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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
