Absolutely gorgeous! owned many MKI's and MkII's in my time, nothing at all like that I must say mine had 1.3 and 1.6 cross flows lol..

Saw you yesterday to at Rallyday..;)

What kind of power is the blue x-pack Mk2 running, that looked a right weapon.

Mines around 400hp (but will be considerably more by the springtime). Unfortunately Pig ignored your post as he lives in a world of bitter resentment as he knows my escort is much better than his lol

Keevil was a great day and hopefully we'll be back there in the spring as were trying to organise a private day down there.
Here's a few pics of the superior Mk2 Escort lol

Have you guys tried Colerne? IMO a better track than Keevil, a bit more challengin.

cossiepig 23 September 2010 08:39 PM

we've not done colerne but we have chatted about it m8,i remember seeing you and the other white scooby at keevil was a hoot.when we sort the next one out we will post a link on here as well if you guys are interested?

reserection for true class

Paulo P 27 September 2010 12:57 AM

Is the orange one the one that used to have a Reyland sunstrip or is that another one? Both cars are stunning and I'd love a mark 1 or 2 escort with Cosworth power but they are getting very very expensive now and it puts them out of reach :(

I bought a lovely white 2 door mark 1 with a 1600 crossflow back in 97/98 with a mate for less than £150 IIRC :o It was a non runner so we got it running 2 days later & finished it off with an MOT and a set of alloys and sold it £500 and made a profit :rolleyes:

If only I'd kept it but because I was driving a Manta GTE back then and I wanted to keep that instead :rolleyes:

About a year later I was looking to buy a sierra 2.9 4x4 and I spotted a mark 2 Lotus Cortina for the same money, I bought the Sierra...... When I was young I made so many mistakes where cars were concerned :mad:

cossiepig 27 September 2010 06:58 PM

yes fellas it is the car that had the reyland sticker and engine fitted,it had 420hp on that engine i think.i sold the engine out of it about 4 weeks after i brought the car and stuck my engine in it.all ready for the ring and spa now so off there this friday then spa trackday on monday fingers crossed i dont bin it or breakdown on the way there as i will be driving there and back(no trailor queen here lol).what section would i put a write up of our trip in on this forum please fellas?i will post a report if anyone is interested on my return?again thanks for all the coments as well

J4CKO 27 September 2010 08:54 PM

Both stunning, I cannot comprehend what they must feel like, fastest I have been in is a 997 Turbo, would these feel significantly quicker ?

Gutmann pug 28 September 2010 07:31 PM
