I just noticed in the TV guide that 7mates Motor Mate show is doing FASTEST FORDS today at 3pm. Bit late notice, but I'll chuck the telly on and have a look while 'working'
 
"FASTEST FORDS. Take a look at some of the quickest Fords around today as twenty of the UK's Classic Fords, such as the RS200 rally car and a Escort Cosworth go head-to- head at a test track."

Good find Pete! Making the most of an early knock off!

Thanks for the advance warning.
 
How was it?

was a good show.. lots of escorts and quite a few capris.
 
thanks for the heads up..

Yerr it was entertaining with the 'Supervan' 1 and 2, also near the end where a mk1 Escort Cossy pulled a massive powerslide onto the airfield runway heading up a top speed of 170mph as the driver points to the tacho thru the steering wheel(at 170) laughing.
 the dvd is called Fastest Fords, a century of speed (RS200 on cover).

replayed at 2am this morning also.

Damn!  Didn't log in in time to see this message, so missed it.  What a lame time to repeat it too.

I have done a tv scan and on ch73 Monday 3pm is the Classic Targa Adelaide. 3pm Tues has Rally Tour De Course, worth a watch as has the brilliant GroupB supercars. 3pm Wensdy has Lancia Delta 1987 San Remo Rally. Fridy 3pm is back at San Remo , then at 4.30 is a Targa Tas classic. Might not be much Escort rally action but worth watching or recording these shows..

they did a whole episode on escorts about a month ago, the history of them and how they came to be, lots of great rally action and some extremely cheesy british commerials for them

Remember what it was called?  I'd like to keep my eye out for it.
