For some reason I started browsing Escorts tonight and came across this. (No smutty jokes please! )

Cheers,

hold there money well and I quite like that, i am more into rs turbo's than these but this is still cool, its amazing how much is out and about for them.

that is car porn.....the s2 is an awesome car but that is beautiful

[macspring]

Wish my Avant

was like that. They do have a lovely shape. Never driven one. Unsure of how nice they are to drive?

If it was me and I'd deviated from standard, I would have put in a 2.0L Zetec and throttle bodies or a turbo or rotrex charger? And an LSD.

BTW, it is allowed to look at other makes of car, just as long as you do not buy them. Remember the life long legally binding terms and conditions you signed up for when you joined the S2 forum brotherhood.

or big turbo nos cos

[Flat on my back]

Sweet...

If only chavs had the sense to their thousands on cars like this...retro rocks.

[Knight Rider S4]

Love these motors..quite crazy me and my mate use to work on these when i was 18 , had a stock pile of them outside the house and you could pick them up for peanuts..MkII was more of the challenge at the time and converting to RS2000 using the cortina running gear

[RustyNut]

Stunning. McRae's RS2000 was also something to behold.

I had a Mk2 Cortina which I loved, 2 door of course, bought as a bog standard 1300, fitted a 1500 engine with GT cam, sarted shopping at Burtons, twin webber, little round filter, 4 branch EM and straight through system with cherry bomb, rally springs (shorter but raised the car a little ) ARBs, those steel wheels that were made to look like alloys.
I started working for a band and used to take all the seats out except the drivers and fill it with guitars and amps Brilliant car! Eventually sold to a mate who's girlfriend ran it out of water and seized it
