well andy had the car at knockhill again today, he had a couple of small problems in the morning, but by the afternoon the car was flying, easily the quickest car there.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...
...When people like Andrew are building Ford's as good as this, you can almost forgive Ford themselves for not producing anything overly hot in the last 10 years!
Stunning car!
