Pintos matey - set up by Alan Goodwin @ Aldon Automotive, had some good runs at Loton Park (www.hdlcc.com) in 2005.

Could have done with an Atlas rear axle and LSD, but roundabouts were a hoot in the wet

Just managed to get the care prepped correctly and had to sell.

Lad from South Wales is the new owner.

I wish I had the garage space for most of the cars I have owned.......

X-Packs You either love them or hate them, I might turn mine back into an Tarmac Ally arched one, I might be sooner if we take the arches off on the next Rally

I used to have a droop snoop Non X-pack one as well

This is our Rally X-pack it's next stage rally is at the end of july

Thanks for the comments.

The car was a "work in progress" - too many little jobs required attention and I just did not have the time in 2004.

It was fitted with the genuine RS embossed X pack panels, and had most of the X Pack extras (apart from the bonnet pins).

I have always loved Mark 2s - had a few in my youth, including a Daytona Yellow arched flat front 2.1 (the flying banana) - I will post a photograph tonight.

Huxley - great picture.

You are not a man until you have had a RWD Escort on full drift down a muddy country lane

Happy, happy days..................

NotoriousREV

Been there, done that, threw it roof-first through a bus stop

Good man, means you were trying.

Some friends and myself would often find ourselves in 2 or 3 Marks 2s on the back rounds around Brecon early on a Sunday morning.

Ripping around - day would not be complete unless one of the cars was damaged.

Easy and cheap to repair in those days (cars not the drivers )

Mine wasn't a cheap repair. Once it passed through the bus stop it proceeded to roll up a bank where it hit a tree and then rolled back down the bank and parked itself on all 4 wheels on top of the (now flattened) bus stop facing the opposite direction from which I'd originally come. The entire car was about 3' high apart from a REV shaped bit at the front and I just stepped out of it without so much as a bruise! I'd only had it 4 hours (and my licence 1 month).

Glad to see that you've kept the hairstyle Tony

I think RWD Escorts were the Scooby of their day.

I had a few different ones from 1.3sport to 2.2 stroked HT racing prepped.
Luckily I lived near Rally Design, and the people that made their 5 Link and Turret Kits, etc

Any other pictures out there?

Sticky Stuff

bollux, I need a mk2!!!

Funny, but if you were to do the equivalent of an X-pack to a Scoob nowadays you'd probably be flamed to hell

Had my hair cut for that Pic, was twice as long I was tad thinner I always wanted a MK2 Cossy, Sunbeam Lotus or 6R4. Oooooh I can still smell Castrol R now

Probably!!!! Definately Never been tempted by a 22B arch kits

I wasn't so keen on the late Facelift MK2 RS2000 was the Bugeye of it's day IMHO

I wanted a flat front Mark 2 but could not find one at the time.

Now they are getting rarer and rarer (and more and more expensive).

ukdave

Cool cars, good stories; nice one

Suresh

MkI Escorts are mega-cool .

Any other old Escort is just a travesty of design. IMHO.

XRS

I'm a Mk 1 fan too - here's my old car. I bought it when I was 21 (it was six months' old) and kept it for 9 years. £56 fully comp back then



Took this on 7th July 1977. Fortunately I didn't hit anyone with the light brackets
