Happy Birthday!

^ Are those Ford Sierras? My Dad used to take us to Ice Hockey practice at 4 a.m and drift on the way there in the empty town. So much fun.

Fixed :wink:

I knew I was wrong about the car as the back end looked wrong but never thought it could be a Corolla. Man I want a rear wheel drive car so bad. Though I don't know if I'd last very long in one, being young and stupid and all.

FWD cars have their place especially if you live in an area with snow.

I have tons of fun with my G35. just unplug the VDC fuse and it's drift city until you get worried about replacing $275 apiece tires

BTW wasn't the Merkur xr4ti a Front wheel drive car?

If the US car is the same drive train as the UK one then defo rwd but you never know I might learn something :?: The UK XR4i was a normally aspirated 2.8ltr V6 I think some South African XR5s were 5.0ltr V8s so you never know.

It definitely had the Turbo lump in the US hence the Ti.. I'm also sure it is RWD in the US too as my dad built someone a Borg Warner racing G/Box for one and that was long and thin.. :)

That's weird :? , when Ford started to rally the Focus they were reported to have based it on the US spec model as it supposedly had a transmission tunnel and the Euro car did not, was there a 4wd US Focus :?:
