On Sunday myself & a few mates found a 1600 escort. We drained out the water & bricked the accelerator.
The bastard went for 4.5 minutes at about 7000 rpm then shot no 4 out the LH side,smashed half the block out & caught the grass on fire under the car.
So there is 1 less 1600 escort on the road.
Bring on the Dattos

when you say "found"... what exactly does that mean?

Find something better to do with your time like reading a book or helping with charity work, thats so ####ing sad.

Mmmmmmm.........

the sad part is that there would be people out their who are interested in other types of cars that would mindlessly destroy a poor little datsun if they "FOUND" one

settle down mikali. they were just having a bit of fun with an escort, experimenting and i guess they alos found out some interesting facts on 1600 escort engines. dont be so quick to critize.

Thanks selfwedge. we had it given to us as a wrecked padock bomb the cluctch was buged so it didnt move. So we had some fun.
I would never blow up a datto.
I am building a 1200 coupe at the moment with a a14 running twin 40 mm webers & to much other stuff to mention. I would not have the disrespect to blow up any datto motor thats just not on. My motor should make about 140 HP fly wheel horse
When i said bring on the dattos
I didnt mean i will blow up dattos

I respect all the cars whatever make or model. Well thats just me

paddock bombs are fun, the one me and my cousin use is a corolla, dont get much use out of it in the paddock but we use it for khanacross and motorkhanas, and also for "Checking the mail"... he lives on a steep hill and the letterbox is at the bottom of a 150m gravel driveway with a 90deg turn at the bottom the hill is good for burnouts too as there is a 10m sealed bit halfway up, so far we have done 1 gearbox and two tyres , we also had a "parts corolla" that went so we decided lets make it not go, we did a number of things that i am not going to mention, then one day it just stopped, so we took the head off and there was not much left of no.3 piston, so now its our project enigine to fix up, best education i've ever had.

I hate Jaguars of all types even the appaulling F1 that Weber drove. I would do the same to a brand new Jag....except it would take about 15 secs to blow up!!!
Oh on top of that....here is a list
All Dae-woos
All Lada's
Holden Camiras and Holden Shuttles
All Magnas
EA and AU Fords
VN V6 commodores (rough as guts)
4 cyl Commodores (eg VB Commodore L and NZ VN 4cyl commodores)
Nissan 300ZX series 1
These are are just crap...

I cant think right now of any more but I feel much better already...group hug!!!

oh just have thought of some more of what I would put in the Hairdressers category... VW Bugs including the new one and VW Golfs and Polo's and Audi TT's and All Range Rovers and Porsche 924's and 928's, Ford Capris, Ford Probes Ford Taurus and that ridiculous Ford Couger YUK...

All the above are an abomination to God and all need to be bricked and blown.
I do feel sorry about that poor little escort though!!!

You know those feelings you get when you see particular cars on the road...(errrr....shudder)...
dont know how these things have ever passed ADR's.
