Definitely a success as your posts are always informative. I get embarrassed by some of my longer posts.

 

Flocks of women? Is that the Anglia influence / advantage? Escorts definitely dont have that effect! And owning 2 makes no difference. Even from what I read there in the UK they only seem to attract Gypsies! (Is that un PC?)

Yes its a bit like saying all aussies are criminals

prime example of having your pants pulled down with an escort. mk2 mexico for sale on ebay, 30 grand best you can get. not pulling it down cos it is very nice, but its got a copy front spoiler, sport dash clocks, cheapo bucket seats, and the chrome bits that should come with a mexico are black. for 30 grand i'd want it as original as possible.

Reading this i would say escort 3 anglia nil

Not quite statistically true, put it into pro rata of escort to Anglia owners and we are still on top.

Which chrome bits are you referring to?

chrome door handles and the plastic silver windscreen inserts and gutter trims. i know its the fashion to black all the chrome but its not exactly a cheap car, and for that price i'd want the originality.

I like Anglia's (there I've said it!) my first car was an Anglia 1200 super, no idea what was Super about it, the seat was stopped from dropping onto the road by a piece of pine planking, it used so much oil I got a grant from Saudi, and it was an asbestosis hazard due to being built of mainly of filler.

 It taught me a lot, like checking tyre pressures because when an osr tyre blows due to under inflation on a fast left hander things go all squirrelly, it taught me that MOT's could be got over the phone, it taught me how to build an engine that didn't run as a two stroke, it taught me how to corner sideways, it taught me how to anticipate crap, because the brakes surely wouldn't help. It taught that when things went a bit wrong your ring could actually eat the vinyl seat covering, it taught me how to talk nicely to policeman........ I could go on, but I won't, I have a lot to thank Anglias for.

 

I drive an Escort. :D

anglias are equally as cool as escorts in my book!

 

I didnt even realise there was a rivalry between the two till I joined this site. Here all the Euro Fords stick together as family and the V8 Yobbo Muscle Car Brigade is the enemy.
