After a fortnight off college I thought I'd make a move on my car get it painted and do the engine swap. Expected to come back to college with one bad ass motor... <br>
I wasn't alone thinking that! <br>
<br>
Come back and first see a bright orange saxo that was covered in filler before the holidays. <br>
<br>
Then I spot the boy who had what our group had credited him with "Neath colleges rustiest car" a crappy lookin red fiesta with huge holes in it! Comes back from the holidays in a brand new Fiesta!<br>
<br>
Well to be honest they don't bother me but I had the oldest most perculiar looking car there, with an engine some 600cc bigger than the average and most importantly RWD... <br>
<br>
Now theres two bloody Escort mk2s there!!! In much better nick than my Dolly <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Yeah but you were the first one weren't you with a 70's car?! So basically, regardless of whether theirs are in better nick, they copied you. Just keep mentioning that!

So are the Mk2 escorts 1300 poverty spec models? I doubt they are RSs. I even scared one of those off in my sprint once.
