The sunbeam was quick even though not a ford, I also liked the Anglia that was putting in good times, but the jet car was unbelievable must take some balls to aim and fire it down the strip

Jb kept getting his asre handed to him by the lovely Kirstie lol, was good to watch him going sideways up the strip though, the red v8 Escort was special indeed with a claimed 1000bhp, Norris sunbeam was running some quick times also, all in all me and the boys had a good time.

This was Richie's 1600 Escort - plan is to get flat shift working in and actually run it with some boost!

we've modified bonnet on way home rick after we noticed the throttle body we did some pulls on way home and when we got to gary's the engines pulled front engine mount clean of cradle and dented bonnet outwards and yes if all the extras are sorted for classic hoping to get into 12's then as that was my aim in the beginning probably break it up then and move on

i was just getting the 60fts down when i snapped the gearbox mounts !! it just bogs or spins up. best 60ft was a 2.5 and thats bad.

that car has got a high 12 in it as it is, just needs the right launch and no boost leaks ,couldnt belive it when i saw the throttle body hanging off tho....
