Ford Sierra. How much??

Post by KevBrowne » Sun Feb 07, 2021 5:11 pm

Mad money, these never appealed to me. I've driven a few of them & found driving position poor - feels like the front of the seat is too high, forcing thighs into seat on every gearchange. In standard spec, performance is nothing special - but obviously has easy scope to increase this. Whole car feels heavy. Good brakes & sharp steering though.

I don't get why any "fast ford" is so desirable.
It makes this https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... sed&page=1
look like a complete bargain. In the early '90s (and even today) I would have much rather had an M3 evo than a cossie
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

It's making me think a late E92/ E93 M3 is worth buying and sticking in the garage though.

That’s why I’m still working and not retired after sticking these, and many others, in a shed and wheeling them out now to fund my retirement :headbang:
