Big up to Doug Stirling
For letting me have a drive of his escort cosworth last night.
What a fantastic engine that is, its real credit to Doug with the choices he has made and of course to all the people like Karl and Martin who have put it all together for him.
Very cool car indeed
Thanks for letting me have the chance to take it out

Thanks Chip.
I like other people to drive the Es Cos from time to time so as to get some feedback about how it go's and feels on the road.
Thanks for all for the kind words posted by others too

What is the final spec Doug?. I know you had a fair bit of work done between Karl and Brom, but didn't know Martin also had a hand in it.......
From memory it should be up there or close to Yum, is that correct?
