A very thorough spec, beautifully presented Escort and nicely understated too. I have used underground car parks for photo sessions (not those sorts, thats Madenglishmans thing ) and they always make the cars look a bit more 'clean' and almost higher resolution to me. Could have got your Missus to smile a bit though

i think the sheer cold had robbed any smiling left in the tank at that point and i cant say i blame her lol.
cheers for the comment.ive tried to steer clear of chav-tastic mistakes and styling,and gone for something understated but original.
cheers mate 8) ....p.s your dead right about carparks,the lighting is soooo sympathetic lol

Nice pics as always mate,

I can vouch for the finish and attention to detail on this car is gorgeous.

Nice to see it among true enthusiasts where she belongs

I can just see it rolling on a set of 16x8 Compomotive MOs.

Yeah MOs mate or those new CXT's.. have yopu seen them!!!

Im gutted i never saw them before i bought my speedlines


Here :

I like the wheels that are on it now.

In fact, I like this car. So what it hasnt the power that will rip your insides out when pressing on, but it looks subtle and with some tweaks to the power will suprise quite a few people.

Yeh very nice, very subtle, love two tone wheels.
