Dont know if any one on here is into there old school fords but growing up around them i basically cant not like them. So after having a wee look on youtube i managed to find this video of a mk1 lotus twincam sound quality is pretty good and some nice driving to match .

Are there any starlet owners on here who happen to own an old escort? Currently im helping my dad restore his mk2 for the track and we have just rebuilt the 2.0 pinto were using and had all the seats re upholstered. Will try get some pics up if anyones interested. also have a mk1 lotus twincam that my dad has had longer than i have been alive. One day it will be mine! Although he seems to think he'l get burried in it

Holy crap thats lakeside raceway. I race there a fair bit here in Australia.

OT, here's the excort that dominates that track now. It packs a 550hp atw cosworth engine (extremely rare engine in Aus you lucky European bastards).
