[marky4]

blimey, thats stunning

will be interesting to see what that goes for

[c20xe]

Just about to put a 10K maximum bid on then I realised it had 4 doors nearly wasted me money!!!

[YOUNGY]

ye but what a motor.

[D4N]

Thats stunning. there must not be another escort around with less miles and as clean as that!!

[countrybumpkin]

Just about to put a 10K maximum bid on then I realised it had 4 doors nearly wasted me money!!!

 

nothing wrong with a 4 doors, and it wouldnt matter if it was a 2 door, estate or van i doubt there will be much diffence in the final price as it is such a rare car in that condition

 

and also this isnt the place to be if you want to slag off 4 door escorts so dont do it

[Retro-gone.]

here here, whats all this bollox about 4 doors not been worthy!

[bronze4door]

4 doors are the future and i really want that car

[bortaf]

here here, whats all this bollox about 4 doors not been worthy!

 

Well where's your 4 door then you 2 door owner you

 

what's that you say never made a 4 door capri what sort of excuse is that

[Retro-gone.]

ive had 4 door cortinas tho

 

i just dont understand why 2 doors are better than 4 , i can understand it from a full on rally spec car point of veiw but not a stock road car or a car thats pretending to be a rally car.

[tom28]

that is in amazing condition but i don't like mk1 4drs, i love mk2 4 drs, only reason i don't like them is because that back door handle don't line up lol, i know is silly but its true, love mk1 2drs thoo

[Cossie_Power]

that is mint abit of a shame through not to use a car, can never understand why someone would buy a car and never use it. just sit it there as an orlament

 

everyones entiteled to personal prefrence with the 2 door 4 door thing i personly prefure 2 door but thats cos i like the look better but thats not to say theres anything wronge with 4 doors

[BIGKEV]

That poor car - it doesnt even know its an escort - its been locked away for so long - I would love to have that as a daily smoker - would be awesome - no doubt it will go on someones mantlepeice.

[c20xe]

and also this isnt the place to be if you want to slag off 4 door escorts so dont do it

 

When you travel 250 miles a week in a 4 door Escort,then I think I'm qualified to slag them off!!!!!

[countrybumpkin]

i dont see what thats got to do with anything as a 4 door is no differnt to drive than a 2 door, the only difference is you must be ashamed of driving it, my 4 door mk1 used to do a hell of a lot more mileage per week than that and was a fook site more pratical than a 2 door

 

so i still dont think you have the right to slag them off

[lotusless]

its an osf for fook sake i dont care if its got

twenty doors its up to £7200 now

+ will probably go higher, but as bigkev said what

a shame that it will probably be a trailer queen now

[countrybumpkin]

in away its a shame it will be a trailer queen but equaly it would be a shame to ever use it

[antz]

and also this isnt the place to be if you want to slag off 4 door escorts so dont do it

 

When you travel 250 miles a week in a 4 door Escort,then I think I'm qualified to slag them off!!!!!

 

i think your qualified to shut the duck up.

[Daggle]

So then 2 doors or 4 doors, but which is better?

 

There is only one way that we can sort this out

 

FIGHT

 

Honestly though, why would travelling 250 miles a week in a 2 door Escort be better then travelling 250 miles in a 4 door?

Unless you are driving with both back doors open, then I can see that, that would affect the fuel consumption and would be cause to moan about a 4 door what other things would be cause to moan about a 4 door?

My escort mk2 i bought 18 months ago with 32k from new,mint,now with 61k on the clock and a dent or scrape in every panel its my daily transport, why? cos its cheap and fun ,it wouldnt be if I polished it ,admired it, polished it,admired it,took it everywere on a trailer,got it featured in a mag Use and abuse!!!!!

 

and then posted on Aug 06 2006 by c20xe:

A minimum of 300 miles a week,but when I get home after work I wash and polish the bodywork and chassis and pick all the stones out of tyres,at the weekends the bonnet is held up with a wooden stick with rubber stoppers on the end and sheets of stainless steel are placed under the car ,once I've driven it up my custom made ally ramps and as for you using that 100e for 50 mile round trip without cleaning it,you should be ashamed of yourself young man!!!!

 

 

Seems like c20xe can't make up his mind about what he uses his own car for, so I guess he can't comment about whether 4 doors are better then 2

[D4N]

I like 2 doors more but dosn't mean i would never have a 4door! I think 4 doors can look better than a 2 door often.

 

I wish there would be more 4doors out on rallys. But the bloody historic chapmionship dosn't allow them to use 4 doors. i think (corect me if im wrong)

[one-day]

its got a crossflow in it also take a hard look at the speedo o and 4 doors are the new cool car to haveu only have to take a look at the modern cool plastic about today

[mk1super]

This may sound deeply sad and upset a few but i'd feel guilty modding or using such a mint car. Ok so some say its got 4 doors its a shopper, who cares how many doors it has you tell me anyone in there right mind who wouldnt want such a car in time warp condition

 

If it were mine it would get an unleaded head an that would be it, even though banded steels, a cage and a 1700 xflow, would make it into sumit special

[over_head_cam]

There seems to be a bit of over sensitvity on this thread.

 

 

 

 

Fight? Lol@Daggle

[steve mk2]

i can never get bored of reading arguments over 4doors and 2 doors i think its so petty and pathetic yet funny at the same time.

 

ive owened both yet sold my 4door to fund my 2door if it wasnt for the family history of this 2door i would still be racking up the miles in my 4door. either way they are much better than any of the plastic shite that every other kid my age drives and its faster

[countrybumpkin]

i've owned both 2 and 4 door, i wish i still had my 4 door as it was so much more pratical than my 2 door. i just dont see why people slag them off afterall there just the same as any other escort
