Sitting at my desk just now in Milton Keynes, I hear a fruity sounding exhaust. Turning to look out of the window I see an immaculate-looking, white Sierra RS Cosworth merrily mixing it with the lunch time traffic. No pics, unfortunately, but what struck me was how modern it looked among all the current stuff.

I've never really wanted one, but it did look lovely.

Gaydon museum today, for the 'Rustival' show - my mate and I met up in our cars en route and there was a great mix of vehicles on display when we got there...



Whenever I see any American van like that it shouts stalker / rapist / dodgy janitor to me yikes

Top pic with the W124 reminds me of a scene from Taken 2.

Thought it was maybe an Iso Rivolta but I don’t think the details are right.

That looks like it has been "breathed on" somewhat, wider wheels and arches, bigger exhaust etc. Bet it's hilarious to drive.

Would I be right in saying that Honda’s were driven by a younger demographic back then.

Possibly.

More an 'odder' demographic - those for whom a Saab was too cool but a Vauxhall definitely too mundane.
