How's your gearing for now? And how do you find the new dash/gauge layout? Easier to follow,

Saw Andy today and had a little chat, car looks fine and dandy as always and was blistering down the start/finish line
was amazed at how quite it was compared too the other cars
Was quite funny standing in the pits looking on to the track and over heard a couple of lads chatting and saying that the "RS Focus" was 1.5 secs a lap quicker than the gobstopper
they was proper shocked
Well done Andy and team
didn't catch the final part of the day but im sure your times only got better

Just read this thread from the beginning this morning - I just wanted to say what an incredible job you've done there, and now I know how a modern rally car is built i.e. the pannels fitted around the roll cage not the other way around.
You must be really proud of your achievement - well done
It's incredible to think that the 2litre cosworth engine is still the thing to have in a ultimate spec Fast Ford considering it is well over 20 years old now

2 wins today for Andrew - car sounded awesome and goes like a bullet! You really have to see and hear it in the flesh to fully appreciate what a machine it is. 2 seconds for Charlie too - well done both! Some nice powerslides from both in the last race of the season as well.
