stephens_xpack Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 I think it is the 3.0 as you got the nice orange stripes down the sides, they only came on the 3.0, plus i'm sure thats cappa yellow it's painted in. Anyway think of the extra friends you'll make.
badchild Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 Shock horror....the sheer thought of it.... an escort driver being acused of driving a capri Rolling Eyes I have nothing against capri's, in fact i'd love to own one. It's the fact that some prick is adamant on trying to tell me different to what I already know is right that pissed me off, not cause he said it was a capri.
sab6024 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 a ford main dealer tryed telling me they started making the ford escort in 1980 Funny a parts chappy in my local main dealer told me that Ford didn't build a car bigger than a 2.5 when asking for bits for my XR4x4......so I said "shit, you'd better tell Ford that as there's a Mondeo ST 220 in your showroom" Knobber
