Have been in mk1 cossie 500 bhp with 185 x 13s on 

It was so noisey not so much engine but the chassis noise kept thinking it was going to fold in half mental carry on, lighting up the types 3rd gear in the dry lol

I would imagine the old moggie creaking and groaning under load lol

Never had a licence until November at 35 yr old .

But owned a few motors in the past .

a series 1 and a series 3 Landover 

MK2 Jetta

But the old fords are my favourite, while lads at college were looking at pictures in max power or fast car I was reading classic ford

Absolutely right people are looking to get them back as standard as possible not soup them up for boy racer material.....i used to know all the different works escorts but ive forgotten it all over the years wasnt the Mk 2 Mexico a flat front version of the Rs2000 or was the mk 1 and 2 Mexicos both 1600 ?

Great days they were f****n about with them old Fords....back in the days when anyone had half a chance under a bonnet !

And you were odds on favourite in a police chase unlike today, I used to do a head gasket on the old pushrods and 20 pintos easily in under an hour in the garden with a few spanner’s and a shitty socket set

My Nan had a Ford anglia from new stopped driving when she was 87 and it was in much the same nick always wanted to do the same to that but never got a chance and it disappeared when she passed away, had a mk2 escourt with an early 20 Zetec  lump in it with twin 40s instead of injection fast as but still prefer a pinto or pushrod for simplicity and reliability, have you ever seen the power the Harris family squeeze out of them it’s mental

We used the  pinto in the bangers as it was so simple to do any repairs , we had a 1600 pinto mated to a Sierra diesel gearbox that thing had some speed in it considering you never got out of 2nd gear ..

If we had kept all our old cars then we could have retired unhappy
