GJUK Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 I was stopped at a petrol station by someone who 'used to rally them'. "Wow geeza nice mk2 Cortina" The Dodge Dart is better though for attention , I think more people like the mk1 escort however.
Leo Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 First time I got fuel in mine, a lady came up to me and said. " oh I love your capri". I didn't know what to say to that. 1
PeteRS8084 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Well at least she got the make right, if only the model had come to mind lol!
colr6 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 At least there are still some people not brainwashed into escorts lol 1

285Andy Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 I didnt like the attention so sold my mk1 escort. Then built a 100e and was much less. Just nice actually lol 1
PeteRS8084 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 We are all shy and reserved...........you should know that you have met enough of us. You know we all have pastel coloured cars, with quiet standard exhausts, although I have heard that some may have done stuff to there engines that will, perhaps make them slightly louder and faster. But nothing that will attract no more attention than any other brilliant old skool ford! 1
colr6 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Never has so much crap been written in such a short paragraph ........LOL 1

DT36 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Called into the Ford Dealers in mine last week to see if they could get me a genuine Ford chassis plate, as mine is in bad condition. (They couldn't). While stood in the spares department, there must have been about 6 lads come out from the workshops and were all over my car outside. Had a good chat with them talking about the car, with the bonnet popped up for about 5 minutes. Then their Gaffer came out and they all had to go back in to do some work . Some of the older lads seemed to know the cars fairly well and said they miss working on the old skool stuff.
escortmad79 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Posted May 19, 2016 When I had my mk1 Mex lookalike I was sat at a set of traffic lights in town with a pub opposite. All I heard from the pub as someone opened the door was "F*CK ME!! A mk1 Escort!" Coming from within. Had a chuckle at that. Driving my estate through Torquay one day two guys walking down the road both pointed at it & shouted "mk1 Escort!" Yes, yes it is. 1
