chatsharris Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Whilst out for a dog walk we wandered passed these. Obviously I have a way to go in the collecting tat stakes! image.jpg FatHarris will be along shortly to wax lyrical about these no doubt, they were his life for a considerable amount of time. 3VOM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordperv Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I only ever remember seeing them as 15"s and looking perfect on a mate's 2.8i Capri.Here's the rs accessory catalogue ive got, the 17s and softline version came a little later, mine are the correct sierra ones part number 5050065 they were available with the rs centre cap or the ford centre cap Look at how ford shamelessly flipped the picture on the mk2 hatch middle picture hoping that no one would notice even though the sweep of the rear wiper is the wrong way and the exhaust is on the wrong side, im confused at why none of the cars except the red orion and blue escort hatch have side repeaters on and thats only on the pictures with the accessories on but not in the before picture AlabamaShrimp, danthecapriman, CGSB and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omegod Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Ended up atop Moel Famau today sitting peacefully above the clouds with classic FM on in the car park , dropped a group off who were doing a walk. Pair of blondes turn up in a freelander 2 and start panicking and frantically looking under the bonnet, I chivalrously offered to help and it became clear that the wipers wouldn't turn off , one underbonnet fuse pulled and job jobbed, I pointed clearly where it needed to go back in, they drove off half an hour later in the pissing down rain without replacing it ...............

beko1987 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Gareth at work has a pool car for the day to go for a meeting, we went outside to fill the form in, after being told it was mint condition, they've never had one back like it (was a company car before the person left)... The dent in the passenger door is particularly fun, been opened into a wall, dented it on the crease line, and left the brick marks in there... Oops Uncomfortable as fuck though, I sat in it for a laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If you cut out that image and carefully PVA the edges together you'll have a nice model of a Sierra that's been tagged up by someone called Dent.

Ghosty Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Old Man gave me a good laugh earlier. I'd told him to tell me if he saw any cars for sale and what sort of thing I'm looking at...

SierraMikeHotel Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I was in a rush so didn't get a photo, but I did smile. Sticker on the back of a Toyota Aygo: "My other car is a horse. And it's still quicker than this!" Also didn't get a photo because I was test-driving a ruined Saab. We used a petrol station to turn around in when we headed back to the dealership. Had to squeeze past a Tesla that was sitting at the pump. Didn't realise until we were level with it, and I don't think the dealer really understood why I'd found it funny.
