  1. I had a mate in the mid-80s over here who had a fully imported Euro-spec RS2000 Escort. He'd made further mods, including a custom LED dashboard (he was an electronics geek), and had fat low-profile tyres before they were cool as well as competition suspension. He took me for a run one night and threw 180 handbrake turns at 100kmh, and drove it like a race ca around town for a while. It was an angry little beast of a 2-door. He went on a holiday and asked me to look after his pride and joy...and I did...until temptation got the better of me and I took it for a drive. Holy shitballs Batman! I flogged this thing. It was a magnet to the road and had no discernable body roll and was very quick. On the way home I took the t-junction corner at about 60kmh. It was slightly off-camber and I got a bit of understeer, hit the gutter, and destroyed one of his $250 rims. I got it home, changed out the spare, and left the busted rim in the boot. Of course, when he got home he inspected the car, saw that there were more miles on the odometer, and proceeded to go right over the car...and found the rim...yeah, he wasn't happy...
