Agreed , but unfortunately this is where my best new customers are found.
The Escos will stand out and be noticed.
The real crime will be when I paste the shop vinyl all over it
As for being competitive..
I don't know if you've ever seen a US East coast auto X competition.
This is often a parking lot lined into a race course with cones.
A single vehicle race against the clock.
Usually, it's a bunch of mustangs and Subaru WRX pretending to be real
STI's with a lighter mix of Honduhs, old rx-7's and the occasional classic corolla or VW.
Typically, a good portion of the drivers are rookies.
Now, I'm not a great driver. Experienced though, I've had 11 years behind the wheels of racing carts .
Win or Loss ,the car's uniqueness will draw eyes and good advertising is priceless.
Here is another question ,unrelated to the above commentary and completely in the wrong thread topic :
Say a guy has a RHD mk6 Escort RS2000,... he's got a photo of his engine bay showing the brake master cylinder on the opposite side of the car than expected.
I'm wondering how this works ?
(I'm used to the master cylinder being on the same side of the car as the pedal)
