I know there are a lot of Bring a Trailer readers on GRM. Even if you haven't seen the tasty Escort that showed up today, you owe it to yourself to open one of the videos of said beast. The car sounds absolutely psychotic.

Thats a helluva long way for me to BAT. Especially since I don't OWN A T to bring and Uhaul would probably not appreciate me B their T to England. TASTY find though.

That is sweet. I like the sound, the color, the flares.

The grille reminds me a bit of an early Civic grille.

I think the Honda people copied the Ford designers in this case though.

Ahhhhh! Flashback . I learned to drive in one of those in '74. Same colour. I hated the thing after I lost a drag race with a Peugeot 404 :D

Evil ...sounds better than a twin-cam! And reinforces my desire for a hot X-flow powered Cortina.
