I'm knocking on sixty years old and I grew up with most of these Fords. It gives me great joy that you guys are preserving and showing these fantastic cars.
I know a chap looking to sell his White Granada estate 2.8i cologne v6 up in Manchester. Just been put back on the road. Think it's 1984. Must be fairly rare these days?
So many cars, so little time. Loved it. If you’re liking an MR2, you should check out Sarah-N-Tuned. She’s got a whole series on her MR2 she calls Mr. Dos. And, she’s currently in the middle of stuffing a v8 into a Celica. Cheers
Great video as always mate. Kat is fearless!!! What a woman!! Remember I have been in a car with you!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 looked like a great meet and great to see Esther back in action!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@marcushayesford now that is something I would love!!!! Name a time and place and I will be there!!!!!!! Great to see you both out. When you going to let Kat have a drive?? Legend!👍🏻
Love the look of this event and would love to attend in my escort, so I looked into it. 6 Hours 20min drive for me 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I’m just down the road from Southend, I remember going to Cruise night in my Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts back in 1986/87. Have you thought about fitting a half-cage to Esther? I reckon it would look good 👌🏻
I agree that a cage would look awesome, and potentially improve the handling by stiffening the shell BUT ‘Esther’ is a road car and I want to keep the weight down. She may get some more weight reduction and a cage in the future tho. 👍
My first engine made 175 hp @ the flywheel, my current one made 185 before I fitted the ported head, 189 after fitting the ported head. I have closed up the valve clearances since (they were far too wide) but haven’t been back on the rollers yet. 👍
Gotta admit, I don't see the attraction of excessive camber on the wheels.....to me it's just a way of wearing out a perfectly good tyre on one side and buying another expensive tyre to replace it🤔
@@marcushayesford Hey each to their own Marcus. I do love the round bubble arches, just not the 1980's wedgey x pack ones. And it's not like I don't love a wedge, one of my favourite cars of all, is a Bong Bug 🤣 I just think Bubble arches (especially on a Mk1 escort, but even on a Mk2), are a much more pleasing shape.
Why do you cover your face with a smiley when breaking the speed limit and going sideways at roundabouts… is it so you don’t get caught if the feds watch your video? Agreed most ppl break the speed limit etc but why would you film yourself when you’re doing it then post it online for all to see…I was lead to believe if the police don’t know who the driver was at the time of an offence it’s the registered keeper who gets the charges/points/fines which would be you anyway !? ps: mint rs2000 x pack ❤
So a 4.44 diff, 190bhp ish engine and Mazda 6 speed only does 70 mph? (not that bhp matters too much I guess) 😂 Marcus it’s clear in the videos you make your not doing the speed limit bud. Like I said, most ppl do speed but they don’t film themselves doing it and put it online. And as for “it’s all in the editing” good luck with that defence 😂. How do you edit going sideways on and off a roundabout? Be careful how you go bud… drifting etc on public roads can fall under careless and dangerous driving, driving without due care and attention etc… Again, people do have fun with their cars but filming yourself doing it for the sake of views isn’t the most sensible way to go about things.. Take care 😊

You know it's SOS when the word cozzy is used every 5-10 seconds, nice cars, good to see positive vibes down the front.

Love that X pack RS2000!
It looked so cool! 👍
Keep it up lad 👍👍👍👍👍

i believe its a law that if you have a nice exhaust and you are going through a tunnel you must drop a couple of gears and drop the hammer 😂😂😂😂
There’s another meet down in Southend on May 27th 👀 Old vs New Skool Part 2 Bank Holiday Shutdown 😁
@M H my auntie has a Mk2 Mr2 targa top roof and a Truimph TR7 amongst my uncles cars !
Nice! 👍
@@marcushayesford yeah but I'm glad u stuck with " Esther " !!!!
They done a series of focus called t190 that came zetec turbo
Away to pick up a st170 engine for my mk1. What sort of power are you getting with the itb's?
My first engine made 175 hp @ the flywheel, my current one made 185 before I fitted the ported head, 189 after fitting the ported head. I have closed up the valve clearances since (they were far too wide) but haven’t been back on the rollers yet. 👍
More Door mk 2's & RS2000 ...with COSWORTH engine's # PROPER
What FD is Marcus running these days, still the 3.54?
Did you get a £100 fine, saw on facebook loads of people got done
Of course not. Because I didn't park on the pavement. 👍
Gotta admit, I don't see the attraction of excessive camber on the wheels.....to me it's just a way of wearing out a perfectly good tyre on one side and buying another expensive tyre to replace it🤔
Everyone has their own style I suppose. I personally like a bit of camber on the front wheels so that I have more grip on full lock. 👍
@@marcushayesford oh yes, agreed, that's a handling matter........the aesthetics don't grab me so much. Enjoyed the video, cheers.
My god a plastic x pack hated them back in the day but I must be honest they still look awful lol hope it wasn’t a genuine r/s 2000
I agree.
I much prefer flat front Mk2's anyway, never liked the nosecone, but the x pack bodykits looked awful to my eyes.
Each to their own. I personally like the look of the x-pack kit. 👍
@@marcushayesford Hey each to their own Marcus.

@@marcushayesford😂😂😂 Esther has a 4.44:1 Anglia van diff & only does 70mph... innit Marcus 😉 Cheers. Leigh.
@@theoriginalwallace 69 mph mate! 😀 Although I’m not silly enough to go that fast in a car built by an idiot! 😜
