Do you think in 10-15 years time we'll all be posting Audi adverts on here?
Nah, it's not really my style, know what I mean............http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJa3d17Ktko
Ford were pretty lame at that point,
Mark V Escort was panned, even as someone who can see good in most cars I have driven a few and they were without much to recommend, I took a 1.3 bog spec one as a part ex and it shocked me how poor it was, anyone who hates the Rover 214 or thinks it was a bad car needed to drive one back to back with a 1.3 Escort, it was a marvel in comparison as was a MK2 Golf, anyone remember the Escort with the hillarious CVT gearbox ?
Sierra and Scorpio were ancient and well past their sell by date, even if both were half decent, the Escort was so bad, to make a half decent version they had to substitute a Sierra floorpan in.
The Fiesta was a rusty, rattly thing
They didnt have a Sports Coupe, Capri was long gone and a few years later they produced the Probe, the last time a sequel was that dissapointing it was the new Doctor Who after Tom Baker turned up and it was the bloke out of all creatures great and small dressed like a camp cricket umpire.

Enough of the old Ford love - here is an advert I remember from that era...

Ah, from a time when you could advertise the performance of a performance car!
Saying that, my favourite motoring advert from back then was for tyres. Inspired use of a BMW E31, and a bit of Lou Reed thrown in for good measure too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLWWtgqDG2M

Here's a nostalgia trip, in more ways than one:

'It'll do over 100mph' - there must have been carnage on the roads!
It was a simpler time back then.

CVH-powered
I amazes me how Ford managed to sell so many vehicles with such a crap engine.My Dad had 3 CVH engined Escorts and even as a youngster in the back I would be thinking why is the engine so noisy and course?
I remember my first journey in the back of a friends vauxhall and his dad wound the vauxhall lump round to about 5000rpm and I was shocked at the lack of assault on my ears. I didn't realise engines could be that smooth and quiet!
I'm guessing Ford didn't change it because folk kept blindly buying them?

Sorry but you'd fall foul of rule 20.3 here: http://www.cap.org.uk/Advertising-Codes/~/media/Fi...
20.3 Motoring advertisements must not demonstrate power, acceleration or handling
characteristics except in a clear context of safety. Reference to those characteristics must
not suggest excitement, aggression or competitiveness.
Plenty of demonstrating power and handling there.

Blame idiots like brake, the green party and the pathetic excuse for a motoring organisation, the AA.

God that's depressing.
Who decided on all this? Really? Which Orwellian tosspot decided that we'd better not see a fast car going quickly otherwise we'll all go out and crash. It must be the only policy I can think of that's based on a total lack of evidence, otherwise there would be huge motorway pileups every time the BTCC was on telly.
