[QUOTE="pgh13, post: 923234, member: 191774"] I think through the sixties and seventies Ford had a great appeal for enthusiasts.... The Escort Mk1 and Mk2 (and the Anglebox before that) were successful rally cars as were early Cortinas, but it seemed to start to fade after that. OK, so there were the XR3 and XR4 but they were (I'm not sure if this sounds fuddy duddy) ostentatiously styled by the factory and 'getting the ECU chipped' doesn't have the same oily fingered enthusiast's appeal as the 'any engine fits any Ford' mantra of bygone days. Still, kids today, eh? I know a 21 year old - fancies a Honda Civic! [/QUOTE]
