Go and check your numbers - you'll find you've spent more then 2 times what its worth.

How come chicks talk to you with a car like this? It doesn't work for me & I'll use a sympathy vote whenever I can.

"you break up with your girlfriend because she is taking time away from building your escort"

How about this: The Mrs (we have been together for 9 years) backs off when I am working on my Escort panel van.

She learen't very early on in our relationship that the Escort must take the priority. Simply because the Escort has been in my life since April 1986, however she has only been around since February 2001.

She got me grumbly early in our relationship when I was working on the Escort, and I informed her of this.

It has never since been challenged.

i just made the mistake of relying on the escort today. it let me down.
was fine yesterday, so i took my daily off the road for an engine changeover, get up for work today, wont start. starter just throws gear out, but wont turn over. no work today then!

Very true!

One for the younger guys with Escorts:
You know you drive an escort when you have to correct your non car minded friends when they say "Is that a Torana?" or "I thought it was a Torana"

or Gemini or Cortina -.-

Yep, had that 1. I pulled into a carpark as a couple of kids (about 10yrs old) on their chrome scooters stopped me and asked "Is your car a Torana....looks fantastic", I replied " Nup, its much better, its a mk2 Escort", They couldnt care less after that !!

Got pulled over by the Plod many yrs ago for a suspectly low car, when the oroficer asked the type of car i had, i asked him to guess since he knew what he pulled me in for..after his 5 attempt at names like Telstar, Laser, Meteor, Cortina etc. I told him in the end what it was and i avoided getting it defected as it was 1mm above the lowest limit !!

haha more times than i can remember, had cortina, Torana, gemini, datsun etc

its funny how so many people would ask me what it is, before looking at the "FORD" badge, even if its right in front of them!

Only people with good senses of humour drive Escorts. That's obvious from the comments.
