Although I love the sound of all v8's the clevo does have a distinctive sound which to my ears makes it sound that just bit better. Thanks for the support buddy!😎👍
Yeah. I regret getting in it. 🤣 Now that I felt the car and the astonishing feeling it gives you, I want one but it's just a big dream. Thanks once again for the support brother!😎👍
@@HorsepowerAddiction Yeah I know what you mean lol. Once upon a time I could have bought one of these for around $15K but you're right, it's just a dream now. Always glad to support you brother!!
Another great vid Mr GT and huge thx to Sasha for letting us go for a ride in his stunning esp. It's a special day when you get to see a 40 year old factory spec performance car in beautiful restored condition, with a few taste full tweaks. I just hope that the car scene stays strong in the future with all the negativety going on with - fuel $$$ and government EV car policies that it doesn't kill it off, it's a worry !
They are going to have to do tonnes of work to get EV happening. There are very few electric filling stations. Alot don't work. You need an hour to fill up and that's if you get a pump. You may be waiting 3 hours somrtimes and when you go on a long trip there are not enough filling stations to get you to your destination. You can't say oh bugger this, I'll go to the next one. You have to plan and do alot of maths calculating kilometres distance, where to fill up, is their a place in between to fill up. It's not as straight forward as what we are used to. Alot of infrastructure is needed to get it realistic and trouble free. And countries way ahead of us still need alot of work and we are heaps more behind. As for fuel price, that's serious, however a muscle car gets driven probably once a week, if that, so it shouldn't be too bad unless it's a daily driver. Let's hope we don't have a problem. Thanks for the support buddy and I'm glad you enjoyed the content!👍
i always wanted a xe fairmont ghia e.s.p but never could afford one.still can't now unfortunately.great to see ford muscle alive and well.beautiful example.an absolute credit to the owner.
My first car back in the 80's was an XE Falcon with a 3-3 and 4speed. At that time, a friend of my father's owned a ZJ Fairlane with a factory 351, and I recall being shockingly jealous of him. I put some alloy rims off an XD Ghia onto it, and added some badges and a hood ornament to give it's appearance a lift. In a funny way, I enjoy the challenge of driving underpowered cars with manual transmissions, particularly in hilly areas. You're forced to be involved as a driver. After I sold it, I had an '85 Mitsubishi Colt for a couple of years, then a red TP Magna carby 2-6 with auto. I still believe auto transmission in fours are a mismatch, as they just lack torque and don't go.
One of my mates put the xp esp on the back of an xp falcon. All fabbed up perfectly and looks flush. Got a 393ci ford racing motor, xa gt diff cut down 4.11, things mental, currently off the road unfortunately
Mate judging on what Sacha said in the video I very much think there is no way he will sell, but never say never. Sweet ride you built buddy! It's a beauty! Thanks for the support!!
Should be good for any car fan really. All these cars no matter what make have had a lot of blood sweat and tears gone into them and need to be appreciated! Yes, you may have a favourite but you can't not appreciate a beautiful beast no matter the make. I'll feature any make on here. I just can't get enough owners to have their car featured. Too shy!🤣 Thanks for the support buddy!👍😎
@@HorsepowerAddiction my Dad had a silver over black XD ESP, 351C, top loader 4-spd, 9” rear, factory Recaro seats & on Bathurst Globe wheels, it was a freakin beast in its day. And as always mate, love your work!! Thanks once more
98% of people don't. That's why 98% of the cars on the road are just plain regular cars now trending towards plain looking regular SUV's. It's different tastes.
@@HorsepowerAddiction I've always been a Car guy...did a stint with club racing etc (cams lic) and as a Kid watching Bathurst favoured Brock in his VC Commodore...I even owned a Genuine A9X for 3 years...but I saw the writing on the wall when Fury in his Bluebird TRX Turbo did his famous qualifying lap...I was laughed at when i said to my best mates older brother that a 4cyl Turbo will Win Bathurst...Few years later the Sierra came along and it was game over for the big bangers...then of course came the all conquering R32 GTR. Even as a kid getting a lift from friends parents that had these old Fords and Holden's I never felt safe...they just felt to big and wollowy (yea...not really a word lol) If I could build a Nostalgia car today...it would be Fury's Bluebird TRX Turbo.
@@justaname1862 I love turbo 4's and turbo 6's. I love all performance cars. Rotaries and JDM included.

You lucky man! Can't beat the sound of a proper Aussie V8!
💯 cheers for the support buddy!👍😎
Thanks MR GT another great video those ESP what a car cant beat the sound of the clevo engines
Although I love the sound of all v8's the clevo does have a distinctive sound which to my ears makes it sound that just bit better. Thanks for the support buddy!😎👍
I love those XD/E ESP Falcons esp with the 351 4 speed. Very nice.
I absolutely love the ESP Fairmonts so thanks heaps for the video of Sacha's lovely beast George!!
