back in the day ....... xr2/xr3 !

[fasterthanjesus]

where are they now ? i remember the times i used to drive a cav sri, and all i saw on the roads at night were xr2's and xr3i's. i couldnt go 5 miles without there being at least 3 or 4 xr's about.

when i had my r5t, it was less of a problem, as there were less about and most of them were haggered anyways.

nowadays, i havent seen an xr2/xr3 in years, and i dont see much on the road that gives me any real hassle (i.e. sat on my rear bumper). - apart from one dickhead who drives a 1.6 fiesta and thinks hes the dogs balarics - just because i dont drive hard in busy traffic and let him pass.

theres also a honda mugen with a big fat tin can of an exhaust, i normally hear him before i see him, and i let him pass - hes an accident waiting to happen.

theres a bloke at work who drives an audi tt, hes not happy with me as hes tried to burn me off at the traffic lights 3 times.

so, who/what gives you the most grief? and when was the last time you saw an xr!

theres a nice silver one near me as it happens.

A Mk1 Supersport and Mk1 XR2 are in my lockup :P kept nice and dry for when they become more valuable.

i havent seen one in years! not since i was 16 or so. now only 20 btw! as northy says most are rusted beyond repair. Even newish fords are rusted to ****. horrible cars!

106 Gti's are the cars that give me most trouble. LOL And its pointless them even trying! No idea just how fast mine is. Or that its a hybrid.

my uncle had an xr3i many moons ago, swapped it for a capri then wrote it off

[lewis_willy2]

ive jus done a headgasket on an xr3i that my m8s just purchased, not a bad looking motor

loadsa history but front and rear end have both been damaged, so now its mint aprt from that factor

but as northy sed, scrapyards!

my mate had a mint met grey f plate xr2 totally standard on pepperpots, was a nice little car and i think they look great. i had a e plate escort rs turbo a few years back was totally standard 2 previous owners and had 65000mls on the clock, it was white. i put a full mongoose exhaust on it with 4" rolled out pipe it sounded amazing even on idle and u cant beat the sound of the turbo spinning up :D never gave me any problems and i sold it for a profit. i want a white 3dr cosworth one day, a mint standard one.

I love the old Classics, i love the fact there so rare now, have had 2 XR3's, XR3I, 2 MK1 Golf GTI's, XR2, and now have the MK1 GTE, i just love the driving experience, thats why i went for the Willy also.
Bought a W reg XR3 off Ebay about 18mnths ago and it broke down on me on the way home!!!

oh how i loved my XR3!!! was an excellent little car, was my last car i had before i upgraded to the willy 3 nearly 2 years ago now! mine was the slightly rarer XR3 no injection model (twin webbers instead?????) she is still running as we speak! some bloke who comes from london keeps in contact with me via the net and sends me new pics, she looks minter than mint than in these 2 pics that i took a few days before i sold her for a oner!

Nice headlight covers

I had a white F plate xr3i and a H plate mercury grey ERST. Loved that car, seriously quick once i'd played with it.
