Ford Orion

Just out of boredem, I decided to do some research on the "more than a family run around" (Sorted-Orions) car which is the Ford Escort with a boot welded on (as an afterthought) Ford Orion. This is a quote from our friend "Trev" and his sorted orion; in reference to a 1litre nova. Check the sig.

I think that made me full off mine!!

is this car a joak, it doesnt even have any desent wheels, by car looked better then that with the 15s LOL

[There was a pic here...but due to the people @ one of the ford boards not being able to take a 'joak' - and planning on changing the image - I have removed it... The check out what they think of this article here]

And some more quotes showing the distintion of the Orion

"For the power output of the engine the fuel economy is rubbish"

"When I have more money I might need to buy one for modifying... but only when I have more money so I can afford the repairs!"
http://www.carsurvey.org/review_36582.html

"To put it mildly I will buy another one when I smash this one up. Enough said." [Indeed - Russ]

"Very quick car (it's actually an XR3i engine in an Orion shell) 130bhp, 0-60mph in 8.1seconds top speed of 127mph (manufacturers figures)."
