MK II Escort Full On Rally Car

[Booty]

I wasn't going to post this but it made me laugh so much I just had to. Last Friday afternoon after finishing work I drove from Cannock to Market Drayton via Newport on the A41. Just after Newport the A41 goes through a wooded section near the turn off for Childs Ercall. This is a long straight of probably 1/2 a mile. I had nothing in front of me so had a clear view. Coming the opposite way was an Orange MK11 Escort with Forest Arches, 2 up 2 down Super Oscas and Plexiglass windows and fully livered up and covered in mud. Both driver / co-driver were in practice head sets and it looked like the car was on the 9'' x 13'' rims. It was, I would say, absolutely flat out because the approaching speed was awesome and it also had a BDA of some kind because it was absolutely screaming it's nads off. I flashed and waved and clapped like an idiot and i was rewarded with a blinding flash from the Cibies. I have never laughed so much for a long time and to say it made my day was an understatement. Bloody awesome.

I don't know why but when I read that last bit, I kind of imagined how you were laffing and getting excited as much as I was when we found a hole to peek through at school into the girls locker room in the 4th years at school!!!

I love that kind of thing, makes the road tax worth buying...

Remember being overtaken by a Diablo south of Petworth, We (the Ur quattro and the Diablo popped and banged though the town, then south of there, the Diablo had open road and let fly... There was no point in trying to make his life hard, the thing was followed by a Vortex of dust and grit from the active underbody aerodynamics... spine tingling stuff... Just love anything like that....

Thanks for sharing.

I had the same experiance a long time ago. It had snowed really heavily overnight ( a rarity in the South East) and I was edging my way to work up a very snowy A10.
There were about 3 cars on the inside lane and we were all doing no more than 30mph!, this sierra sapphire cosworrth passed us on the snow doing about 70 fishtailing all over the place!
The bloke behind me was doing his nut, me I was laughing all the way to work, it made my day

PS I do not condone driving like a nutter, if he had hit my car I would have had the arse!!
