I have footage of the green focus, a white sapphire damaged on 1 side, a magenta sapphire, a white fiesta, a black sierra and a red sierra.
The white sapphire seemed quite quick..

cheers jay,yes its a very clean shell.i had lots of fun when there wasnt any traffic.but spent most of my time off line ,letting faster cars past.
the object of the day way to see what it was like on track now,and give me something to measure the coming improvements against.
fooked up at lunch time,went to a local garage and put some texaco super in it,and it ran like shit in the afternoon.
filled up with v max on the way home and it came back to life again.

Royal Nail man! loved your motor great to see it on track and you carried some good speed. As jason will tell you I have a long ford heritage and have owned or driven everything from a mk1 mex to an rs200. Really enjoyed seeing all you ford guys having a good time

Lloyd....link me up buddy!!

Wheels locked up cos I was on my road tyres at the time & they were going off rapidly & losing grip - hence why I came back in not long after that!!

Got quite a few more, if yours is not here let me know what you were in and I will see if I snapped you!

Love the pic of royal nail and me, both of us on a bit of a mission. I remember looking at the back of the van as I closed in and could clearly see the rear diff which me appreciate the effort gone in to creating a very cool ford indeed
