No, not that kind of Ford Escort, you silly American. For those of you steeped in rally car culture, you know that the rear-wheel drive European Ford Escort RS1600 is one of the greatest rally cars of all-time. And you also know that DC Shoes founder Ken Block is one of today's better-known rally drivers (anyone else jump a Subaru 171 feet?). So it seems only natural that Block would get a chance to put a vintage Escort through its paces. He picked up this Euro-spec '78 MKII to have fun with, and have fun he did.
