Hi all,

That RS2000 must be on the show scene as its taxed and mot'ed so still been driven. Lovely motor as are the cop cars too ! Oh and just for Andy the lad in the scene with the RS2000 is just setting off on his Raleigh Chopper...or is it a Tomahawk ??
Culture Club and Duran Duran mentioned too. Pick'N'Mix sweets being sold at the local paper shop....oh and the driver of that RS2000 looking like this...

Hang on just a min...this lad reminds me a bit of a young lad on this forum who cherishes his Ford (s) and has some striking similarities albeit without the hair do !!! Anyone know who I may be referring too....driver of a Black 1.6 Laser with an exhaust to rival the sound a Spitfire makes and not afraid to show the cops who is the boss on the streets of Bristol ??? As they said in the 80's..."answers on a postcard please"
Oh......times were sooooooooooo much more straightforward back in the 80's !
Anyway great start to my New Year to see that Green RS2000...Gorgeous motor and spot on colour too
"Fordoholic Watch 24/7" sigining out.....
All the best

Hi Nick,
Didn't watch it but nice RS, and that's a Mk2 Chopper.
Noticed the Herald on the drive too.
I see what you mean about the driver
