Escort owners...

[JonnyT]

I had, whilst filling up my mk2 escort, an asian lad shouting in my ear "Awesome, you don't see enough mk1 jetta's with wide arches in my opinion". Fish cock.

[105Nick]

Everywhere I go I get someone used to own one of them, I got to the same 24 hour garage 3 times week and the same old bat always says "oooh is that your Anglia, I used to have one of those..." Yeah I know now

 

And asking how old it is, I ad one old bint ask me if the Anglia is a Triumph Herald That's not even funny.

[rs new boy]

i had some asian guys working on the house next door they said to me what car is it mate and i said what do think it is and the one guy said back is it a toyota i just turned round and carried on sanding

I had a guy tell me that the mex was to

comemorate the football win in 1970.

 

And i had a guy once to mk2 nosecone my mk1

 

I'm gonna get some stickers made up that read:

"No its not a mex."

Guy in the petrol station asked "is that you Cortina", no its a Mk1 Escort. Oh yes came the reply, thats what I meant, its a Mexico. No its a Mk1 RS2000, I replied. Are you sure came the reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have to be able to laugh about it, at least people realise they are rare and special.

I'm waiting for another 20 or 30 yrs time when someone pulls into the fuel stn in their Focus......I can say I used to know someone that had one of those. It had neons and a rediculous ironing board for a spoiler on the back

 

Thats when I'll be a more irritating sod than I am now

 

Pip, YKT mate - LMAO

 

I have had a few questions, but they seem to have stopped at "I used to have one of those when I was younger".

 

But a short while ago, I was asked "So, what Capri is it mate, & what engine is it?" Obviously, the Chav's and that person cannot read my tailgate!

 

Then by the same person, and this I couldn't believe, "So is it an Injection then?" eeeerrrrrrrmmmmm, now let me see what these bright red stickers say on the 2 front wings, oh and theres another on the tailgate!!!

 

Finally, I have been offered substantial amounts of folding stuff for the Capri, but I turned it down, then by the same doris, I was offered marriage eeeerrrrrrrmmmmmm - NO THANKS!

That reminds me....someone once told me, and he was quite firm about this, that my mk2 4door was a capri. obviously the fact that not only does it say escort on the back, but it also IS an escort seemed to escape his mind...

I get asked asked the same questions about my mk1 mex but am quite happy to chat, especially when youngsters show an interest, you've just gotta educate them as to what a proper car is, quite funny when you tell them it's got twin 40's, not sure they even know what a carburettor is.

Some lad asked me if I wanted to buy an X-Pack kit for my MK1 Escort

I ad one old bint ask me if the Anglia is a Triumph Herald That's not even funny.

 

There's a whole thread on 105speed.com about that! It's quite a common mistake apparently.
