Escort Rock is a heritage-listed geological formation along the Escort Way at Eugowra in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia. After watching a debacle of a prizegiving where the yellow jersey was presented to the wrong rider at first, we made our way back to the hotel where I got straight to work gluing a new tyre onto Linda's wheel. First, the economy unraveled as overpriced "tech stocks" tanked, taking Wall Street and the economy down with them. The reason was CAFE, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy law that took effect with model-year '78 but had lately been relaxed somewhat. As mentioned, Taurus took over as America's most-popular car line in '92. I took a video of MY Escort 9500iX , detecting a KA radar threat (police officer) at a very long distance. Ford was more on target with a redesigned Escort that rang up more than 655,000 sales for model years 1997-98 and more than 100,000 each for '99 and 2000. The previous Mazda Protege-based design returned with a smooth new wrapper and a 110-bhp 2.0-liter single-cam Zetec four-cylinder, thus ousting the old CVH engine at last.
