yea i like the mk2 escort. rear-wheel drive to! little to much for insurance to start with though.
the owner before me has had it since new, it didn't run so it had sat for 3 years, turned out it was only the fuel pump, £10 ebay! its in mint condition! like a new car inside. for something thats 26 years old its in A1 condition. just want some of the 13" ford rs wheels to go on it

i likes it..
yeah a rear wheel bad boy would not be good as your first car.. although it might make you learn how to drive properly!!

My first car was a "Y" reg fiesta in beige with grey primer! no where near as well looked after as your excellent mobile! and that was nearly ten years ago!!
It only lasted 2 weeks though as my first lesson in under steer killed it!

fatreg the escort would be fun! not for a while yet.
poor fiesta! hopefully nothing like that happens to mine, few little things need to get it through the MOT and should be cruising about! cant wait
