Well, ive always been very vocal about what my favourite ever modified car is, and thats Lee's 3 door, in fact I even gave that answer 3 years ago when my car was on the front of fast ford and they asked me for the article.

Lee took me out in at combe about a year or so ago, and I got a drive of it on the road after when we all went to Rentons house, but TBH driving it in a convoy of cars and traffic isnt really a good chance to enjoy it.
Tonight he let me take it out at the essex RSOC meet though, up the dual carriageway I puched it up through the first 4 gears till it popped off the limiter and then afterwards onwards to a trip down some country lanes, which of course has always been my favourite place for driving anyway being a somerset boy.

WOW!

What a car!

Absolutely fantastic, that new GT30 turbo has absolutely made it, it was always quick but now its just SO damned responsive, it really does go like a bastard in that sort of environment (easy to lose track of how quick things are on big wide racetracks or dual carraigeways etc), and it just feels like such a well put together package, handles great, the brakes pull up hard but totally straight, that really is the ultimate cosworth IMHO, I know most people would probably prefer Martins, but I wouldnt, thats still my favourite car, and I suspect it always will be, relatively simple spec but SO well executed.

Thanks again Lee, probably wasnt a big deal to you giving up ten minutes of your car like that, but certainly was to me.
