When andy & charlie had the escorts they had a feature in one the mags.They took their hat off to the both of them for driving them like they were stolen & even managed a gearbox change at the side of crail quarter mile.. im sure the focus will see a good bit drifting this weekend..I know he has got his plated diff in the car & a set of road tyres for the job.

Was Andy not a pioneer of the UK drift scene in his crystal blue saff!? lol. I remember being sure that I saw it once turn in with NO braking at the end of the start finish straight at khill. OK so you spun 360 but the boot was kept in and still not a shoddy lap time lol!! Some good battles with ali's magenta saff but the blue one was always sideways. I'm sure Kenny ended up buying that shell built up off you, one previous careful owner lol

I'm pretty sure the noggies will love it, they are also total pissheads like us from when I was working out there
