Hello all,
after lurking for some time decided to register on OSF.
My name is Leon and live in the Netherlands. Many moons ago we had an Escort RS Club (Mk1 and Mk2) but that has ceased to exist. We (my mate Aad, his car is on the Minilite Retards Club page, and myself) organised the RSOC European Event in Baarlo (speedwaytrack) in 1992-1994 and the Classic Ford Event in Venlo 2010-2014.
