Chiefgroover Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 We had a local funeral here today of a 28yr old chap who had hit a telegraph pole and travelled though the windscreen, his passenger who was wearing a seat belt was unmarked. He had said a few times if he was to pass away he would like a couple of mint MK2 escorts well sorted ones to do a short diffing display on a stop off between church and graveyard. He got his wish with an excellent display by two very expensive and well sorted MK2's (one i know cost £53K to build) doing a routine on the way there, when they closed the road for five mins. Nice he got his wish , he had spent his days rallying and working with MK2's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 To go through the windscreen as the driver takes some doing. I used to think I was clever not wearing a belt, then you realise that it's probably the only chance of survival you have, especially in an older car. RIP. H.
