My apologies - looks like I posted a totally wrong link - amended it now. *highly embarrassed*

And no - European humour doesn't differ enough from US humour to have made the original link funny. It was indeed a link to a photoalbum of a carting event of a couple of friends...

The Ford Escort is the predecessor of the Ford Focus in Europe. The top version was the Escort Cosworth - a 2.0 liter turbo 4WD. This example has been tweaked 'a bit' by Reyland
