My first car was one of these in white

but I always wanted one of these

always remember a write up saying when the RS2000 was flat out in 4th the Droopsnoot would change into 5th and pull away. Both myself and my brother found this to be true when driving our RS's at different times with a local Droopsnoot.

That Droopsnoot is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

I'd love something "strange and obscure" like that.

Ford actually "stole" the droopsnoot idea for the MK2 RS 2000.
