i have been thinking of a change of car recently. I love the Escort, but i have done just 2k miles in 5 years !!!

I have been thinking of a 3dr as a rally rep track car, but to build it would mean the Escort will have to go

thought of tracking the Escort , but it would be such a shame as its soooo clean and i would never push it hard from fear of spoiling it...

besides i would like a bit of RWD fun ( 4x4 trans is so expensive !! )

thoughts anyone

 

I'd keep your Escort mate, there's not many out there with such a good spec as yours!

Can you not buy a cheap track toy, not necessarily another Cossie? Just something thats still RWD for abit of fun?

 

track it mate get some use out of it nobody wants to give what they are worth when it comes to selling them , just booked my esc cos on combe for first time fed up with keeping it in garage

 

have a car that you can use both on track and on the road, best of both worlds.

saves having a car sitting there when not on track etc....

 

Gotta be the track 3 door mate,


Beats sitting at shows hands down

 

good call, but i would have to build a bigger garage to do that ?? but not a bad idea. Except knowing me, costs would get out of control

i have been tempted to take it on track, but dont want to spoil it.
she is in need of some " touch ups " so i may have a go ???

 

go for it mate mine has 66k full history , stone chips on front but really nice car paid 13 grand for it , hardly ever use it stage 3 ,18 " azevs , time for some fun in it , i am insured for 13500 with rsoc so on track if shit did happen would get back 12500. liable for first 1000 , its up to you , sounds like you feel like me good luck mate best to use it imo, than sell it on for a loss unless you are lucky .have some fun my mates go on track regulaly and love it not in esc cos but saffs,but try and get a track car in good nik for good price good luck , it pisses me off too

 

Look at it this way, you can show a track car, but you can't track a show car

 

i dont understand the enjoyment of having a show car, or a powerful car you dont use properly.

get a car to use IMO

 

Show cars are for gays!

 

px the escort with pauls track slag 3 door im sure a deal could be done

 

keep your esco and grab a cheap e36 m3 for the track job done

 

theres nothing wrong with being a " bufty " lol

i do use the car hard, but then spend the next week cleaning it !! in places i am not willing to admit !!!

as i have never actualy done a track day, i am thinking of the " 2nd toy " idea, maybe a S2 or XR2 to see how it goes, ( and if i can " Drive " lol )
or some cheep RWD thing... just need the space to put it

but this would take funds from the Esc Cos " box fund "


to do, to do

 

Why not get a saff track car, cheaper to buy and re-shell if you bite the shit.

 

just track it and see how u feel afterwards !!

mine will be getting put on croft again this year

just watch the graavel traps

 

decided not to go 3dr now, been looking at RS 200 rep`s !!!!!!

 

won't do it any harm to take it on track as long as you stay on it.

just have a go and then see whats better....buftying or tracking.

 

he,ll never pick acloth up again,only to clean off the flies at dinner
