Well later today a car dismantler will be coming to collect my old and abused Ford Escort R914NHG. I will be a little sad to see it go though clearly its time had come
- I purchased it from Jack at work a couple of years ago when it had 85000 on the clock and now it is going with just under 139000. This is actually a record I think for any car I have owned. Abuse - up and down to Hinckley, the daily commute from Stirling and worst of all Hinckley to Barwell recycling centre - too may journeys to enumerate there!. The money I shall get for this will offset the recent exhaust purchase (and finger pain!) and make it an excellent value motoring experience. Minus - oil shares likley to plunge as I should not need to buy so much due to worn valve stem oil seals. Thankyou my little blueish Ford Escort 1.6 S you have been a reliable and effective friend for the last 25ish months - Goodbye!
