Type-25 - five years on
 

I can't believe it's five years since I bought the best all-round car I ever had, but I thought I'd mark the occasion by putting up a few pictures.

Still in Japan

Whilst not an official Type-25, I have had my "hybrid" ;) for 5yrs within the next couple of weeks.

I have to say, I have never owned a car for such a long period of time and I have enjoyed every second (well... almost lol) of it. Must be something to do with the Litchfield "thing". :D

Perhaps it is time for a change though. :D

Dont do it, since i sold my spec'C' all i have done is regret it TBH, The Noble was great fun BUT not the same. The RS is great but NOT spec C great. :thumb:

I think its deffo time for a change shaun lol if i seen a hawk cosworth up for sale i would buy it 100%

Iain, you would have a pm if your box had any room!

Small world time again, I was there when you picked it up.

;) i also collected my spec C in March 05, altho a touch later in the month, 25th IIRC.

roflol @ Mark! ;)

XRS,
Really?!

I remember seeing the Spec C in Iain's showroom, when he told me it was THE car to buy. I also remember saying to myself "I have only just bought my Blobeye UK STi (like three weeks previously).... how can I justify getting this Spec C!". The rest is obviously history! :D

I was just as excited driving the 2yr old Spec C home, as I was when I bought my very first Escort Cossie in 1998. I felt the dog dagglies on both occasions, coming away from the showrooms. :D

Never brought new dont know the feeling lololol

big fud. i have a hawk cosworth.its not for sale but could be tempted for an extreme amount of money.lol

i dont like you lot and your t25s
turned me green this thread and my name aint banner

Lol i can tell you dont know me you would know i dont pay extreme for anything lol get some pics up let me see.My t25 might have cossie build in summer with some next levell turbo ..

Fantastic car and very nice wheels! Is the colour code bright silver?

No, it's crystal grey. Don't know what colour the wheels are though. :)
