Hi Manny The Facebook forum has a bit more action than here, people do come here but not as regular.
When I was younger my first car was a mk2 Escort which I painted in the RS Mexico colours, I also put a big bore exhaust on it, it was only 1600 (or 1.6 in today's money.) It was a great car and probably worth a fair bit now if I still had it. The problems I had with it was that I was always being stopped by the Police 7 times in one night was my record, and people were always trying to steal it. As a young lad I didn't have a garage, so it was parked on the street alarmed of course, but that didn't stop them trying.
Now I am fortunate to have 4 garages and some private land, so securing my 430 replica is not a problem, though whenever I leave it parked anywhere it draws a crowd so I doubt that anyone would attempt to steal it, I think if the Police saw a young lad driving it they would pull him. As a daily driver, well people use MR2 as their daily drive no problem, these are not exactly the same as they have a few modifications some more than others, but I cannot see why not. I personally wouldn't but that's because my daily drive is far more comfortable.
The great things about these cars are they are cheap to run compared to the real thing, they look the part and they are a bit of fun
