Had loads of people come and say hello but didnt know who anyone was but they knew the car from seeing it on this and other websites

We stopped in a hired Camper at a campsite on the grounds of Perth Race course Fri, Sat and Sunday nite
A superb weekend of Escorts rallying beer BBQ and driving like a loon OH and I shook hands with Ari Vatenan, Travis Pastrana, David Richards - You could say I was in MKII Escort heaven

No really there was way too much grip I could get the car to begin to swing, then the pendelum effect would take over and then that gets beaten by the grip of very rough surface and the 888's

Did manage to get a perfect do-nut that lasted for about 6 - 8 spins though and a Fast Ford photographer got the evidence.

Then got some of the cars spec details taken by a reporter who says he frequents this BB !
