[masoe100]

love the old days escorts everywere, not too many around anymore but ill savethem from the scrap yard, some people dont know what theyve got sitting in the back yard rusting away (long live the escort)

[dasoffendor]

you'll be laughing heartily as your Ford Escort spins out of control in a multicolored smoke cloud!

[pogly100]

I've got that DVD, should have left it running for another 30 seconds - I love the sound of that Esky when Jackie Stewart is driving it! ;o)

[Bassotronics]

Cars of the 80's were so tacky and ugly..

[shamrock608]

i like the way foed added the smoke to the cars in this advert , at least they were warning people about what was goin to happen to the cars after a short while .......

[jochen538]

Ford's neater 5 seater the answer is escort! Brilliant car brilliant ad. Developed under the code name brenda launched in 1975, basically a re-engineered mk1 in a tidy squared off body shell. the estate & van variants were only new from the A pillar forwards. I've owned plenty from vans, 1.6 sports & an rs2000 custom. i loved 'em all.

[trav10854]

that's the best ford ad i've ever seen. what's with the planes? lol i wish their new ones were like this!

[servicemanager]

guess that´s why they call them "the good old days"! ;-)

[BIIONIIC]

@trav10854 wow ... it smoked already when it was new :D ima gonna get me one with the hope that i can troll other drivers with ma smoke :D

[itsmefergal]

Had to be the 2nd biggest Ball of SHITE that FORD made next to the U.S Edsel. I served my time when these DUNG HEAPS went on sale. Talk about CRAP Manufacture..!!

[ToyotaStarletRWD]

a wonderful car:D

[servicemanager]

yes, it is :-)

[cornflakes002]

Fucking hell they smoke at the tail pipe even when there were new

[RopRopsson]

haha =) it whas the first thing on my minde too =)

[StefanKrstic2]

Does anybody know the lyrics of this song? I can get some of them, but the quality of audio is so bad...

[clyde0007]

I used to clean cars as a Saturday job as a kid and the owner of the garage owned an RS2000, what a lovely looking car I used to take an extra log time cleaning it.

I was also going scouts and I remember on the way to a camping trip we all hustled to get into one of the scout leader new Space wagon our other car was an Ford Escort with Capital down both lower sides of it.

Does anyone remember those Escorts or indeed the RS2000.

[CRF250RGUY]

Old skool fords are still alvie and going strong mate!! Escorts and especially any ford RS. Old skool fords have alot of following. And what mk rs2000 was that one your talking about?

[clyde0007]

It was the mk2 RS 2000 mid 80s model poss. even earlier I think, anyhow as you can appreciate those cars are super rare now.

I know that ford produced RS as rally Sport but what did the XR stand for in the XR2 XR3 XR4?

[CRF250RGUY]

Mk2 sweet!! :D Them cars are beautiful.

I didn know what what XR stood for, but I looked it up, apparently its Experimental Reserach.

[vauxhallnova1992]

I seen a escort RS2000 the other day

[mwiffen37]

First car was a 1300 escort mk ll, gave that too my g/f at the time and got a 1600 sport. Loved both those cars.

[cos140]

"Ford Escort" great...be singing that all day now, classic advert....cool

[sharomanet]

The car was decent, but this is the worst advert for a car I've ever seen.

[frankd1965]

car made from 1975 to 1980.

[54spiritedwill54]

proper cool

[smitmk3]

also this advert is sooo crap! it doesnt tell you how the car can handle so well....or how much fun it is... or ... i dont think they had any idea, i think they were stoned when they made this advert WTF

[smitmk3]

mk1 and defo mk2's are the don, but this advert??? are they trying to go bust or advertise planes? how chheeeeeeeesseeee?

[8535138]

love em such a lil beast

[tarkista]

the mk2 is he best lookking ford ever !!!!!!! i love it

[servicemanager]

Bottomline!

[fordlandau]

These were solid little cars.. I had an Aussie version from 1977..cost $4,500!!!.. 2 door with rally pack, firmer shocks, rear anti roll bar, Uniroyal steel radials on 13 inch slotted steel rims. jammed the 2 litre Cortina ohc motor in it and put on front bumperettes, front bib spoiler with Escort written backwards to terrify drivers looking in their rear view and Lucas driving lights, plus big black side stripes. ..so much fun!

