space frame chassis: hardly ground breaking
focus shell: well,its everywhere
cosworth engine: regardless of power up to 1000 bhp its been done
lap times: put the same money in an open wheeler and watch them drop
so no,i dont care who built it,its just nothing major to me.
not being obtuse but its hardly a ground breaking car

For me there are to many top quality cars out there to have a fav, but if i really really had to pick it would prob be Martins Escort, everything about it is pure quality a real credit to him

Eh??

It's a carbon fibre bodied, Spaceframed 600bhp cossie powered 4x4 2007 Focus....

That laps knockhill faster than most race prepped cars I've seen.

What kind of track/race cars have you been looking at to make that look ordinary...

Big Wig 074,

I am on about cars on here mate, yes there are better cars out there in the big wide world. "Not that many though". But on Passion Ford this is one of the most engineered cars I have ever seen. the Jig work alone is a work of art. the finish is amazing and the time it was bulit is the cherry on top. Forgot about the carbon as well

no ELE is a ROAD car,proven time and time again to be quick at EVERY event its EVER been too,always in the top cars,never been let down by angine or box or diff or anything else failure!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER!!!think about that!then think its got a mint body,then think its got a full interior with a nice stereo and was built HOW long ago???and its a ROAD car
now.AGs car,ok its quick,BUT......its a track or race car first and foremost,nothing else,NEVER used on road.so....................its fast,but others have been faster,its quick at accelerating.....but others have done better,its quick around a track.......but others with the same budget are doing FAR better......its not special in my eyes,as a track car id want something more special,but for a road car id want something that NEVER breaks and ALWAYS puts in times of the top hitters over 10-15 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!
so to me yes!!!ELE far out ranks AGs car

"Ag's car is nothing special for a track car."


That is the quote of the centuary


This car that is nothing special is the car that stops whole crowds of people at a time just so they can have a look.

Go to any track Andy is on and tell the other guys racing him that his car is nothing special and see what they say

I have watched him go from last on the grid to first within 3 laps at Knockhill in this car that aint anything special

What events has ELE been too?

Think I have seen it doing a top speed run once in one of the mags and I think it did 175 which is not great for a car of that spec. So its defo NOT one of the top hitters.

As far as I knew it has spent massive amount of time over the years off the road, so it has hardly had time to break has it?
