Damn, that Mondeo looks pretty slick. Love to see one in red with different wheels. That'd be my vote. I'd take one over the Focus, not a fan of Mums taxi's and the XR6T is looking a little old these days.

I can definitely say that TT is out of the running for me. Ultimately it would be an F6. Out of those choices though it would probably be the XR5 for my first choice. Straight line means sh!t all to me!

A friend of mine has a Sierra ('85 XR4TI... not the Cosworth). He bought it in the late '80's - even called up Dicky to get his opinion on the car!
The handling of the car is superior to the VL turbo's that were running around back then.

I'm going to check out this car... it's been in a shed for the last 15 years, occasionally started, never driven. He's decided to sell it, and he wants me to take photos and advertise it on Ebay.

If I was cashed up, it sounds like it'd be a fun toy to buy... but...

I agree. An AWD Falcon would appeal to me more so for the twisties ;)

What about the Turbo TX3 Lasers - 4WD of course ...



I've had mine for eight plus years now ... can't bring myself to get rid of it, surprising quick and when traction breaks due to the rear drive bias its progressive oversteer. :

But talking about oversteer ... my favorite:



... but I am biased

TERRITORY! It drives like a car, you can go camping in it, throw the mountain bike in the back. tow a big boat, drive around a tribe of people. and best of all you can still take on the smug P plater in the commadore.
I'ts a great allrounder

XR6T, but having said that I haven't driven a territory, so I'd be willing to give that a go too.
