Hello all

[Smudger71]

A big hello to all the existing members from a newbie member.

 

I have been a big fan of Ford Escorts since owning a few Ford Escort's in the past but inbetween then and now i have owned various other makes of cars but recently i decided to own a Ford once again.

 

Well about 6 weeks ago  it all fell into place and i am now the proud owner of a classic (ish  ) Ford once again.

 

Its a 1989 Ford Escort Mk4 1.6 Ghia Automatic and i had to travel all the way to Beckenham, Kent from Leicester to collect her but driving her back through London, onto the M25 and then finally onto the M1 was well worth it and i had a giant smile like a cheshire cat for the majority of the journey  .

 

She needs a bit of TLC but all in all she is in quite good nick for a 25yr old car.

 

 

 

 

My ideal car to own would be a MK1 Escort Mexico and I am currently saving up in order to purchase a restoration project in the not too distant future hopefully.
