I am pretty sure it came up for sale at some stage and may not be with the above forum member any more.

Cheers

Cheers, I thought I had seen the car before - the US 2.3 pinto isn't  a common conversion.

I'm surprised they even recognised it as an Escort.  "Saving lives" by nabbing noisy cars - got to respect that.

Hmmm I wondered to myself what the ride height is on any of the current bred of supercars. I would hazard a guess that they may be below the "100mm" ride height standard yet this appears not be an issue. Whilst I don't condone  poorly or incorrectly modified cars which possibly could cause injury or death, I wonder if the time and resources could be used to address more serious issues in the community, such as drug dealing, rape, murder, child abuse, homelessness, mental health issues and other life changing events.  Hoping off my soapbox now. 
 
Rant over..................

Agreed, I also don't condone poorly modified ****boxes on the road etc......

Speeding is not a cause but a contributing factor in only 2% of all road fatalities in Australia, and half of those are police chases and other criminal activity. Instead of concentrating on the 98% of fatalities that happen at below speed limit, government keeps installing more speed cameras.why? Because they bring in sooooo much money.

Just like speed cameras getting 'unsafe modified vehicles' off the road has little to do with safety and lots to do with revenue raising.
