Default For the Eski lovers

That's one beautiful Eski... cannot wait till the day one of my Eskis (there are more in the planning) hits the track....

Thanks Todd

Tim!

Very nice indeed.

Did you just get still pics, or did you get video as well, and if you got video, does it include sound? I'd love to see it in action, and would be all the more happy to be able to hear it at the same time...

yeah just got stills (digital slr doesnt lend itself to doing mpegs), sorry...

it sounded awesome at the track, and I did think how I should have taken my Kodak Dx which can do movies to the track.

Oh well, doesn't matter, looks like you got some great pictures!

I bet it sounded awesome, that is one of the things that really draws me like a moth to a light about the Escorts, the sound of one on full throttle!

it was a great little escort, very tidy, hardly a dent on it (and yes the 2MB pics look fantastic, its a shame I have limited space to post pics here on the forums).

The driver of the eski was giving it to the Alpha in the first pic for about 5 laps until he finally got around him and once around they kept duelling.....I bet if Tim was there he would have been daydreaming about having his eski running out there with it

Awesome stuff, happy au. Haven't heard of many Eski owners who don't love their cars to bits.

The car the thread is about was at the Peter Warren All Ford Day with the Small Ford Club, I believe?
