Default A big thanks!!!

Well it finally happened, Yums back on the road


Would like to say a big thanks to the following people

Mark Shead, Rod, Miller, JB, Si B, Dean, Chip

Also Helen for not seeing me in 3 weeks

Picked up YUM from Marks on Sat then went home to pack for it 1st drive to Somerset, all ok just needed a few bits tightened and ok. Just a couple of evening now just to finish of a few bits then the ring on Thursday

Not running a boost controller at the moment so its only about just over a bar so l can get some milage on Yum for Mark then to turn it up and strap it to the rollers and see how close we can get to the 711bhp engine dyno figures

Also a thanks to Martin who tried to Sabotage (Joke) by not telling me to mod a part that he sent me, but hey just phoned him up and it was sorted

Roll on Brunters


Cheers

I'm properly looking forward to the first 5 minutes of being in it on the way to germany, not so sure about the rest of the way though, we'll be deaf when we get there

Awesome to see it back on the road, it certainly turned a lot of heads when you parked it up outside pizza hut when we went for food, i dont think Ive ever seen so many people appear from nowhere all at once to stare into an engine bay

Great news Dave, really pleased for you that after all your hard work the car has done it's first road miles in what a year or more?

Sorry I wasn't around at the weekend, would have been good to join you for road testing and Pizzas!

Roll on Thurs when we get this show on the road!

You are an awsome friend Chip, you take me to horse trials that you are not intrested in and give up your comfy seat in an Evo


I'am soooo glad the car is back on the road, and it's nice to be back behind the wheel of an Escort Cossie, forgot how nice the clutch is


Made an impression when I pulled into pizza hut car park


Si - Was gutted you were busy on Sunday, I was dying to get in the car and drive her but was nervous i would get lost so thought could drive over to you, then at least I knew kinda where I was going as would have had a tom tom to follow
