I think my friend had a mk2 escort. Thunderbird Yellow, 1978 rings a bell, S reg if I remember right. Had a pinto engine, and was the one with the square headlights (this might have been the rs2000, but I dont know that much about them).
It was very quick, and had been stripped out of the all the unnecessary gubbins inside. Very nice car... although the exhaust was a tad on the loud side! :lol:

My first car was a mk 2 escort-just had the rubber backing for carpet :roll: , a switch on the dash to light the reversing light :roll: ,i had to buy a stick on heated rear screen element :roll: front lights that kept blowing every month or so (had to replace the whole sealed unit from scrappies)-no inertia seat belts -ahh those were the days!
I think the cars may have been easier to drive. I could and did all that slide-y stuff in my escort van (uprated engine smaller flywheel)) back in 80 something. I can't even begin to get the z4 to drift in the same way.
