awesome collection he has
600 miles He went from Northern Ireland to Denmark with a trailer to fetch it

I love mk2 escorts but if I had that garage and his bank balance I think i'd fill it with other toys.

The RS 200 makes me feel all funny I had the pleasure of getting to sit in one last year - God its small inside!!

A guy did 00 in his RS200 for the WRC last month too
