Well I havent added up what Ive spent,but the engine alone cost more than a decent Saph Cossie taxi!! And you know what,I don't give a fcuk,cause no one expects a poxy Mk 4 Escort to pass them on a trackday,thats what give's me the buzz.Sure I could get a evo/scooby or whatever,but then its too easy to lap quickly,plus its no big deal,as every evo laps quick!!On the plus side,cause my escort is light,its easy on tyres/brakes/petrol,so the actual running costs ain't too bad.If you want to make money on the sale off a car,the best way is not to buy the car in the 1st place.Regards,Micky
