one of the reasons i didnt book track time was because i always track with my brother but he has a civic so thought he would not get on. but the track was full of non fords. not that i care to be honest as im a car fan but gutted i didnt book on.

Combe is supposed to be quite harsh on tyres ?

There was a white MK2 Escort on the limit every time it went by

^^^ Saw you going round, nice car. The MK2's were mental, so quick and it's odd how small cars like that look now !

Good day though, there was one heavy down poor for about 10 minutes and all the concours chaps were rushing round getting the covers on. Some cracking cars up there, especially like the older motors like RS3100's and the Escort Twin cam that I looked at.

The guy is a mate of mine that's been coming down my garage for a social for at least 20 years, it's a well built car. I sorted the adaptor plate and flywheel and mapped it for him, he did everything else on his drive!

he was a nice knowledgable guy. he showed me the engine and it looked awesome in a metro bay. Although not a ford it was the car of the show for me.


heres my clips of the drift session from quarry. mk2 escorts were awesome.
