I'm impressed with the driver handling and the sturdiness of the suspension! It takes the corners perfect! No excessive roll! Good job to the builders!

My boss was a rally racer back on the late 70's and he rocked a MK1, he showed us pictures from these days. And some weeks ago he just bought one for the memories, he brought it to the office and DAMN that bad boi sounds like a beast. The car is an actual rally MK1 and had a lot of stickers, but my boss removed most of them and put his old pilot number, and I took home the ones he removed. My boss is so badass man, and he is almost 80yo lol

Probably finance by George Soros or one of those globalist PIGS 🐷. The projections given can’t be realistic. It’s also the arrogance of humans to think that they’re responsible for climate change when it’s been happening for millennia, could it possibly have something to do with that big yellow orb in the sky lol 😂

I do not think only the set-up of the car, I think it's a question of talent of the driver... really great skills. Generally, northern Europeans drivers are the better at it, because they're used to driving on ice, and have an instinctive talent like few others (I don't know where Gonon is, I think French or Swiss, not from northen Europe). Then, I agree with you: it must be said that, every time I saw on racing that model of Escort - and maybe the one just newer - it seemed, how it behaves, a car very "easy" to drive and well balanced, equal or second only to the Kadett C Coupe.

I wish they would all start making retro style cars, I would love this good old cars with a way more recent suspension and way better fuel efficiency engine in them. I really love the simple racing like interiors which nowadays cars look like made for pussies full of chrome plastics inside and shitty crazy extreme spaceship like style, I love those old simple MAN style cars with the nice simple interiors and I specially hate LCD speedometers gosh I hate my motorcycle LCD. There's always a good sensation in seeing an actual needle moving not god damn bars, digital numbers and shit like that... I would chose a modern Dodge Charger retro style looking exactly like the 1969 one but just lighter with better handling and a modern fuel efficiency motor in it and the interior instead of wood just black leather everywhere without much fancy crap, but I totally also love Ford MK1\MK2, 80's BMW's and many many other cars, I don't like much modern BMW's for example but loved the 80's ones, whish they made another BMW E30 M3 modern with that retro style just slightly modernized...
