Default Rodneys Saff, reylands escos

Havent spoken to Mark in a while, what is happening with it? Is it still going for the 215+ ? Whats the current bhp?

Reyland, i noted the escos is on pistonheads 60k time for the lambo then martin?

Rods saph is still around, and I believe there are still plans to run it again, when, I couldn't say. Don't forget there's still the likes of wenny (his mk3 is in the 9s) and the likes of Charlie Shaw, so there's plenty of life in the old cossies yet.

Hi i have never stripped a major one. The major one i had was that ggr saff sold complete but the bloke saw money signs and stripped it proper saff that. Everything else were either shite or more bling with mint shells that went back to std saffs which is very good news for the scene imo.

rod told me not so long ago at a wedding that he will brake his record again so i guess him and mark will at some point next year move the goal post even further away!

I think 206mph in the wet one handed on fifth gear in a cardigan is already way ahead? Mark could only top it with a ndubz hat and a pipe screaming "MAD" out of the window

I think Charlie is getting at 60k for a car that hasnt acheived anything????

I feel its a good price for the spec providing it was proven with a degree of reliability, not really seen it do much?

My post is really trying to establish where are they, remember the days as everyone trying for 180mph then mad came along and ruined it i guess by moving the goalpost to out of reach as the money involved is stupid 180mph was a sensible budget!!!!!

I've seen it do back to back 195, 198 and 200mph runs at Brunters followed by driving home.

So apart from proving itself as the fastest Escort in the world, you're right, it's achieved nothing

Should I be expecting an angry reply? Well, shit stirring topics surely deserve shit stirring replies?
