We will also meet sometimes in other locations in New Jersey. We are open for advice in locations. The only requirement in this group is that you have a valid drivers license and a street legal Ford escort of any year. The cars my be stock or modded any is acceptable. I am starting this group to bring escort owners together for car shows and to just hangout. All are welcome to join i will keep you posted on meeting dates and locations. This group is free to join and hangout and help us start car shows. The reason why im starting this car show is people talk bad about for escorts and being a owner my self they are not slow and good on gas i like them. They are good reliable inexpensive cars. This website is in construction. So we are open for locations and join join join. Escort owners join we will in the future be giving away car club stuff such as stickers and tee shirts the only catch is you attend most meetings and dont give the club a bad name. Message me at Juggelox@yahoo.com for more information. We also help other members to the best of our ability such as breakdowns, advice and ect. This is going to be more like a family than anything. We do not discreamenate agenst race color or anything all are welcome to join. All ford midsize and compact cars are welcome to join.
