Default Nice Ford write-up on Pistonheads with Pics!

You have to have a read of this! What a lucky git! Even got to take home 4 cars of his choice!

Here's the link with some stunning pics! http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/news/de...?storyId=17568

I'm loving the WRC Escort!

Think my 4 would have been the WRC Escort Cos, a Ford GT, the Lotus Cortina and an RS200!

Well, that lucky sod was me!

I have a write up on my work PC, so I'll post tomorrow. The deal was that I could take home anything that wasn't on the track, so all the rare and race stuff was out.

I had a very rare Escort Cossie last weekend. It was a Monte Carlo limited edition. Of 200 built, this one was serial 000. I was seriously impressed.

Of course, mega thanks to John, Ivan and the others at Ford and to Paul at PH. Actually, I really enjoyed the factory tour, being a car geek and a techie. I wish I could have seen the environmental test lab, but we ran out of time there.

More tomorrow....
Lucky Bastid!!!

His 1st write-up
