Birth of a Demon.

Tuesday, August 17th, 2004

I spent a *considerable* amount of time yesterday removing the Escort badge and all traces of the glue holding it. Then today I washed the car, stuck on the new badge (a rearranged Mondeo badge), then I had planned to T-Cut and wax the whole car but unfortunately, soon after sticking on the badge […]

Ford Fair
