i'm definitely not a ford fan, but i am a BDA fan. And who's not a fan of Colin McRae (R.I.P)...Always testing the boundaries, just what every spectator wants. Rally driving legend!
if anyone lives near kames just outside colin's hometown of lanark get youreself there on 28th of june 2009 colin's mk2 will be there on display and on track this is by far the best mk2 escort i have ever seen RIP COLIN WE ALL STILL MISS YOU.
Mmm think you will find that the last escort he built was quicker on tarmac than any of the wrc cars. So colin said. He also said that he hadnt got near the maximum performance the escort could give. Rear drive beats 4 wheel drive on dry tarmac. Thats why f1 cars use rear drive only. Simple laws of physics. Gravels different tho. Colins 2.5 millington was the bollox. He was an escort man through n through. Just like his dad. Rest in peace legend
iv'e had my pic taken beside this car sadley it was in 2008 when colin was no longer with us but it gave me chill's just standing next to it but i did get to meet his father and brother alistar that was a special moment for me 1 which i will never forget R.I.P COLIN we still miss you.
I was going to goodwood, and hoping to meet Colin. But the week before i went he tragically died, i still remember how disappointed i was. I miss you Colin, rest in peace
@lukeharvey2006 It was for the ford team, he was doing a rally stage and my dad and family were invited. it was a social event for Colin and the ford WRC team to meet the guys building the cars they were using. This is true, i wouldnt lie about losing a hero
Its not you, it was faster in everyones mind, and the beautiful sound of that N/A Cosworth 4cylinder was perfectly matched with the rear wheel drive, and point to shoot steering of the day...aww... the glory of yesteryear..lol
I once had a 2.2 pinto powered mk 2... it scared the shit out of me..180bhp at the flywheel...it cost me a furtune to run...8-( I then moved on to scoobys... R.I.P Colin.
Not even Colin... Every... Everyone who ever died for racing/rallying, or died as a racing champion shouldnt die other way than natural death... R.I.P to all who put heart to DRIVE!
Sorry but he did. The scumbag killed his passengers (2 children) and 'they' did not deserve to die plus his friend. He pushed to aircraft beyond it's limits. Read the AAIB report then comment...!!!
A talent sadly lost forever, nice to see a proper rally car driver by a quality driver. Left this world far to early but should have been born 10 years earlier, would have loved to see him in the Group B , only my own personal opinion but he would have been up there with and beaten the best. Damm shame the Subaru was not at it's best from 1997 untill 1999 and he went to Ford. Should have kept him when they introduced the new Focus in 2003, because Loeb would have never beaten him on WRC titles
@mrmozzoffull indeed, I just want to go back to my escort days.. life was so much simpler back then..
R.I.P COLIN
MK2 for ever!!!!!!

That escort is awesome : independant rear suspension, Naturally aspirated Millington Diamond engine
What more could you want ?
R.I.P Colin
Love the raw sound from that mk2
Rally is not the same without you ... Miss you man ! R.I.P
Great driving, true legend. R.I.P.

Rest In Peace Colin...
1 of the best (if not the better) rally drivers in history
R.I.P Colin :(
He made that car dance
No other car like the old MK2!!
where have they all gone?
McRae what a man!! will be badly missed!!

the sweet sound of an old twincam engine

R.I.P Colin!
The driver was awesome
@uwersayin What you on about Colin was at Goodwood in 2007 before he died.
Cool...thats racing...
Makes that Escort as agile as a mosquito

Imagine big Colin getaway driver in the 80s in tha beast 🤣
Blimey I've never seen an escort move so fast 😳😬
firtst moment I thought "wow nice graphic" Colin Mcrae Games ;)
He was born to drive those things...
Vatanen was equally impressive in, what I believe, is the greatest rally car in history.
well said
‘That’s how you drive an escort.’
wow i wish i had him as a driving instructor, R.I.P Colin
Colin...theman
McRae.... the legend
love these cars and it was driven proper
I once had a 2.2 pinto powered mk 2... it scared the shit out of me..180bhp at the flywheel...it cost me a furtune to run...8-(
I then moved on to scoobys...
R.I.P Colin.
THE GREATEST
I could watch Colin drive a dodgem car, rip to a true master of his art.
He could make car dance r.i.p Colin you were the best 👍
r.i.p.colin
mk2 best cars
also the fact they're a lot more skittish makes them look quick as hell
greatest sound ever
is it me or do escorts look as if they are going much faster than the newer 4wd wrc cars?
Its Colin Mcrae were talking about. he could make a golf cart look fast!
my favourite car of all time - but they aren't as fast as the 4wds, not even close - but sound and look better though!!
Colin you legend you will never be forgotten R.I.P
LEGEND..R.I.P
It looks like Vatanen.
Filmed on a 2mp webcam
a great driver that never gona be forgoten, RIP Colin.
im gona use that sweet engine note as a lulaby brmmmmmmmmm
yes you are spot on!,they do look faster than todays wrc cars,ford escort mk2s as they say,REAL RALLY CARS!!!.
rip collin .. hope you hawe it nice in the rally heaven :))
R.I.P COLIN
It's probably the aggressive looks and the sound.
this gives me Initial D vibes.
i wish group b was still around
Awesome driver! Awesome car! Legends in their own right.
my hero
LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@jimbob123412 its the sound it makes it look like faster
Not even Colin... Every... Everyone who ever died for racing/rallying, or died as a racing champion shouldnt die other way than natural death... R.I.P to all who put heart to DRIVE!
greatest driver of all time!!!
@jimbob123412 On the extremely tight and narrow tracks, the tiny little Escort could well be damn near as fast.
Word
awesome
he didn't deserve to die at all. R.I.P Colin, the man, the legend.... thanks for everything, colin. rest in peace, mate.
Sorry but he did. The scumbag killed his passengers (2 children) and 'they' did not deserve to die plus his friend. He pushed to aircraft beyond it's limits. Read the AAIB report then comment...!!!
pure legend!!! R.I.P Colin!
@mayak190518 shhhh thats supposed to be a secret. you know so that people dont realise rally isnt fun anymore
2022
N/A Cosworth?? This car has a 2.5l Millington engine.
@jimbob123412 they do.
idk, you should ask Caswell that :P
They Do :D
e' il migliore di sempre
Colin's a Pure Ledge! You won't see any Englishman on this earth drive like he ever drove, up yeeeeeez! R.I.P to a good man!
he was going only sideways
First time seeing him use brakes 😂
Gotta love Colin, spectacular to watch and was such a raw talent, was fast in any car in any circumstances.
Will be greatly missed, R.I.P.
How did he died?
i look more bothered going to sainsburys for fuck sakes
oh, my mistake
if i didnt get into driving my life would be crap!!
rest in peace colin truly missed
@jimbob123412
A well prepared and well driven Escort will compete easily with the lower class 4wd cars, and could well be faster.
Jeez, someone's late for work eh...!
@jimbob123412 Yes they do! B¬)

wow, sounds almost like a bike engine.
Id say they prob are jim bob there's no car nearly as good as the mk2 since it was made and prob never will be
much much much faster!!!
@jimbob123412 Even a golf cart would look faster if Colin McRae was driving.
