have gems come good for the diffs ?

did you see Nigel Worswicks car go (course car)
i bet you were getting excited watching that - did you see it at weeton ? awsome car, incredible power/performance sounded like a motorbike - definatly NOT your average low comp bullshit engine that

oh and - he drove like he'd just stolen it

had a look round it at weeton, only ever seen two escorts that clean, and the other is STILL sat in your garage !!

Although by all accounts mr finch was going well......

tim could have had second if it wasnt for a missed split, wasnt going to catch steve simpson tho in a month of sundays

he did well tho, good clean(ish) event again for him. - must have been the service crew

i'll have a ride up to yours after the lookout in a couple of weeks to see how the beasties looking now.

Next weekend is Anglesey Big G well Sunday at least.

Kev's car has been like that for ages... a pic I took of it from one of the Weeton events last year



Sticky, sorry I never got to catch back up with you on Saturday I was doing the results, which had me tied up all weekend. We had our own mini rally on trying to get the result sheets back from the stages to HQ before the competitors. Took the easy option for Sunday and just did the Pontins passage control 'out', mainly so I could then get out to do some watching

Nice drive Tim Another bag full of points for the championship, even though the car smells a little 'rural' now Mark and Kenny probably know what I mean too

I wish people would realise that Martin didn't invent that colour scheme. Ford (M-Sport) did when they had Repsol sponsorship

Really? Given that M Sport developed the WRC Escort from the Grp A jobbie. Surely it was them?
