Smile Hi everybody (:

Hi Everyone, im an 17 year old boy from denmark, i just wanted to show you my Ford Escort.









This is how it looks like (: ,

It's an 1600 8 valve CVH with 105 Horsepowers.

But i just bought a 1800 16 valve Dohc with the MTX 75 Transmission, Rs 2000 Cooler, Cams, filter and exauste tip, it has about 140 horsepowers and 170 Nm.

The Interior is allmost Original, just a few things paintet in the color of the car, and some Racing Seats.

then the Exterior is fitted with some parts of the Cosworth Bodykit, Azev 17x7 Rims and that's about it.

i've used 21000 Danish krones on it, and that's about 2000 Us dollars.

I hope you'll enjoy the pictures and ill hope for some response on my thread..

In Denmark everything cost a lot, but the previous owner payed about 3500 Danish, and that's about 700 us dollar, and 300 Pounds.

DAMN ! you can just pay and then it's allright, in denmark, we are allowed to raise the cars horsepower by 20% in my case the new engine is allready illegal to fit in the car .. That Sucks ! ..

So if i get caught then i have a very big sum of money to pay !

Hmm ? Pretty Lame i think , well the try here i denmark to make a law, so that from 18 - 21 your only allowed to drive in a car with maximun 100 Horsepowers....

And the thing with turbo or supercharged, i dont think thats a problem i denmark, pĺ if you aftermarket install a turbo or any thing that gives it Bar pressure, that's damn illegal ! ..

I my self want to have a Cossie sometime, but its to exspencive in denmark, the Cheapest one, i found was about a 100.000 Danish.. And for that kind of money you can allmost buy the Mazda 2 completly new ....

welcome to pf dr nick

(i'm sureprised no one's said that so far to be honest)

as for younger drivers, everyone should be made to drive one of them little peel 49 cc things for the first 5 years after they pass their test, and only then would you be allowed to drive asnything else, even a motorbike

job jobbed and no more "high speed accidents" as they'll all be "low speed accidents"

Well, i had a Scooter for 5 year, and also been driving a little car, but it's illegal .. I have been on the road with one of my good mate's and he said" you drive pretty damn good for a first timer" ..
