Escort Cosworth Lakes tour???

[DaveEsccos]

would i be welcome in my old saff. or is it escort only.

You have to hide at the back just kidding, i like Saph's really! I dunno, i suppose all are welcome as long as they wear the historic badge

I would be up for that for sure, sounds like fun.

I hope so! I assume to put you down as a yes then?

haha a lakeside tour will get more interest

its them essex birds innit they love a big turbo cozzeh

OI!!!! Watch it sunshine!

Karl, most of them ain't got a clue what an Escos is but i'm i'm trying my best to educate as many of them as possible

Yeah but to be fair mate, 1 bird every ten years.... its gonna take a while Or are you trying t turn them gay? If this is the case, surely its one every ten minutes?

This is the one thing that this Forum lacks........ a decent annual tour

I did consider trying to sort one myself..... but decided it would be too much of a ball-ache

That's not to say it couldn't be done but i wouldn't fancy the prospect of dealing with peoples money if pre-booking accomodation etc.
The other question Dave is wether you would get enough numbers to make it workable with so many people who prefer to not really drive their cars

If it were to happen my preference would be for North Wales for many reasons not least that it offers the best compromise for people getting there from the south,the north and the midlands

It doesnt matter on numbers, obviously the more the merrier but its not really going to get much cheaper for more people.... and i dont mind paying for peeps on card as long as i get the dosh back.

fair play adam, keep poking away at them

He tries bless him

Sounds good to me but would depend on date.

Its variable, just an idea right now.

Thats the issue on here i think and the fact their £20-£40k cars cannot be left outside

With so many nice esccos'es left next to each other, who's going to be interested in your mk5 replica??? sorry! Just joshing cheif. If the Mk2 escort boys can do it with their "ahem" high level of car security, im sure we can do it with our remote alarms etc..... or failing that, take turns at standing watch? bagsy first shift lol

I have to say its a bit far me to go

I agree Jules would be quite a ball ache to do, and I would say though if it was done I would probably expect it would take a few years until it got a decent turn out, but if you guys want to do something like that I am more than happy to try and organise it for everyone with the help of others of course, the hardest thing will be trying to get a date everyone agrees on

We havnt set a venue or date yet. My experience of these things though (and sorry to be cut throat) is to set a date and venue and those that can make it great! If not, see what your missing in the mag and make the effort next year. If you try and spread yourself too thin by trying to please everyone, you will end up pleaseing no one by constant negotiation and in the end, no one will turn up because of bad vibes.

I like the sound of north wales more

Like you say its a soding long way to the lakes from weymouth

But yea i would do wales Sorry to say lakes are a bit far for me

As said, venue not set yet. At this time its just an idea.

My mate goes every year to the lakes tour in his MK2 and says its a fantastic weekend

So ive heard!

i'm up for any area.

gigity

i always get put off these things by where do you park a escos at night, i have never parked my car in a street over night and i doubt i ever will! i surpose i could hide it behind a sign like in back to the future!lol

Buy an alarm. Seriously, it not like central London, its out in the sticks were most yocals would be glad for a 5 speed gear box, let alone an Escort Cosworth

i would easily be up for something like this, would have to be late summer though i reckon

Date yet to be decided but would be somewhere around this time.

Would be up for this,maybe we could join forces with the old skool boys and do it the weekend of the cumbria rsoc show

cheeRS stu

Sounds like an idea!

[DaveEsccos]

If you got a date sorted I would tag along in the slipper nowhere is to far away lol

What the hell is a slipper?

[COZZFATHER]

What the hell is a slipper?

well i'd guess its them things essex birds put on there plates of meat.


heres a pic




please note its a essex bird and she only has one slipper

[DaveEsccos]

Still dont get it.... but im sure your insulting me.... (innit!) lmao

[COZZFATHER]

Still dont get it.... but im sure your insulting me.... (innit!) lmao

well i'm guessing here but i think our monkey hanging mate meant sleeper but typed slipper instead,now how can you be insulted by a slipper or a sleeper a slapper maybe but thats somthing completely different


anyway back on topic do you southern gits realise they speak welsh in deepest north wales ??? they even put it on the road signs to confuse you, araf means slow and fuck knows what stop is around dolgelleau they don't like the english see its all that sons of glyndwr and english out malarky. you gotta sleep with one eye open over the border in clywd lol

Arrrrggg you git, while i was reading your response... some ass came and killed me in world of warcraft! anyway never mind..... im not really offended, i take everything with the lightest of fun.

Anyway, no one has set wales as a venue. The original title said "lakes tour". Not that im shunning Wales, rallied there a few time and loved it! im really just testing the water and seemingly....have got a good response!

Any one got a choice of Magazine they would prefer in attendance? PF or FF?

[blacky]

What the hell is a slipper?

E39 alpina B10 it's a nice relaxing drive even at 150 lol

oOOOOOHHHHHHH so its a BMW........ philistine

[bullett]

like the sound of it but 2 main probs for me. 1.having the dogs makes a trip like this difficult(and no i wont put them in kennels) 2. the prospect of driving my car with my bad choice of tyres in a country that will more than likely rain alot(wales or the lakes are known for it) doesnt impress me much either lol

[spiritof'76]

that looks good, only downside is its Central Day that weekend.

I do like the idea of one, maybe it wouldn't be that hard to do, someone needs to plan the route though

The route being organised is absolutely key to the whole thing, if you just turn up and then it's a case of........... ok, shall we go left or right it would be a disaster and could end up going down roads that are not even suitable for low cars etc.
That's the beauty of the organised trips in that you get sent a file to load onto sat-nav so no time is lost looking at upside down maps and scratching your head etc they also supply everyone with high powered licensed walkie talkies to keep in touch.......... unlike the cheap ones we tried to use last year, with no real success they did work briefly on that convoy but only when our cars were so close together that i would have been better off shouting out the window at you lol

[bullett]

id rather shout than use a walkie talkie

[Brynmor]

It shouldn't be too hard to print a road book...and no sat nav doesn't really work in hilly Wales or parts of Cumbria...lol

yes that's it and I would be useless in doing a route, out of interest how long roughly do you spend in the car on one of these events?

Oi are you saying my walkie talkies are cheap lol, but do agree they were useless

[Simon T]

I'd be interested in a road trip if it was in Wales.

[Rolls]

Tour to LeMans - weekend watching the racing, then a tour back would be ace IMO!
