17 - learnt to drive and passed driving test in Mk2 Escort 1.3 GL 4 door.
For first two years of driving I used my Dads Mk1 Escort Van 1.3.

That was it, until the mid 1980's when I started stage rally co-driving in a Mk2 Escort Group 1 1300. After two sucesfull years, we rebuilt the car to Group 4 with a 1600 BDA. We had mixed success over the next two years, but then my driver got married and had to sell the car.

That was the end of my Mk2 Escort era until I started building the Group 4 Mk2 with the 2.3 Duratec about 3 years ago.

Had a MKIV 1.3L skater as a 1st car (but I know that doesn't count)! Bit of a late developer with MK2's - 25 when I got my RS2000, but I did have a MKIII Zodiac when I was 18! All my mates thought I was mad, until they realised you could get 7 people in it with no seatbelts!! - Great for going clubbing in! Bench seats are also great for shagging birds down country lanes!! No need to waste time jumping in the back!!
