Ohh want^^^ what a sleeper

 

Epic aint it? Don't think I'll ever put a YB in mine though. Too expensive to buy now.

 

Now i like that.

 

Me too Glenn! Just wish YB engines were a bit cheaper.

 

 

 

An assortment of Ford's from the British Rallycross at Lydden last month:

Ford Escort (59) (Roger Lippens) & Volkswagen Polo (47) (Bjorn Barkhoff) by Steve White, on Flickr

 

Nice pics there, that mk1 escort looks great.

 

 

Agreed. The mk1 looks the nuts

 

It's a beautifully prepared car. I've seen it a few times before and always think it looks too good to be used for rallycross!

Yes, lovely. What engine does it run?

I must get along to watch this, Trevor Reeves used to teach me on track days and he won the work champs back in the day.

 

lovely mate

 

The mk1 does look almost too good to use.

 

Turbo'd Duratec if I remember rightly.

The Escort runs in the Belgium Championship, so chances are it won't be back in the UK again this year. There is another British round of the Championship at Lydden in August, and the World Championship is there next month!

 

Forgive the double post, but a trio of Escort Cossies on track at Brands last weekend:

 

Not a ford but thought i'd share

 

Thanks, I will try to get along and take my daughter to get another generation hooked.

 

Wtf was invented for this

 

Eh??????

 

My old smoker

 

Loud and lairy, I like it!

 

U can't miss it in a car park lol

 

Ha ye I bet!

 

What I mean is, what the fuck is that. Wtf. How could a petrol turbo work well in a heavy 4x4 agricultural vehicle? The diesel unit that was put in it would have been far better suited so why do it....so the saying 'wtf' as in what the fuck....was invented for this. Do you get it now?

 

Ye I get it, guess its cause they could? This one seems to work alright

 

 

first time out

 

Very nice!

 

 

My work van after bank holiday weekend










And one of before

 

bet that thing flies

 

Haha not at all unfortunately. I'm getting a brand new company van in 2 weeks so I'm going to do something with this as it's really not worth anything to sell so hopefully be a little faster probably zetec it but not sure yet has been a good old van though so would be a shame to scrap it

 

My old onion turbo

 

Then in the dealers this picture was taken in 1987 there is a dealer mark up Ł20500 ,list price was Ł19995, not too greedy .

 

Funny how 29 years ago can seem like a century. By then Anglia's and 100E's were already approaching 30 years + and RS2000's were just a few hundred squids.

Great pics...wish someone could invent a time machine

 

Few Fords spotted at the third and fourth rounds of the World Rallycross Championship...

 

Lost to the Paris flooding a couple of weeks back

 

Where can I get one of these for my Escort?

 

my old banger at 'simply ford' this year
