Just spoke to JB, he had a nightmare this morning. He's about 15 mins away.

So they run in a north east direction?

Warren broke his Quaife gearbox at Brands Hatch, so he isn't there.

Martin is swamped with work, so he isn't.

The usual RS200 is there the Scottish cars as mentioned, Lee Cattermole's 3-door, YUM a green Escort with NOS and that's about it. Not sure what happened to Ade?

So you don't call Martin running 1:14's round Combe back in the summer at the Bristol and Swindon day 'impressing' then?

Stop spreading rumours

You could have a big power car if you had some will power & didn't sell them

euan = 184.9? lol

If I was in andys focus and he was in my mondy round knockhill I would still put my money on him beating me! Theres more to track times than just the car - andy is nuts. So many factors that people dont put into the equation - including how hard someone wants to run their car. Martin put in very hard work getting his car to the finish it is, why should he just waste it to impress strangers when its easily fast enough to enjoy turned down.

Same its not nos as the secret - would have been funny

Very unfair comment The car has been used on many trackdays throughout the year inc the Norway trip and yes we had an issue with a defective crankshaft but other than that it has been mostly trouble free.

If you have seen it on track and not been mildly impressed then I'm sure your standards are higher than most OR you don't know what the fuck you are talking about
I have been impressed with it on the track, not as impressive as AG Focus, porkies/rentons cossie or your lack of manners.

All im saying is the magazines etc hyped the car up big time maybe even more then you would of wanted because it upped the expectations of your workmanship.

On a note of Reyland Escort - whom saw this at Rallyday

By far the quickest car on track even against the Reyland 3 door absoutly abliterated it along the back straight and that is one awesome car too..
