RS Motorsport :: Classic Speed Restored

G`day all

stoaked to have found this site. long time lover of escorts

names Mark, im a mechanic from busselton WA

had a long history with escorts. had a mk1 2 door when i was 14 (the red one in my pic), had it and loved it until i was 20 when someone ran up my backside and wrote it off!! since had a few mk2`s and a neat mk2 rs2000.

since then ive grown up a little and keen to find another mk1 and start over. Love the cars to death and im dying to have another one!!

now have a pathfinder, outlander and a 67 mustang.. but no esky`s

cheers all

Welcome Mark,
We might have more members in WA than SEQ if this keeps up!!

Might also need to start a seperate chapter of RSM for people called "Mark"

Welcome Mark, glad you can join us!

Yes it seems like once you've had an Esky, you always seem to keep coming back to them. Had mine 23yrs and still counting.
