This is a shot I took from the Rally in Kamariza (Lavrion, Greece) in 2006. It is named Eros, cause the Ford Escort mkII is one of my most beloved cars: The ultimate weapon for terrorizing people and exciting drives!
This mkII is built and driven by Nikos Politis, who is a fabulous driver and an Ford Escort fanatic aswell as he has written many articles on Greek car magazines about the Escort and restoration processes. Talking with him in-situ revealed that he is a very friendly guy as well!
If there's one thing I really want to do in my life, that is to restore and race one of these mkIIs... someday...
beautiful - I love rally cars! The old 70's Lancia Stratos was a real eye grabber first time I saw it, too.
Just a thought, but if Greek is your native tongue - then man, I'm impressed. You switch to English flawlessly!
A lady I worked with once (from Romania) told me how someone complained about her accent (here in USA). She replied to them "just remember - someone with an accent speaks at least TWO languages." ha ha ha ha. They shut right up.
Oh man! The Stratos is such a beauty! Such an exquisite design way ahead of it's time! I love this one! Escort mkIIs are far more cheaper to prepare for racing and maintain though. And better to learn going sideways. A Stratos on inexperienced hands is a total life-taker, remember that they had Ferrari engines!
Although I've studied in the UK for 5 years, my English got really rusty during the last few years. I'm glad I can communicate with many good people around here though hahaha! Thanks!
-- I just love the roar of a V8 in the morning! and in the night too!
Yeah - the Stratos is expensive and loose! My brother used to race a hopped up Honda CRX on a closed street course - early '90's before Fast & Furious and all that.
I thought I detected british in there somewhere - well, I only speak one language, I'm always impressed when people speak several.
Yep - light, short and powerful for it's class. But not rally worthy like the Escort... BTW, I drive a Subaru Impreza (coupe) for a work car. Part of what I do is teach drivers how to handle the car in the winter (skid recovery, evasive skid AKA blocked lane maneuver, threshold emergency braking on ice, starting on steep hills in ice... where I live, there is a lot of snow and ice - the Subaru never lets me down, even though I have to drive up into the mountains in the winter.
