I know how you feel, sold a very good mk2 escort a few years ago to a local lad, it lasted him 8months and he'd totally f*+#&ed it, never cleaned it (it was white) the interior was covered in mcdonalds crap, he blew the gearbox up and sold it on to someone who broke it up! I spent a lot of money getting it nice then got bored of it.......won'r make that mistake with my current escort. I also found out that my zs120 mk2 that was written off at xmas
is now prowling the street somewhere uninsured according to the mid database, another car fallen into wrong hands sadly
