Very cool car! Was as fast as any super car back in its day, ultimately modable as well.

 

That's a Sierra again . That's an old old episode where Jeremy Clarkson was an 'also ran.'

 

'89...when i graduated hs

 

Almost as old as me! I can't remember if the original host for Top Gear was Esther Ransom or Noel Edmonds though .

 

wow, thats a rare find. nice.

 

Seriously when you listen the the video with the red car, what does it sound like?

 

They used to race these against the V8 Ford Falcons,Holden Commodores and R32 GTRs at Bathurst in Australia... ****en mad brother, ****en mad. i love them. awesome !

they are cool cars for sure. this winter in maine I went to the "maines forest winter rally" and one of the guys had one he was racing. He hauled a$$. On the second pass he hit a rock and screwed up his whole front suspension and axle.. We talked to him in the pits. He was quite the bird. Heres a pic of it at the rally.

Great cars.





Heres a couple other you guys may find cool seens how Im postin the rally pix.

 

cool

 

That wing is over the top, borderline ridiculous.

 

Man, those old commercials bring back the memories... "Everything we do is driven by you!!"

I remember Top Gear reviewing one back in the day when top gear was like a consumer guide car show rather than the 'Playtime for Jeremy Clarkson' show. I think it was Jeremy who was reviewing it, said that it had the best value of any car because it had it's own built in picnic table.

I also seem to remember that the escort cossies were built on the longer wheelbase sierra platform and not on the escort platform at all.
