When ever anyone says a mk1/2 Escort is not competitive i point them to the only fair rally in the world ... the MULL

 

All other rallies the WRC . FEWD 1600's etc etc etc etc , get to run the roads before the Escorts... and if anyone has seen a stage after 130 odd cars have run it then you'll know why the Escorts are down on times .. gravel spead all over the place etc .

 

Yet on the mull he with the quickest time runs first, he with the slowest runds last.. so could that be the reason Escorts win it so regulary or to that point a friend of mine came 14 O/A last year infront of 20 odd WRC car is in a 2wd 1600 cc 105e .. (tim pic please) the same car he has rallied for 30 years with a budget of bugger all.

 

And lets not forget what they do on the race tracks ...

all u got to do is look at his number of post 3,hes just a trouble maker just like the people we got on here askin stupid question

 

if other cars of the same age were as popular and as developed then i think escort would not be as dominate as they are.

opel manta are just as quick as mk2 in the forst but they just lack the numbers

I seen 2 pages and turned off, i feel nowt but pitty for those who do not realise how mighty the old skool ford is. Roger and Ari are names that spring to mind both hugely successful in mk2s she hasnt heard of them it would seem.

MK2

 

 

 

Sorry but i think they are a really ugly car

 

Apparantely they only won the Irish Tarmac series twice as they werent a great tarmac car.

 

Chevettes, Asconas and Mantas cleaned them.

 

And why does everyone have the "best MK2 in the country"?

Get a life
