Why do all you guys bag escorts?
They are way better.
Look at the Facts.

ESCORT RS 1600: Twin overhead cam 1600, cross flow head.

DATSUN 1200: Single cam pushrod motor, no cross flow head.

How can you say datsuns are better?

have you ever driven a 1200???? Have you ever had a drag race with one?? there is a little thing called power to weight ratio! in my experience and my opion you can get a 1200 going quicker for less money and they are way more reliable!Does any one else agree or disagree with me?Besides the one and only reason that every one bags them is very simple-FORD!!!!!!
that crappy blue oval
Found
On
Rubbish
Dump
that alone is worth a bagging or too
i'm interested to know how everybody(who owns a 1200)thinks about this subject! Surley i'm not the only one?
or am i?????

Hey datto1200,your not an oil field owning arab are you????? 'cause I had a escort as a company car many years ago and a few mates of mine have had them too,they all leaked worse than the exxon valdes the 2 litre one went ok but...just didn't always go

I can't believe you have bothered to post a thread with such a statement in it. I have three questions for you:

1. Why bother calling yourself "datto1200" if you're such an escort fan?

2. Why are you even posting on this forum - shouldn't you be with your other 1/2 dozen escort fans on your own website? ( I think from memory it is www.escortscopitupthedate.com

and 3. I noticed you have compared an RS 1600 to the datsun 1200. Realistically to get a fair comparison try the Ford alternative to a Datsun 1200 which should be the Mk1 1100cc.
Now show me the facts.

Just keep honking that horn on the indicator stalk and don't bother with making earth shattering statements again.

yeah I agree with Buff a stock 1100cc escort is gay. That is why it should be compared with a Datsun 1200. And steveo a ford escort RS1600 is only about 50KG heavier than a datsun 1200.

Has nobody learned not to reply to this guy's posts yet?

What happened to your 13 second escort

Hi 2332owner,

Yeah i know we shouldn't reply but i hadn't had a go at him yet this was my first time so can i please be excused?

I won't do it again....................

Just this once lol

I now know that i shouldn't have responded but i really HATE fords! please exsuse me but he had to be shot down in flames. Besides, like somone pointed out before this is a DATSUN 1200 website why would anyone bother posting somthing like that????? 50KG makes a difference in the long run! belive me! How does it feel to be GRILLED by a billion dato worshipers??? not so good,eh? JUST LIKE THE ALL BLACKS LAST NIGHT!!! GOD ITS GOOD TO BE AUSTRAILIAN!!!
I ALSO WON'T REPLY AGAIN I'M ETERNALLY SORRY, IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN!!!
