The Ascona is a wonderful car to have some fun with. That is why it is back in the garage and will only come out for some rally shows and slow sideways action. Meanwhile...

There is now one more Sierra RS Cosworth in the battle, with team Vale da Serra coming in for the challenge:
Unfortunately when trying out the car there were a few off-road moments, and we ran out of some spare parts... and since the photo-press day was happening the same day (thank you once again
@Ole Marius Myrvold for the render and the help with fixing the livery), all we could find to replace the front right quarter panel was a rusty part from a donor car that the local scrapyard had set aside for us

The not so Moonstone Blue Pearl coloured Ford could be well camouflaged in the snowy forests but the slushy mud thought otherwise:
And on the way back we got a photo from a pixelated tree enthusiast, who wasn't very happy that we ruined his shot when the light was just right:
See you all at service, and remember to strap a jack AND a shovel in the boot this time!
