Do you love Fast Fords? Yup. You're in luck - From the overlooked Ford Mondeo ST220 to the Ford Escort Cosworth RS, find out what my favourite Fords' are.
Ford Mondeo ST220
Do you like the clean looks of this Ford Mondeo ST220? Nah. Why not - With its stealthy Panther Black Metallic paintwork and beefy exaught tips. I like a sense of pristine with spice.
After getting morning practice shots of the TCR UK Series on the track, I headed to the car park in hopes to find overlooked cars to photograph. I found this Ford Mondeo ST220 and thought, "what a rare Blue Oval to photograph. There are more Diesel Mondeo ST's than petrol ST220's".
Ford Fiesta ST
What word would you describe this Ford Fiesta ST? Pristine. Same here - Though this Fiesta ST's not the wildest Ford - It makes up for it in terms of style and a welcoming appearance.
I rarely get the chance to photograph cars in the early hours of the day, but I had the chance this mean and clean Fiesta ST. Though the shadows were long, I played that to my advantage.
Ford Focus ST MK2
What would you rate the wing on this Ford Focus ST out of 100? 100. If you don't like the massive wings, this Ford isn't for you, but if you agree, the better is better ethos, the Focus ST's for you.
On my way to getting afternoon shots of the TCR UK Championship at Oulton Park, I came across this Electric Orange Focus ST. So I thought, "let's get some photos of this Ford Focus ST because of the dramatic wing and vivid livery". So I did.
Ford Escort Cosworth RS MK4
Can you feel the timeless vibes of this Ford Escort Cosworth RS? Yeah. Though I took this picture of the Escort Cosworth RS in 2021, I can imagine seeing this Ford at a car festival thirty years ago.
After photographing an Orange Audi R8, This Transparent Purple Ford Escort Cosworth RS caught my eyes. I haven't photographed that many retro Escort Cosworth RS's, never mind one with a whale tail spoiler.
Ford Focus ST MK3
Are you hungry to win? No. Why not - If you want to go far in life and desire a sense of achievement. Winning is the way forward (like this Focus ST).
After North Staffs Customs Car Club won an award at Tunerfest North, Dean asked me, "can you get pictures of his Focus ST with his bonnet up?" I replied with, "yeah. So let's celebrate with some photos!"
Conclusion
I've got a bias towards Fast Blue Ovals'. Why? Great question - From the Ford Escort Mexico to the current Puma ST, Ford crafts consistent performance cars.