[ozzinabout]

I loved/hated my 1976 escort van. I drove it around Australia in 1997, had to roll start it out of Melbourne. A mechanic in outback S.A fixed my car starting problem in exchange for a pack of smokes and a six pack of beers. I got pulled over by the cops in Darwin as they saw my VIC Rego plates and couldn't believe that I drove it that far. A year later by the time I got back to Melbourne it was belching as much smoke as the escorts in this commercial, though it was black smoke! R.I.P old friend!

[servicemanager]

Nice Story (= Thanks for sharin´, bro.

[DeathRowWarrenG]

hahahahahahaa to funny for this world

[19james89]

pitty they rust to Sh*t :( wish they didnt

[nlty2000]

I'm dazzled and hypnotised. I cannot help watching it over and over again. Oh my god I want to kill myself!!!

[kmlkml]

What is this song? It say "Ford Escort"

[josatinho]

[bobbyzox]

[servicemanager]

Funny You =)

[gronau22]

It's great to see such a nice movie about the grandpa of my Ford escort from 1995.

The answer is Escort :D haha

[sharmanater73]

Mk2 escort,wot a great car they were.Theres still loads on the road now!

[cossworth]

Very nice!!:)

[Futurebobbers]

This is the best thing I have ever seen on Youtube! Where is it from?

[djinstructor]

Fantastic. My Ford Escort wasn't very good in roll or when landing in Fog or low visibility. Still, with an impressive 800 feet per minute climb these versions must be the ones to own!

[DRIGBOI]

lol haha sweet

[SkopTeocratico]

Hahhahaahhahahahhaha the song!!! HAHAAHHAHAHAHA!!

Great Escort, Godness!

[billybottom86]

proper cool

[Lillford]

Looks like valve guide oil seals to me!

:-)

[howee100]

Amazing . All three Escorts must have started at the same time. What are the chances of that?

[hathome]

lot of smoke out the back of them should get it fixed

[colourfulnecklace]

this add spells sex

[servicemanager]

:-)

[DerAdventurer]

OmG! I was the same on watching this. lol!

[bamp91]

lol!!! escort mk2 my dream car!

[djjammas]

shut up if it wont fr ford you wont be driving. the escort was a classic will still be going for over another 100 hundred years vw engines are just throw in golfs are prams

[servicemanager]

:-)

[Jpbananas]

I only ever owned 1 ford and it too smoked like those Mk II's in this ad! Drive VW's now.

[esaq1]

1600 X-Flow Kent is ultra reliable engine.

I suggest you add some oil before drifting.. :D

[newforestroadwarrior]

Flying those aircraft must have nerve racking - they must be close to their stall speeds (look at the nose up attitude in the side shots)

[maxlima]

Ahhh.. the memories, the rust, the overheating... my 1.6Ghia went through 3 prop shafts, 2 front wings, 2 radiators and 2 exhaust pipes in just 3 short years. Yet I literally shed a tear when I had to let it go after 4 years.

[esaq1]

Wtf you did with your car?

Those are normally ultra reliable cars.

[Manongjojo]

I guess this was from Europe coz they never had those line of escorts in the US or Canada.

[bristololympian]

Yes these were european Escorts. The red one was a 1.6S (Sport), the white one was a 1.1L/Popular (minus it's wheel trims) the yellow was the 1.3L estate (station wagon) and the silver/grey one was the 1.3Ghia.

[01triggerthehorse]

The Sport looks like Vista Orange not red.

[compulsion60]

hur hur....

mk2 had alot of differences... differences you wouldent know until you smashed a mk1 and mk2 up :D

[servicemanager]

yes, your right. there are many details that changed in the mk2 - but when you look at the technique of both models from like one meter away - it looks the same :-)

[rexroyale]

I wouldn't know - that's just what I remember reading in a magazine once, but it wasn't a very serious article. Damn I can't get that tune out of my head

[dafspeed]

whats with all that smoke lol blown a head gasket?

[rexroyale]

Cool. I used to feel like that when I drove my mk4. Funny though how the mk2 was not really any more advanced than the mk1, still nice tho - especially that mexico/sport that did the handbrake turn
