When i bought my first escort it was around the 14th one i looked at so i was being pretty fussy, travelled a fair distance to see them all aswell

Second escort came up local when i didnt expect it, went to look at it on the off chance as didnt really like malard at the time, when i got there he had just killed the turbo and some of it ended up in the engine.
alot of hagueling later and i got myself a car that was pretty straight andi didnt care what colour it was at that price.... even if i did have to change engines etc
