Default Finally got the car ( Escos )out to do some miles on new engine.......

Finally due to some slightly dry roads i decided to get the car out to do some just deserved running in miles!

I also managed some quick pics!


Just out of the garage..






after about 20 miles, i decided a few extra pics wouldnt go amiss.....


Before anyone says anything... YES i have seen the seatbelt hanging out!
















Now back in the garage after a wash with 380 miles on! Not bad, hope to get to the 1000 miles mark over Xmas!!

Santa owes me a remap!!!LOL

Awsome car Karl, must be the weekend for getting Escorts back on the road, drove mine about 6 miles which is the furthest it has moved in 2 years on Saturday, got it all tracked up ...

Whats the new engine spec? LOVE the std headlights and the RL7's, looks the bollocks on a flat black car, tempted to put my std lights back in....

Now now Paul, you don't want to be accused of 'slagging' peoples cars.

Although actually I did say to Karl that I preferred the Ronnies as well , but it's all personal choice, the whole car looks fabulous anyway I reckon.

ps Have you seen my new one?
