Today I have mostly been thinking about this...
One of my favourite cars I got to drive on MC, racked up about 800 miles in it, about 10 times the normal amount of miles you get to play with an owners’ car, over a week. LHD and an enormous chin spoiler makes it a challenge in the UK, but I loved it. Many memorable moments, not all of them publishable publicly, but I remember my first inkling of the real performance potential. Changing down in fifth to fourth at 70mph I was a bit disappointed by the in gear thrust. Then I noticed that it hadn’t really come on cam yet, let alone spooled up the turbos.
Those turbos are Garret T25s, of which the Escort Cosworth has just one...
A car for which the British road network is just too small...
