I used to love cars, even b4 i had left school i had bought my first car, £50 for a M plate Ford Escort Mk1, it was old, rusty and the engine was more or less screwed but your first car is like your first love, you never forget it, i spent many hours filling the holes and rubbing down the bodywork, getting her ready to be HAND painted, bottle green, ha ha, what a fucking mess it was, runs everywhere, but at 17 i thought it was the dogs bollocks, my parents wouldn't let me take it out but i used to sneak it out the garages and drive it up and down the street, i was promptly gassed on by a neibour and the car was taken of me, the bastards 
My love of Escorts (Fords that is) continued and when i started work i set about looking for the perfect Mk2, think i had about 3 Mk2s before i found the perfect one, had a 1600 engine, twin choke , 4 branch manifold, quick shift gear, Rs exhaust, and Rs2000 suspension, i had allways loved the Rs Mexico and the 2000, beautiful looking cars, i started converting the Mk2 into a Rs2000, took me about 1 year and all i had to do was change the nose of the car, a pretty big job as you have to replace the single headlight with the "am coming to get you" twin headlights, i had the car resprayed racing car red, i was going to get so much action in this car but i still didn't have my license, and yep, i went out in it and got caught......twice, banned, thinking back, all i can say is i was a fud, but thats what happened and my parents went mental, i ended up giving the car to my brother, i couldnt sell her to somebody who wouldn't take care of her, that Escort is still going till this day, my brother sold it to help buy a VW Golf convertible ??????
After i got banned i destroyed all my pictures and swore i'd never drive again, i did buy a few cars after that, most notably a fucking Vauxhall Viva, holy fuck, what a car that was, total death trap, some very funny story's from inside the pile of shit.........
