Following the demise of my previous car - to which I reckon I owe my life....

it was suggested in another thread by Mr S Driver, that maybe a Mk I Escort Mexico would be a good choice for my next vehicle.[:D]

What do you lot reckon?  Budget unlimited, btw (not mine, you understand, but just for fun).

Crikey!

That is some damage, you are so lucky but I reckon you have well earned the good fortune, what goes around comes around etc..

I wish you well once again with your recovery.

Does the above damage come into the category that you girls use of "darling I have put a little scratch on the car!" [:D]

That is a mess, shows the deformable/crush areas of modern cars work.

As regards the Escort, I would in a heartbeat! But maybe an RS1600 (maybe too much money) or an RS2000 (MKI) , but the Mexico was a little gutless. Lotus Cortina would be good as well. Strikes me, anyhting rear wheel drive with a modicum of power would be fun!

Yummy, S/D.  MkI Lotus Cortina also sounds like a plan....[:D]

Funny though how safety never entered into my choice of car but I do remember pointing out to the o/h (after I had bought my first Micra - also new shape) how well it did in crash tests.  I never thought I'd be so grateful for it though. How much small cars have advanced over the years in this regard.

Boy that is Ugly, is it a Hummer?

If so , my boss has one, I would love to see her get around the little villages she has to in the course of her day .........and park it!

Hi Debs

 

Just back form the US, and June found just the thing for you……

But, having spent three weeks with this, you could do a lot worse!
