spotted an orange mk2 escort earlier

[Yeomans22]

i was parked up in my mk2 looking at some used cars, and it drove past gave the thumbs up, and thought wish i was driving at the time, as you don't often see them going about

 

on the way back i had to go the long way to miss some speed bumps, stopped at the lights, look behind, and pulling out the pertol station is the orange mk2, he pulls up along side have a little chat,

 

he asked what engine i've got i said 1600 and he didn't believe me

 

so as were at the lights, had a little race down the main stratford road in solihull, pretty even, then following each other down the road, some ford sales people at bristol street couldn't believe their eyes seeing 2 mk2's giving it some past them,

 

at the next lights were at the front again, turns out hes a local chap, never seen him before, but good to know theres still laods of old escorts knocking about.

 

anyway no real point to this but kinda made my day, and it what i like about old fords people wouldn't do that in a vectra or something, just a good feeling

Found 2 yesterday

 

1st we see it everytime we go to this meetin, in this mk1 Mexico he drives past gets fuel and drives bk again, yesterday we were in the RS and he drives past, hunted him down, drove past him, both gave it the thumbs-up outta the window to each-ova

 

Next one, driving back from helpin our m8 get his vette running, saw a mk2 cortina in a lay-by at the side of the road, went bk to see if all was ok, turns out it was Lukeys bro, he had bad vibrations over a certain speed, so we followed him for a bit, then he had to limp it bk home.

 

 

But ye i know the feeling when ya see another Old Ford

[Yeomans22]

yeah as soon as i see an old ford, for some reason just gives you a good feeling.

 

the noise of 2 escorts side by side, acclerating in 2nd was immense down the high street,

 

then some twat from where i work in a peugeot 206 gti, thought he was a bad man, so was revving his bag of shit, but no one was looking at him.
