One reason I enjoy driving my 1972 Escort is that it has nothing unnecessary to get in the way of the experience. And yet the simple crude heater will scorch your extremities in half the time something modern would take! |
Yeah, I got heavily criticized for saying that my Escort was the best road car I had ever owned. I did not mean the fastest, quietest, most comfortable, most expensive or most complicated road car I ever owned. It just did what it was supposed to, and what it wasn't supposed to reliably, comfortably, economically and ... the modifications provided a lot of fun!
Clutch 45 mins, out back in and running, on my own!
Try that in any modern car!
Nothing difficult to work on!
