Both cars are without doubt some of the best Fords around today. Credit to both of you.


Maybe a thrash between the two?

In total agreement with all the positive comments about the lads and cars.

Definatley two of my personal faves, and top fella's the pair of them.

The Mk3 was BRUTAL before the refresh and upgrades, genuinely scary but awesome car! I still have night terrors about the blast round the industrial estate

Andy was kind enough to let me have a couple of pedals of his, and i've been passenger when he's been driving both in traffic and full boost, it really is the perfect all round car.....geezer's a bufty, but he uses it

Good show boys!

Will definately help mate. U cutting them off or want some fresh ones? Everything looked to be working well in the launch area? Are your rear shocks adjustable?
