Default ESC Gone in 60 Seconds!!!

Thanks to Bibo Boy today, we managed to blag our hands (and feet) on some of Ford Motor Company's finest machines:-

Here's "Sideways" Steve with a MK1 Mexico:-



ESC's resident mechanic with an Escort Cossie



And... my good self, with.... well you probably guessed....





These cars are (yes, still are....) absolutely pristine and a real pleasure to drive.

The Sierra was a bit of a handful in the wet, but with only 40k on the clock, drove like a brand new car!!

looking forward to wednesday now, when we have to return them!!

bagsy the mk1 !!

..Thanks again Bibo for the trust and opportunity!!

Possibly, think it had motorsport on the seats.

The mexico was amazing. drove so well (guess is should with the mileage) and was TOTALLY pristine.
