to keep it silver btw? Surely it will burn off every time it gets upto temperature?
ah i see what you mean - i hadnt even spotted that!! i will sort that immediately 
i guessed as this is the 'general' bit that intros would go here!! i only did the exhaust this summer - i used halfords heat paint but to be honest its crap stuff and it stone chipped immediately. ive redone it with a heat proof lacquer but that hasnt helped. theres one more brand of heat paint i want to try - if thats no good il sand it back, clean it up and leave it. originally it looked discoulered so i wanted to tidy it up without the hassle and expense of removing it and having it polished. would have been alright if it worked!

Your fighting a loosing battle, they get too hot to leave any coating on and get splattered with salt, stones etc, even stainless ones look manky after a few weeks! i guessed as this is the 'general' bit that intros would go here!! i only did the exhaust this summer - i used halfords heat paint but to be honest its crap stuff and it stone chipped immediately. ive redone it with a heat proof lacquer but that hasnt helped. theres one more brand of heat paint i want to try - if thats no good il sand it back, clean it up and leave it. originally it looked discoulered so i wanted to tidy it up without the hassle and expense of removing it and having it polished. would have been alright if it worked!10/10 for keeping the underneath that neat and tidy though
Had to pop back in and see your replies.
Fellow Ford fan Dan, currently driving a MKII RS, I was being sarcastic expecting some people to bite
You will come to see that the 335d (mapped, which of course makes it a super car slayer) & the MX5 are mentioned alot, you will also get one certain person who will mention a American Yank Tank as an alternative to ANYTHING your after?
The Birds Custard joke: well here people request photos of Birds custard (in a jar) placed in certain places on their car as proof of ownership etc. It can also be used to prove that certain people are who they say they are - Jason Plato has recentley had to prove him self here:
Other household items can be used as proof of ownership too e.g.
Welcome to PH by the way

ah i see now!! well custard is a no no for me, request something that i'd have, like dry pasta
im massively jealous of you and your mk2 rs, absolutely gorgeous cars!!
Thanks im massively jealous of you and your mk2 rs, absolutely gorgeous cars!!
However, jealousy is something you learn to live with my friend, especially here, my advice - stay out of the Lamborghini/Ferrari/Masser section, that section can turn you greener than my Focus
BTW - Ultimate respect to the condition of your car
