Just browsing ebay for the usual ( rs turbo's ) and came across this,, i remember seeing it in the mags all them years ago! Think it looks pretty cool..in a weird way

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-Escor...item4606954e6a

 

i remember that same bloke had a cossie i think it started life as a 90 spec white xr3i

 

Do you need eye drops at the minute? He should have left it as a white 90 spec XR3i

 

Its horrendous...

 

Oh dear not a good looking car at all

 

Sorry mate but I don't think that link is working, this seems to link to something that makes my eyes burn !!!!

 

its not even an RS......what a turd

max power is guilty of so many things

 

The poor car. A bit of tlc and it would look good again.

 

Holy shit. Yes I do from my Half RS'd effort at being a chav days lol. Dont worry didnt last long lol.
Yeah he did have a green turned/grey saph with if I remember correctly White Camoflage Samco boost hoses. Wasnt a massive spec'd Saph I think but it ate the other guy Dan's
Blue Old Skyline on the rollers and 1/4 Mile blast, in the DVD they put out with a mag all them years ago. They bet a fiver on it and he wiped it up his RS and handed it over lol.
The birds in the vid were Feee I Fit . Used the old excuse of having the heater fans on full blast to keep the engine cool and she stripped off
Gonna You Tube it now to try and find it lol.

 

i've just been sick in my mouth

 

in a later mag about 2005 ish he swaped the cossie i think for a d reg s1 escort

 

I have seen and now I am wishing I had not seen it looks horrible

 

lol its not THAT bad come on... theres a lot worse on ebay!

Id have it because its got an rs turbo engine ,, but id rattle can spray it matt black just so i didnt get stared at by kids who point and laugh and ask their mothers if its a tank

 

I'd break it personally

 

So would I but only using and angle grinder and hammer

 

quick we need fire....and lots of it!

 

That's fucking dreadful

 

its not really for me, i think it would be much improved if it just had normal rear lights and fronts to for that matter. It isnt all as bad as everyone is making it out to be!

i know it was done a long time ago, but its still nice to see someone thinking outside of 'the box' and doing something different. Im a Ford man at heart but it does get abit boring seeing every single series 1, 2, escos, saph etc lined up at ford fair looking identical to the normal none anorak eye. Just slightly different stainless exhaust systems and either comps or standard alloys.
truthfully, the max power scene wasnt my cup of tea, but i think everyone will admit it was good fun and going round the shows gave you something to look at and talk about and you could be there all day and still have missed things. Its not quite the same anymore, and i think mostly its peoples criticism thats killed it off. Its a shame!

 

Hope its fast coz its got fuck all else going for it i

 

I remember it, to be fair it was ahead of its time with the cammo theme (the VW boys took that look up), still shit thouhg, remember the cossie pissing on the skyline, that was a good clip.

 

 

Christ i remember that car from years ago - looks just as bad now as it did back then

I wonder what some of the staff/writers who worked on those mags must think when they see their creations x number of years later Especially as i guess some of them probably still work in the same industry writing for mags like Autocar, Car, etc, whereby this sort of thing must be laughed at

Although i grew up surrounded by the whole big bodykit, etc, scene i can happily say i never had the urge to mod a car like that

 

Great find. Be copyin that later lol. Oh the memories lol

 

Thankfully I stopped buying it around 2000 but can anyone remember that fucking abortion of a 205 GTI in REVS that one of the writers was building?

 

Why was the cossie on a Q plate?

some memories there......

Gotta admit, i do like the machine gun exhausts on the Rs turbo... they are cool

 

How did these cars pass MOT's over there, you can only see about half of the front headlights?? plus if f**kin ugly!

 

what a waste of an xr3i

 

Yuck....

 

The state of the saphs front end too

 

Tragic

 

Also to quote this direct from the listing:

I somehow doubt the first thing is going to happen Something also makes me think the second is for all the wrong reasons
