im not intrested in french crap, pugs or saxos.

I will either be buying a s1 or a mk 2 escort anyway, so might as well track it, was simply asking what in peoples opinions would be better.

ive always wanted a mk1 and mk2 escort, also a s1,

mk 1 is a bit pricey, but 5k on either a s1 or mk2 i should get a pretty nice car.

Ive tracked both, had alot of fun with the mk2 rs2000. The best track car ive owned has got to be a westfield, cheapest to mantain as well. Tough 1.
