You share your beer with your dog James? Epic! I hope you wipe the bottle neck, I've seen where they lick🤮

**** off James! 😂The summer this year has been as wet as a haddocks codpiece, winter is just the same only darker☹️

Pint of orange cordial for me

Serious Fraud Office are looking at that James, await the early morning knock on your door......😂😂

I'll just park this bit of pointlessness here.......😂😂

Not much difference, my Escort's well fooked, and a lady of the night is too.............

It depends on what the roof looks like when put up. They usually look like they've been nicked off a pushchair.

Just noticed the reg number, it's a Mk1 with a nose job. The only bit I don't like are the mirrors.

Ooooh James! Showing porn, and you a moderator too! I'd prefer her old sister with the prettier front but same rump. 😋😂 I'd not kick it out of the garage though! Love it.

I remember when I was about 14/15, (1970/71), seeing a bubble arched Mk1 Estate in Richmond Park that was badged Mexico, it was pale pink. I was told it was someone to do with the Royal Family.

It's neck and neck for me, I'd have either makes, (or Opal) except a Manta B, my coupe was knuckle bitingly pretty but handled like a hammered camel. Whilst an Escort might look a bit like a plain lass, but she she scrubs up well and likes a good spanking on the back roads.

James, are you trying to get me divorced? If I bring anymore car stuff into the house she'll sling my hook for me!😂😂

Our Escort has been in the family nearly 40yrs, my son bought if off my sister when he was 16 and rebuilt it ready for his 17 birthday. When he was going to Uni he decided to sell it and a guy came round to buy it, I left him to it but watched at a distance. I realised my son was getting bullied into a deal and wandered over to hear the comments coming from under the car as the "Faults" were described. I knew the car inside out by this time, and I should add I was a Police Advanced Vehicle Examiner, it was very tidy. When the chap emerged he saw me and told me the car was junk and the gave us his generous offer. My son was nearly in tears. I told the chap that it might be advisable if he left, in the quiet, delicate way a grumpy 6'5", 18 stone, Yorkshireman can. We still have the car, My son is now 42. (Cost me a bloody fortune over the years though😂)

Ford have no idea of heritage, even the modern VW Beetle, Fiat 500 etc. had the history, Ford haven't a clue look at the new Mustang. If I want an electric car I'll buy a Scalextric.

The Mk2 poverty spec Panda was not as strong as the Mk1, They bent the doors tight shut if you drove them down a flight of steps. (don't ask me how I know this I have no idea who was driving it and according to the log book it wasn't booked out😉) My right shoulder hurt for days opening the door.......😂

I like my little 1300 Kents, 1360 screamer with standard 4 speed gearing is a hoot on twisty roads. It's a nightmare on motorways, but I live in rural Shropshire. It was built when we lived in the Yorkshire Dales and had to drive at least 25 miles in any direction to see a traffic light (country boys make their own entertainment😂). I don't need a trailer queen with a hi-po engine to have fun. Small Kent parts are still reasonably easy to get as they seem unloved. I wish I had a Pound for every time I've been told by a non Escort owner, "You want a Zetec in that mate". WHY? Bragging rights? B0LL0CKS! Your car, your rules, It's all about fun.......... Isn't it?

It started off as a hardtop, was rusted out by the early 90's and a previous owner decided to restore it, but used a NOS factory convertible shell from T D Fitchetts. The project ran out of steam and ended up in the back of a garage business until a boss of a paint company looking for a project saw it, and it got painted, engine rebuild and 5 speed box added, then was sold on again. I thought it was a ringer at first as it's a 1978 reg and convertibles weren't made until 1980, the dealer selling it to me had to make enquiries with its previous owners as to its history. So, it's not so much been restored as rebuilt with all new parts, then cosseted. I'm not sure if its a keeper yet, as I bought following a row with the missus, she doesn't like it, so that's in its favour...........😂😂

I sold the white Victor longroof, long story, and bought this on a late night whim last November. I'm 6'5"and find it surprisingly comfortable, no scuttle shake (like a mk1 Golf Cabrio), and it handles like a Mk1 Escort. It'll do for summer.

Go on then, give us a clue Graham, doesn't look like a Six Nations ground to me.🤔

I think that was Custom Car featured. Stronger drugs in the 70's............😂

My Eyes! Why? It looks like a Mk2 Popular that reversed into a workman's toilet tent. a conversion done in a shed in the dark. 😬

Too small James? Amazon Australia Karlsson KA5364SI - Mini Wall Clock with Calendar - Drop Display - Silver : Amazon.com.au: Clothing, Shoes & Accessories

And that car, children, is why you must never do drugs.

Ford did the same with the long roof, I'll now run and hide..............😂
