I'd have been out of a job long ago if I had to rely on my Cortina

 

Having said that it has made the trip to work and appears to have legendary status - it certainly draws more attention than the boss' car and that really p**** him off

thats what its all about for me!

 

i cant wait til i can drive that escort and park it between the bmw's and scoobys and draw all the attention away from them...

I work for ford and i get to drive all their new cars and they are boring as fook They are only designed to go from A-B economically and thats it. I can never wait to get home and open the garage up to see the old escort begging for me to take it out.

I do like the ST's some of them are quite tasty

 

NEW cars = Boring

 

On the whole I agree.

I had loads of fun with my 'old' Escorts - RS's and Mexico's, but I've also had loads of fun with 4x4 Sierra's, and my wife's new Fiesta ST is an absolute hooligan (and probably quicker than any of the RS's).

I think the difference between the 'Old Skool' and the 'New Skool' is the fact that I know I can drive the Fiesta between services without lifting the bonnet (was the same with the 4x4's as well).

 

When I was a mere youth I used to love tinkering with my 'every day' car, but now I'm an old fart I'd rather spend the time in the garage with my 'toy' than working on my real transport.

 

Lets face it though, as long as it's got a blue oval it must be OK
