Claire took this shot from the Kirkham junction of the M55 on the way to Blackpool. I have subsequently retouched it rather heavily (and not very well, but I'm new to this). Hope you like it

you're actually driving the car? Impressive!

When I saw your post saying you had picked it up, I somewhat assumed due to it's condition it would be locked away.

The plan is to do about 1500 miles a year tops in her. Took her to see Claire's dad who likes his motors (as you'd expect) and that's when the pic was taken. She's locked away not waiting for my polish to arrive and then I'll giver her a good once over.

As for the quality* pics - just waiting for fine weather - I'm working in Warwickshire during the week - 120 miles from where the car is so not really convenient for rolling her out of an evening for photies. The time will come though. Watch this space...!

* Well, as good as I can get them anyway

RS500 sounds nice, I do like a bit of the RS brand myself so you may be interested in some of the pictures on the website in my profile. I used to have a 2wd Sapphire Cosworth myself, and now I have a Mk1 Escort with Cosworth power! I also did the photography for a feature in this months Performance Ford magazine (I shall try and post up a copy when it arrives in the post)

You've got to get some quality pics of the RS up. It's an all time classic.
