Re: My Day at Woodbridge Middlewick Stages.

Well done Ashley, that's some impressive times you set there after the little excursion, I see what you mean about it taking the shine off the new bumper I think Shaun has some paint left if you need him

Glad you liked the steering, that was seriously heavy before.

Be great to see some more pics when you get them.

Well done Ashley and Tudor, blinding results considering the off in stage 1, and looking at the picture, what we were discussing on the rear could do with being done to correct the camber

Re: My MK6 Escort RWD Rally Car

What a small world.

Here is me navigating for Nick Kelly on the Swansea Bay Rally 2006 in the black Escort. That was a great car which we used for a few years winning the 1600 class on several different events beating some much more powerful cars (it had a 1600 x-flow)




Good to hear about your outings Ashley. Keep us up to date with your results.

Pete certainly builds a strong car. He is building my one at the moment.

Re: My MK6 Escort RWD Rally Car

Yeah Nick Kelly bought the Mk4 off us after i rolled it at a autocross still get an award from that event lol.

We repaired her and pulled out the BDA and put in our old X Flow which served us really well before the BD. That car was an excellent car we did everything in her rallies, sprints, autocross and rallycross! I think it is now going back together as a slow project as a rallycross car!

What car is yours at Peters as im always down there!

Re: My MK6 Escort RWD Rally Car

Ashley,
My car is the blue x-pack Mk2 at Peters. I've put a few pictures up in the 'restorations and projects' area.
I should be at Peters at the weekend sometime to deliver my engine.

Nick and I managed a top 4 time on one stage on the Wyedean rally a couple of years ago when it snowed heavily with the Black Mk4.

When ever it used to get steamed up inside we could see the marks where the rallycross stars stickers used to be stuck to the rear side windows!

Them are some great pictures of your recent outing.
