ESCORTED AWAY
PETER Bobecki debuted his Ls1-powered MKII Escort at Street Machine Summernats 31, and we were so enamoured with the crazy little burnout beastie that we did a little write-up on it for our website. Little did we know the furore it would create on Facebook!
JamesBorrie– What ... has ... he ... done ... to it? My dad has one of these and if he saw this he’d be as angry as I am! Amazing finish and great craftsmanship but he has completely ruined it, that’s for sure. I don’t care what anyone says, it’s one of the most dreadful things I have ever seen in Street Machine. And it isn’t even a Ford engine! Arrrrrrgh!
Si Cleveland – Ford plus Chev = no thanks. Keep to one or none.
Phan Tom – Tail-lights look like crap, and an LS in it, why have an Escort? Buy a bloody Torana and put the LS in that. Put a Windsor in a small Ford for Christ’s sake.
Brent Higgins – “I’ll supply the car, you supply the crack, let’s smoke a few bowls and do this!” Vlad Ilic – What a disgrace of a bloke.
Mike Allfrey – You can almost taste the butt-hurt in here.
Wayne Edgar – While I appreciate the hours of work that have gone into this transplant, I am at a loss as to why you’d put a heavy LS1 into a car like this. Surely a Barra turbo would have been more suitable as it’s lighter and
would easily outperform this overrated engine. Carl Fando – LS is way lighter and would be an easier fit. Still boring though, haha. Gary Mcsweeney – How dare this man build his car how he wants to! It’s an outrage !!!! Brett Atkinson – Hand up who had their car at the ’Nats and are bagging this? Sounded tuff with the laps I saw it do.
Anthony Raveen Chand – Yet another transgender car. Why, why, why make a point of doing something wrong when it was just as easy to do it right? The only thing missing is a NSW Blues jersey on you and a pair of Queensland Maroons shorts to go with it. Maybe a coffee with no cigarette, barbecue with no beer, pizza with no coke.
Jaqui Harkness – You forgot about mentioning one thing: sand up in your vagina, making you cry about someone else’s choices. Would you like to tell him what colour undies he has to wear tomorrow to go with your bitch session? Go wash your fork out and shove your opinions right back up your arse where they belong. Get this, the most important part: It’s not your car, he doesn’t give a toss.
Rock Caleb – Tail-lights and LS1 haters aside, I’d love to fry tyres in that thing.
Chris Stork – I know of two other Escorts being built, both with Holden V8 power. I’m sure the wankers will have lots more to say when they’re both finished. LOL.
