Some mad people

point being that I can hardly ever remember seeing a driver really giving some around the stages, not like it used to be 20 odd years back as the cars and parts were more readily available and whilst no doubt it was a pain to replace panels etc, at least you could get them.

Which meant that most of the time it was far more exciting to watch.

RAC rally last year loads of mk1/2 escort out there all being driving at 100% and mostly sideways and week in week out escorts regular beat alot newer and more expensive machines

Its not that long ago many were used in banger racing/ stock cars etc.
You pays your money and make your own choices what to do with the car ,as long as the cars enjoyed either on the road or stage its ok by me.
How many on here enjoy watching the clips of Escorts in the forests ?
I do for one.

It's a waste.........

plenty of ropey shells about that are still plenty good enough for rallying, but a 12 K shell, it's just ****ing cynical (i.e. must be a really rust free shell)

My thoughts exactly i posted this on Turbosport as i coulddnt get on here fer the last few days???? i think its a shame . nothin against modding old escys but as said above theres plenty to go at
