    I am mega busy at work and a 70 hour week is the current norm. So any spare time at the moment is spent with the family. I am off home in 10 minutes though after being here since 6am
    Exactly the same here. The very little time I have when not working is spent with the mrs and kids always. In the summer months the eldest will come out for a drive with me to a park. A massive de tour to a park though bless her

        Hi tommi, you could try to install one of these phone applications which are build to resize pictures and after that upload them here.

            I think all forums are like that of late, social media has wrecked it but I think theres enough good members here to see it through the quite times. A very friendly informative site and most of us would be lost without it imo

                    In 2011-2013 i was following at the same time almost 4 forum, then i think around 2014 everything somehow dropped, at least i saw on italian, english and other forums.
                    From then, I just decided to keep one only, and at the end this one to me is so far the best.

                    what i like from forum other than good info, you feel more at home, or at least you are more free to ask knowing that there is someone to discuss with in a constructive way

                      I guess everyone’s busy on Facebook given each other abuse and generally being sarky rather than helping?

                            Maybe it's a case that lots of these cars have been bought by investors and they really don't have any interest in them only concerned with watching their money grow .

                              And enthusiats become investors too.
                              Too many people are concerned about miles, risk in traffic etc and noone uses them as they are scared of depreciation.
                              Everyone to their own but it is same thing like having Sofia Vergara in your bed but with no action, i mean what is the point?

                                I know of a couple of people in my area who have their escorts under cover waiting for the moment to sell.

                                very much a shame as these cars were built to be appreciated and used... being afraid of miles and scratches and other people etc is a great shame for the owner, the car and everyone who loves to see one thunder past with it's ridiculous styling and ever dominant presence.

                                I am new to EsCos ownership but a veteran fan and certified addict. I do hope when my car is built that I can look forward to getting it out to play with some other like minded owners and not be on my own whilst others sit looking out of the window worrying about if it might rain....
