1998 Ford Escort GTi review from Germany
General comments?
I have just bought an escort GTi of a mate of mine in germany, we both serve with the army. Im really impressed with its performance, not only that but i drive to the UK often via Calais to dover and back and i only need to fill it once. its a great little car, gives me power when i need it and ecommy when i take it easy. it handles great too! i did have a sierra 2.0li and the GTi is faster and better all round. im not a boy racer, (wot ever that is) I only paid a grand for it and its a great little car. if anyone as any ideas on upgreading the performance then give me a shout on martinleatherbarrow@hotmail.com im alway on messanger look us up plz
