It seemed as if Harvey wasn't too intrested in the thrashes/shows etc for himself, I mean it's not as if he needs to advertise or anything ! The name SCS speaks for itself !!

So if it wasn't for you I feel we wouldn't of seen this animal of a mota & Harvey at the shows givin it death on track for all too see so THANK YOU !!

The car lived up to & exceeded ALL my expectations !!

Absolutely unreal !! Loved watchin it against Andy's Focus, specially when Harvey was hangin round for him then they both jus WENT !!

Big Respect to Harvey for building such an amazing car & Jim for givin Harvey the motorvation to do it & be where we can all enjoy it !!

wow thats a speach !! lol

to be honest i dont think he neded that much motivation ! as since he left the rally scene he hasnt been up to much so i think he wants to have a bit of fun

for me to have the oportunity to built such a car has been a brilliant experience and im glad to be there urging him to get out with it more and more
and show everyone how the old escorts still go

thanks jb

I grew up jus round the corner to a guy called Dave Jaccobs & he was ALWAYS rallying against Harvey, always had Cossie's etc so that where I got the bug from & where I heard soooooooooooo many times Harvey could pedal.

Then when I got my 2nd Cossie & met Mikey Rainbird, he talked me into gettin an engine built by Harvey, rememberin the name from all them years ago I was straight on the phone & booked it in !!

425hp later, the car absolutely flew & did so for about 3 years, even with my eager foot & turnin the boost up every couple weeks !! it ended up runnin 3 bar & never missed a beat

Harvey whipped the lid off once for a check over & not a single bit of det anywhere, he was as shocked as me lol

Jus really good to see him out "playin"

jb

See ya all soon, when's he next out on track ?? Justin, are you bringin your's to National Day ??
