The ultimate Q-car: remember this?
Was at Ford Fair in 2004. Spoke to the owner and he wanted to finish off a few bits before getting it featured, then lost touch. Anyone know if it's still around?

. You can just imagine trying to keep up with it and getting worried that your own car was a piece of shit that it couldn't stay with a shit box Ford .

Awesome car, look's in very good condition too And as Mike say's, you'd worry when you got slayed by a mk 3 Escort
Bit like Chris @ Power Engineerings Mk 1 Fiesta 1.3

also changing panels and windows to light weight and im going on a diet

I still think it will surprise alot of people - I can't imagine many people in a supercar will think that you're capable of much in an old 'W' reg Ford even if it does have a rollcage in it.
Oh how wrong they'd be
Get some pics up when you get the steelies on again
