There was another car involved with that scrap but I can't remember who!? Scottie was in the Fiesta wasn't he or was it the Escort?
Ahh just remember, was it Gareth Lloyd!?
Probably my fav Escort of all time!

IIRC it was originally featured in a Ford magazine (can't remember which though) around 1989/1990. Think Paul Bailey was still a photographer or electrician then?

It probably won't appear for a long while, if ever at all, as Paul is more interested in his Aviation business now-adays

nah it was when it was a plain jane standard looking red rs2 with capri brooklands running a cossie turbo motor,him and his mate Rob B were always in the RSOC mag back in them days,it was great fun.
the pic Mr Turbosystems posted is after that
imo it was a better car when it was standard looking
