Default Performance Ford.. this months issue

for those of you who have this issue.. the one with Efe's Loony Escos.. turn to page - 037 in the Bedford Trackstars Part..

theres a Black Rari in the centre.. this is normal.. but what strikes me is the caption above it.. 'One of the slowest cars of the day' Surly this is just a writers joke?.. or is the caption a true fact.. i like oranocos grass cutting picture tho

Perfectly true, the 348 is one of the worst Ferraris ever produced, slow (only 300bhp and nearly 1500kg weight ), evil handling (thanks to the engine sitting ABOVE the gearbox ). This particular car was lapped by nearly ALL the Cossies, some of the high powered RST's and even a Metro .

I whooped that Ferrari in my S1 then went up to him afterwards with my camera.
He asked me if I wanted a picture of his ferrari.

I said yes so I could show my mates at home what I pissed all over in my Mk3 Escort

He had an unamused look on his face as he said " So your the one that was all over me"

I merely had a couple of moments Or were you talking in general

Anyway Keith G666 has made a full recovery and his dry cleaner sorted his shorts so no harm done

Dave Sharrocks escort was black flagged what ever that means

I got black flagged because my exhaust was a bit noisy.

Had to take my time as i went past the microphones.



Really good day cannot wait to do Castle Combe next.
