I started 5 years ago at 17 in a 205, that was a great car to learn in but now the cars are getting less and less. I always run my cars cheaply and the 205 could be quite un-reliable at times as lets face it the base car is just a basic car built to get from A to B, its always going to rattle apart and if your like me havnt got the time to put into it you will spend alot of money on retirements.

Always been obsessed with escorts, was my first car and only just brought myself to part with it but bottom line with MK2's is if you dont have the money they are worth too much to driver properly.

If your after fun and RWD best car I can reccomend is an E30 BMW 325. Built like tanks and very cheap parts, You wont ever make a beamer as good as an escort but I would challenge anyone to have more fun than me in a rally!

They are getting more common now so you can always compare your times on rallies against them, also there is the challenge which Im doing this year, plenty of beginners abd experienced drivers who are full of advice. Great forum where any question asked gets answered and it is definley the most social championship to do! By far the cheapest and most fun rallying out there
