So im sitting there waiting for the bus munch on my chips and cheese after a heavy night out and i see a old friend...

now this guy races hillclimb and the sprint in a mk4 turbo'd escort, so i ask him if he knows much about osf he says yes so we et in a convo about them

 

 

during this he states anglias came with pinto engines as standard i laughed and tried to correct him but he was convinced am ibeing real stupid or is this guy just some new skool loving Jackass that dont know alot?

goog good so it werent me being dumb!

 

I hate people that drive xr4's and plastic fords that think they know the whole history of ford when really they dont have a clue on anything other than escorts and feistas!

No affense escort and feista drivers!

[bronze4door]

maybe he was too pissed to know what he was talking about

 

if he was sober then i would start to worry about him

Fair play to every mans poison and all that

 

But if your not 100% about something then best not to open your gob

The number of time I have been told that someone used to have a Anglia, was a 1500GT fitted by Ford. Now I just say OK, but Anglia's were only ever fitted by Ford with the 997cc and 1198cc precrossflow engine.

 

What was the first vehicle Ford did with the Pinto? What year was it? A damn site later than 1967 I guess!!

I guess that depends what side of the Atlantic you go, over there I guess it was the Pinto that the engine was originally designed for and named after

 

 

But over here I'm pretty sure it was the Mk3 Cortina the engine was introduced in 1970 to replace the lamentably poor Essex V4

Didnt the US Ford Pinto debut around the same time as the Mk3 Cortina

So three years between the demise of the Anglia and the rise of the Pinto. I rest my case M'Lud!!
