Thanks Glen, yep used to have a nippy Saph Cos 4*4 with 475 bhp. Was tatty but had some nice bits on it. Breaking it has got me back around £8k ish, which is a lot more than it was worth hole when it was running.

Couple of piccies of it:

It's normal location







Dead gearbox at Castle Combe while taking an extremely fit girl for a run



Smoked a bit too , the oil breather kit return pipe had melted and so oil flowed onto the exhaust:



The reason I got an Evo - this one left me for dead while not smoking the place out



5 years of blood sweat and tears, plus a few ££s. Top fun and met some top people. Sadly 20 year old car, lunatic driver and track days on a budget took their toll

One last pic, my best ever lap of Combe in my Cossie - 1 complete lap following Martin in his version 2 Escort when he only ran around 550 bhp, not a huge amount in it



Was right up behind him till that point on the track when a valve decided to snap, drop down the bore of no 4 and chew up my 200 block, heavily modded head and Cosworth Racing piston



Hence this thread. I blame Martin!
