1994 Ford Escort Cosworth

[MK1Scirocco16v at attbi.com (Dave Ewing)]

Great info Adam!!  I, myself, couldn't ever own a Ford unless it was a
truck.  Funny how time changes so many things.  All the things that they did
to that car to make it as fast as it was, we do to our cars via aftermarket
(and some fabbing) parts.  It will be interesting to see what our kids mess
around with!

As far as building them at the Karman factory, take a look at the flares!!
Look familiar?  Looks very German to me, right next to the M3, Ralleye Golf,
and the twin Scirocco.  Anyhoo, you knew that if it was good, the Germans
must of been behind it somehow!!
