The beast returns! Metro 6R4 Escort!
 

The Moffetts finally got it out again after a resto.
Sam and Josh take it for a few sideways laps of Mondello park.

Looks like a bit of a handful! What is it then? 6R4 with an escort body shell?

That looks a handful

Thats quite a bit of kit !

not seen this out for years, still looks good.

shit hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wana have a go

Awesome! Looks a menace to control. Would love a ride!

OMG that IS a handful! :respekt:

Yea their father Robert had a Metro 6R4 group B as a rally cross car and wrecked it. He then reshelled with want I can only assume was his road car at the time. It's a real animal, should hopefully be making a few appearances at rally's this year.

mental:grin:

Thats awesome, great driving lol

Love things like this, proper mental! Top marks :top:

That's quality

Peddled well to with a couple of comedy spin offs lol

wicked bit of kit

Loved it and great driver to boot :banana:

what an animal

Thats quality.It loves to be sideways.

Sam was International Irish Tarmac group N champion last year, I think Josh was second. They are also big into drifting, buggies etc. if it has wheels and an engine they can get it sideways lol

Has anyone seen their gymkhana video?

Both great vids.

The Escrot looks a bit of an Animal!

It is! I seen their father roll it years ago and still go on to win the stage lol

couple of quality videos there :top:

Great videos, escort looks like a right handful.

OMG!!!!!! Absolute BEAST, fighting with that all the time :boxer:good driving too :grin:

nice thats look awesome

It's a monster lol it's hard to believe they can use it in the narrow, twisty and bumpy tarmac stages around here.

How has that got a MSA log book but Andy Burton was out-law-ed?

Good piece of kit non the less.

He's fearless behind the wheel of that thing

I think that's the main problem, it was ok a few years ago but not now. Sam was supposed to use it for the Monaghan stages but it wouldn't pass surtineering. It can only be used as a sweeper or in some small events. Sam and josh both have comitments with the Irish Tarmac chpionship, Dunlop national championship and their drifting. So it will only be out a few times this year most likely with Robert behind the wheel doing pace car duty's.

Both those videos are great :top:

Cool vids, very good bit of driving. Escort is mental!

awesome vids :)

that escort is mental but so cool id love something as lairy as that

Good to see the Escort is still about, I haven't seen it since 99.

Ginge

Cool, never actually seen it while it was a metro.
