Simon Lister and myself took the car to the "lakes tour" weekend at the heaves hotel near kenda which is specifically for rear wheel drive escortsl.The format is a similar format to a triples club rally with everybody arriving friday afternoon.A ride to the Macolm Wilson M sport factory for a tour and then back to the site for a piss up and awards ceremony.There were over 200 cars entered in the tour of which i would say a vast majority were mk2's.Anyway i luckily managed to pick this up.

On sunday the site is taken over by the RS owners club for a one day show and concours competition for all RS models including the latest focus RS etc...Sensing i was on a lucky winning streak i drove my car into the concours ring for judging.Let me say that these people take concours to a totally different level,its staggering :shock: :shock:
Mirrors under cars.Most transported by covered trailer.
Bearing in mind we had done 200 miles on the road run we gave it a little mint up as best we could and managed to snag this :D :D

A big thanks to Simon for being good company all weekend and helping to pick bits of grass off the carpet before judging :oops:

Thanks for that chaps.I have really enjoyed doing this car and it really is a lovely drive....so much so that i am now looking for an Escort track day project to renovate.Track days in winter during the week are pretty cheap and rain will make them more exciting with an Escort. :shock:
