Looking at the times down the strip that is nearer 400bhp than 500bhp.

Still looks exceptional value however

I was looking more at the terminal speed rather than the time. Generally good start or not the car will produce around the same ball park figure.

Not correct I have know that car for 10 years and Lee is not the hardest driver from mem his times with diff power,
330hp 14 and 99mph 400hp low 13 and 108mph close to 500hp low 12 and 117mph,
He was always happy with what he did and what the car did and it was never abused mechanicly.

Dave,

Was just a tiny piece of friendly banter...

I implied that Helen made you get rid of YUM and now she has gone, you can have another escos.

PLEASE dont tell me you are back together and I have put my big foot in my mouth ?

Simon.

If you only knew the situation

Regards YUM we both agreed it was going to be broken so not Helens fault

As for Helen we have split up, its a real shame l did try to get into another relationship and its just not the same so went back to being single. I do miss Helen and Helen does know that.

So now going back to a Escort Cossie do miss tinkering around the garage

Fair play Dave, the Ford scene is worse than a addiction to smack at times

Looks like a cracking car.
