Default tried out a gp4 mk2 escort today

Wow what a piece of kit, Rothmans replica, absolutely immaculate. What fun, ive been trying to make my mind up between drifting or rallying for quite a while. Just finishing my drift 3dr and took that out last weekend now this one this weekend. We're lucky that we own the local airstrip so ive got somewhere to practice.Now im more undecided than ever cos ive been offered the chance to drive it on tarmac stage rallies but cant do or afford both, decisions, decisions

PS my mate has done his logos so ill ring you in the week, regards Tony

Im good cheers Tony! Just completed a workshop move so all been a bit hectic! Only moved to another set of units around the corner - even easier to find!! Still got the damn Limousine!! (potential driftcar perhaps??!! ).

Ill sort the quaife ones out for you this week! (completely forgot to be honest!).

Give me a buzz in the week re: the other logos, also let me know the sizes of the quaife bits you want! Same number as before!

Cheers
Chris

get into rallying, be prepared though it's addictive and not cheap! I used to navigate for a mate of mine in a mk2 we built ourselves, now navigate for a guy in the 205cup, looking forward to competing down south for a change. Nice 3dr by the way man!
