dont get me wrong, I loved my Mk1 1300 GT escort, you could powerslide that thing like anything and I did far too often just for kicks... in fact teh only reason I sold teh car was I was young and realised I was driving like a twonk and would probably lose my license or have a big accident if I carried on. So I sold it and deliberately bought the slowest car I've ever owned ( and yet probably my favourite car I've ever owned closely followed by the escort) a Mk3 Zephyr. 1700cc putting out about 65bhp in a car that weighs 2 ton is never going to be quick, 70 mph was about it if I had a long road and a slight downhill slant. Bench seat, column change, big fins,lots of chrome, pumping stereo made it an ace car for clubbing in though plus you could legitimately carry 7 people( but that made it even slower!!!! )
