So if we don't hear from you again, we'll know you managed 60 mph?

I trust they're unused tracks and you can do that legally....

[Capt. Le Velle]

they are un-used  and if im off the forum for more than 2 months it could be that i went to fast.  and its legal

[TerryRussell]

Around here, someone would find a law dating back to 823 that specifically meant the death penalty for doing it...

You think I jest? Only this weekend, someone took a herd of sheep across Tower Bridge in London, because they were entitled to do so under a Saxon Law from 826 (or thereabouts). That's like doing it on the Golden Gate Bridge in the rush hour!

i think i found the one i will buy http://www.mustangclassifieds.com/mustang-3065.html tell me what you think

I've got no experience of American Fords, so I can't really help much.

 All of the ones we've been talking about would most likely be very different even if they have the same names here and in the USA. My wife (being American) commented on that when she moved here a few years ago. Same name, different car!

[Capt. Le Velle]

wow so what does the UK version of the ford escort look like this is the US one http://www.uniqueenterprisesonline.com/content/Ford%20Escort%20002.jpg

The early ones looked nothing like that. They had very rectangular edges. I can't tell the size from the image, but they used to be a lot smaller. Over the years they grew, bit by bit, and the engines got more and more powerful until they became a Cortina.

The first ones have 1100 cc engines. Later ones went up to 2,200 cc I think.

[Capt. Le Velle]

that ones a 2000 model

Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Escort_(Europe)) refreshed my memory, as I bought a white (interior red) Cortina 1500 4d. in 1965 (http://www.bebo.com/PhotoAlbumBig.jsp?PageNbr=1&MemberId=3595735705&PhotoAlbumId=0&PhotoId=8213358310), 2nd hand and replaced it with a new deep green Cortina 1600 GT (Mk2) end 1966, 96hp.
At that time in Belgium, there was not yet any Ford Escort, but indeed the little Anglia was very popular.
On the continent, the Cortina Mk2 was the last Ford model known as Cortina (but in the vicinity of Bielefeld or perhaps MönchenGladbach...). The following models were called Taunus.

Too much comentary!!!  I hurts my brain.

And to think this all started with a single gun shot.

[TerryRussell]

I hurts my brain.

Please don't hurt your brain. And especially not that way!     

(I know, it was a typo, but that missing "t" makes an immense amount of difference)

single gun shots can spark a post about cars
