just such a shame most of the cortina's, grannies, and capri's are being used in either banger racing or stock car racing :w00t: no objection to stock cars because atleast there not getting crushed after, but banger, well dont get me started.

Now ya talking. Broadspeed capri, Escort RS2000 or Mexico, or an RS200 (The rare one)

Wasn't the Escort given the Mexico name after it won the Mexican rally once?

I love the limos and love coupes more, but i think thats just fugly to be honest, but still don't think it should've been raced as it wasn't that rotten, well, some minis have been worse, and restored.
