Welcome, AFF is a great place to expand your knowledge toward you car and also that of the local (for us anyway) gear. I'm sure the Esky/ Sierra guys will value yours also.

God its an invasion..you guys commit a crime aswell?

As a avid reader of retroford and classicfords I too would love to see your cars/business. The more links we have ford escort stuff in the UK the better!

I have indeed and yes i have.

theres 4 xr6 turbo Ba utes.

a couple of Ba XR8 Boss utes and some dedicated gas Au 111 utes. Oh and a tickford XR8 Au forsale.

Ripped a Holden monaro VXR apart after my tune on way back from Hull. it was the 6.0 VXR.

All good fun.
