"Scene Tax"

Just realised what I wrote didn't make much sense :p There's one rebuilt Escort that gets trailered about everywhere, it's a MK1 Escort not a Ferrari 250 GTO.

More likely because they're now owned by fat balding middle aged blokes who throw money at them trying to build the 'Scort' they couldn't afford and didn't have the talent to do when they were younger. Then never drive them the way they should. They'll do a quick burnout for the Classic Ford article while pulling that WTF? face that was invented by Loaded or Max Power magazine, claim they've done the 'South London Look' and then put it back in the garage for another 6 months.

ford meets are plain odd. at a golf meet (the ones i used to go to) the cars turned up in the state they were in when they took you to work in the morning. that was the same state theyd have been in when you took them out and thrashed the life out of them, every weekend, for the last two years.

the cars were purely functional and the focus was making them quicker

turn up to a ford meet and theyll be whining about the part number on three of their wheels not matching the forth wheel or the car not having dealer issued plates or one arch liner being a different colour to the rest and moaning that this year they put 25 miles on it and its not even due an MOT for 3-4 months yet
 
You get that sort of behaviour at proper owners club national shows and only in the concourse section, generally no one gives a hoot.

Lightly tugs at beard. RS1600s were only on the Mk1-3 models and never had arch liners. No anorak content here, I grew up with those cars and they just didn't.

This would be the Mk3 RS1600, the once that's similar to the XR3i in most respects rather than the very desirable BDA engined Mk1.
