1999 Ford Escort Flight review from UK and Ireland
"A BEAST oF a PaPpAp!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I Crashed the car about a week after I bought it. About a week ago (10/3/2003) I decided I was gonna go and buy a new bumper primed and ready to fit. So I did...THEN...it took me from 2:20pm until 3:00pm to to take the other bumper off. (the nuts where right infront of the radiator. This really p*ssed me off. But that's the only moan I have... and also a bit of advice DON'T SMASH YA BUMPER!!
General comments?
The car is a brilliant motor. It does everything I want/need it to do. It feels more eligant compared to the 309 1.4 S on a J reg... and it can be tweaked easily to make the turbo run faster so more speed!!
