[badchild]

There was a small vintage car and tractor run today less than a mile from my house so it would have been rude not to take the escort Anyway it ended up at a GAA club and we were parked up and some guy came over to talk about the mk1 (my head was wrecked with the amount of people asking me about it lol) and said his brother has a mk1 with the droop snoot, I replied no thats the mk2. He looked at me like i had horns on my head No mate it's one of them he told me

 

Yeah fair enough mate must be rare

 

He said it was

I pulled up outside my local pub the other day in my 2.8i and an old git was banging on at me about how dangerous they are! ALso how I need to put a bag of cement in the boot because once he crashed one. And he thought it was a 2.0L!!!! lol

 

I just told him I have had it 3 years and I havn't crashed it yet!!!!!!

I had some guy stop me in a MaccyDs drive-thru and ask if my Capper is a 3.0l. I said no it's a 1600LS and he said but it's got the 3.0 bonnet. I said no it's the 1.6 bonnet.......that confused the bugger

[sambo]

In my mk1 escort i always get...

 

"is it a mexico mate?"

or " Is that a lotus one mate?"

or " my mate had one of those, it had a weber on it and it went like hot sh*t off a shovel"

 

at least they know that it could have a lotus lump or be a mex i spose but it still annoys me!

My lad tells me the local kids call mine "chitty chitty bang bang" due to the popping and spitting, idiots

[DarrenM]

The mechanic at my local village garage said my Cortina 1600E was a GT because the clocks were on top of the dash. I explained that the series 1 1600E's had them there as well but he said no only GT's because his dad had owned one and the 1600E had them down in the dash.
