4DOOR-SHERWOOD Posted May 1, 2010 Report Posted May 1, 2010 I decided to take the mk1 out today and was only out for about an hour....had 3 people tell me it looked great, a few light flashes and thumbs up from other drivers and got to show a scooby up who never expected a 1973 escort to be packing a turbo!!! on the whole the old girl made my day and made me appreciate her! Just wondered if you folks had been out and about and if your beast put a smile on your faces today?!! even gave it a wash!!
