Default Blue EscCos being trailered down the M4 eastbound today?

As title really (sometimes I think we should have a "Was it you?" forum, as its not often I see Cossies barring at shows), standard wheels, passed it in the (rear bumperless ) Chaser somewhere between Swindon and Reading about 2ish this afternoon.

Trailered by a 4x4 of some sort, forget what.

Anyone from here?

I reckon so, but when he said blue Escos, 4x4 and the location - well all sounded a bit Mad Yum ish!

So who was it then? Hmm....

Like said, looked standard, stock wheels etc.

Why would YUM be around Swindon way?

Anyhow, had an even odder one earlier, a immaculate green bubble arched Mk1 Escort RS2000 on the M5 southbound just before 9am

Seeing as you seem to like being argumentative for no reason I'll explain it for you....

Possibly because you said this:

Which as I said sounded Mad Yum ish... in so much as he has a Blue Escos, sadly has to trailer it a lot, and has a 4x4 to tow it with. It lives on the M4 as Mark Shead's place is the next junction down from the Reading junction on the M4, so the chance of it being him was IMHO HIGHLY LIKELY.

Turns out it wasn't, but could well have been.

Standard wheels means nothing, as he's in the process of stripping / selling it (or was last time I read his post), and the rest of his particular car is visually standardish.

Last thing I read on his resto post was Martin offering to break the car for him so it could have been going from MAD to Reyland.

Do you understand now?

Hope that clears things up for you

You been on the booze mate? Whos arguing?
I simply said I didnt think it would be YUM as it looked standard and was heading east from Swindon on M4, and YUM lives east of there, and doesnt look standard
