cheers for the comments guys, Its a group 4 escort shell so basically same as rally car with the strengthening stitch welding cage etc,long turret suspension on the rear and six linked rear axle ,So yes can go round corners and track days and is road legal,have another set of springs for track which are alot stiffer,Thats what makes it more impresive as its an allrounder and not just built for one thing,and is all steel body which makes it alot heavier than some,so allways have the option of making it lighter lol, carbon panels spring to mind ,,,,,,

Am I the only one that noticed the fluffed 2nd to 3rd gearchange on the 9.7 second run! I fluff a change like that I lose half a second! How on earth did that still run a 9.7 @ 143!

Fair play because I've seen you and the car at Shakespeare and it's an awesome bit of kit and I mean truely amazing! So much respect for running those times in a 2 wheel drive let alone a mark 2 escort!

I had a chat to you at shakespeare and I complemented you on your stunning car but that doesn't change the fact that you had a slow change from 2nd to 3rd and hit that f*cking amazing time!!! Pretty sure I was running a skyline running very low 11's that day and I wasn't even interested in my times compared to yours lol
