[crazymonkey]

[stevecrx]

That is awesome plain and simple. I even showed the other half who I know has no interest in cars.

[minitravellerman]

[dungbug]

[irmscher]

[deadlikeme]

first escort I can really see the point with ha ha mental love it!

[mk2polobloke]

Seems reasonably nippy I suppose ;D
What does it run on the quarter?
You say it can run on the road so I assume it has an MOT? What about the emissions, must be off the scale surely? Carbs are never accurate at the best of times let alone that pair of vessels feeding a 9.3 litre V8! Or is the MOT man your best mate!
Wild ride mate, got anymore detail pictures so we can see what's under the outer skin?

Thought this was a typo and I was going to see a 150bhp screaming 4 pot, this surprised me to say the least. What are you expecting it t run in the quarter? 12 gallons to the mile?! That boggles my mind.

[grizz]

Serious power and capacity there.

I take it you have some build or stripped back pics.

If you were to to technically take it on the road, would plod not pull you for having the line of vision obstructed and slap you with a hand full of points ?

Saw a programme recently where a dealer was given point, or the customer for having advertising on the windscreen.

Actually also like the fact that it is so "subtle" no flames, or tons of sponsor stickers etc.

[irmscher]

how much is insurance on the car ? and how did you get an mot

Bet it's worth every penny though, right? ;D

[mallspeed]

to insure it its only £135 a year and as for the mot if you have anything on the screen they will not pass a mot but you can have anything on the outside , i sit a long way back in the car so its not that bad to drive .

As I said before, we need more pics and details.
Is the MOT tester a very good friend or do you have to bung him a few quid to get it through?! C'mon, do tell us.
