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.

The mighty Haichi-Roku! (AE86) What a car, although yes a ford sierra (meurkur? in the US) is quite a drift beast too

Fixed
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's going to need another US guy to clarify this one then, I think I would still have my money on rwd but when the Focus came out the Euro car was fwd and the US one on a different floor pan was rwd, go figure

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..

The US Focus is FWD, also.

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
