Hello??

What about me, it isn't fair....

Nikki is the first member of the club to have 3 eurofords in the garage at home, a Mk1 Eskie and 2 MkII's, shared with Troy (the MaddestMan). Let's aim for 4 now everyone!!

Don't tempt me to buy myself another Ford Escort, it's tempting enough as it is, particularly when I see bargains that are immaculate... :newangel:

I've been buying tickets for every Focus I see. LOL!

Urgh why can I see it happening again, 7 cars in the driveway and garage. :rolleyes:

Yeah come on you guys, see if you can catch up with me.

/me throws down the gauntlet! :P

Ok, that makes two members that have 3 Euro Fords.

But who will the first to FOUR? :newangel:

Timmeh · 22-02-2005, 02:45 PM

Not me, I am going for the fastest Euro Ford though... once my RS2000 gets tubbed and on boost. But that is still an early work in progress.

Chris and I will put something together regarding the whole Escort deal, as most Escorts are aussie built, though the design and heritage make them an integral part of the euro ford culture.

Well I know my Mk I is defintely British built, all the plates in it are marked with built in Britain (Kent). I'll have to go and have a good look at the MkII's.

Perana · 22-02-2005, 05:45 PM

Just about all MkI's (Even TwinCams were although they were a CKD kit, the only imported MkI's as far as i know were some VERY early ones and of course the RS2000's) and all MkII's except the few (25 odd) Saarlouis (German) built RS2000's were built/assembled at Homebush in Sydney. I do know of a few MkI's and MkII's that have been privately imported though too. So if yours is British built its a pretty rare one in Australia!

I can't wait to see how you go with your RS2000, keep us posted on the progress there mate, ok?

Yes, most of the Escorts were assembled here from CKD kit, but seeing as most of the parts were made in Europe, it could be argued that they were made in Europe, rather then made in Australia.

Either way, if you say they're made here in Australia, or made in Europe, they're fantastic examples of Fords, and something different to Falcons.

RSgerry · 22-02-2005, 11:45 PM

what do you have to do to become a member? i have the RS2000, the Sierra XR4i, two Anglia Estates and an Anglia sedan (in trut, one Estate is going to be built from all the bits, but i do own them).

Timmeh · 22-02-2005, 11:48 PM

Added our second Focus to the website:

Timmeh2

Timmeh2, a Capri Blue LX Focus.

-----------------------------------------------------

Ok, well, I know Chris and myself have discussed the Escort issue before, so how does the rest of the club feel about the Escorts?

They are the heritage of the club, along with other European classics like the Capri, and some certainly were made and assembled in Europe, while some were made in Europe but assembled here. I want to hear more opinions, especially from guys who have been in the club for a long time.

You don't have to do alot, very soon we'll have a registration page on the club website itself!

At the moment, you can PM me or fordel, or send an email to tim@eurofordclub.com or chris@eurofordclub.com, including these details:
FFName:
First Name:
Location:
Car: including trim level
Current Mods: If any
Future Plans: If any

And some photos! It's always good to see new cars! :monkes:

And that's about where things are at the moment. It's not like it costs anything to join, we are organising bigger and better things for 2005, and will continue to grow from here.

Tim

zetec · 23-02-2005, 12:40 AM

Tim - how about Timmeh3, the mother of them all?

Timmeh · 25-02-2005, 06:17 PM

Perhaps! It will be undergoing some major changes, but we'll see what happens.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Two new cars added:

Miss_MkI

Otherwise known as LuvinmyEB, this beautiful 2 door 1972 Mk I Escort lives in Melbourne.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

TimmehRS2000

This car is my four door 1979 RS2000, about to undergo some major modifications and rebuilds during the year, but has already been seen at some car cruises in Newcastle.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I'll have to make some changes to the layout of the members pages, adding the Escorts made it evident that the style may need to change, as the cars are becoming less standard units with a few mods. So that will happen soon, with the other changes.

If anyone else has any other membership issues or updates, this is the place to bring them up!

Regards, Tim

fordel · 25-02-2005, 08:24 PM

Certainly is, please let us know so even i can make changes when needed

Hey guys,

Is there a prize for most euro fords owned? Cos i reckon i would be in with a chance at the moment.

I currently own
Focus ST170 (Dialy driver)
Escort MK1 1300 75 (Gold)
Escort Twin Cam 70 (Tru Blu)
Escort Mexico Replica 73 (White)
Escort Sports Sedan 70 (Ford Blue)
Escort RS2000 MK1 75 (Vista orange)
Escort Mk2 76 Ghia Automatic (Met. Blue)

Imagine the storage problems this lot creates. Hopefully one day they will be all stored under one roof. :(

PS. 4 of the above cars were at SFS2005.

Cheers, GT

Teki04 · 02-04-2005, 05:59 PM

DAMN! I think you would win the prize actually... and, these ST170s seem to be growing on this website. Im so in love with them at the moment....

Teki04 · 02-04-2005, 05:59 PM

Oh, and any Photos GT?

02-04-2005, 06:06 PM

Yeah, and St170's seem to be every where on the road at the moment, though i was looking at the Fiesta St at Ford Broadmedows on Good Friday an if they do release it i could be pursueded to trade up or is that down? Very nice bit of kit.

I have lots of pics, but need to resize them - whats a good size for this forum?
And does it matter if the rego is not fuzzed out - can't be bothered doing that.

Cheers, GT
