Hi all thought I’d join a group that has similar interests to me, I’ve got a Mk2 escort with a few tweaks, look forward to meeting up at a show😎

Hi and welcome to the forum 

tell us a little more about the escort 👍

[Carlos77]

It’s a more door, running a 2.0 Zetec mated to a type 9 5 speed it’s got a half roll cage and all the strengthening plates in it, it’s not pristine but it’s on the road and makes me smile every time I drive it 👍

I think it’s like anything old, “work in progress” and it is used

I saw your stand at classic ford and was really impressed with the set up and thought that’s a club I’d like to be involved with 😎

Thank you. That was the smallest CFS stand we've had for years. Recent years at SantaPod have been 100+ cars, the best year topped out at around 140. Hopefully the organisers will iron out the issues raised about the new CFS venue and improve things for next year.

Come on Rich your old guard now! You just have a life still and not as entrenched with nowhere else to go like a few of us.

Welcome Carlos, 4 Door power!

Very tasty looking motor that. Loving the colour. Welcome to the forum.

The next event we're at is rally day at Castle Combe on the 21st of this month, then it's the classic car show at the NEC in November. Both great events for completely different reasons.
