Oh yeah, the amount of work that has gone into that is awesome and the quality of the job looks spot on too!!!

I think the way a car is built all depends on what its for. I used to like straight line speed but these days I think braking and handling is just as important!

She looks good clean too.

Like the perfect woman - beautiful in evening wear or rolling around in the mud in her underwear

Very quick Escort! In real world terms tho you can see how much faster the Evo is. Its only 140+ where the Escort passes it (4wd transmission losses) and in real world situations these speeds arent ever going to be encountered! On a very long straight of a track the Escort might have an advantage but would be so far behind due to handling/braking/power application round the other 90% of the track it wouldnt matter!

Must have had a serious amount of cash spent on it! Great sleeper too!!!

100% right exactley what the owner and a few other people said on passionford about it as well


Yeah - and it's white - gaylord!













Seriously though, nice motor - it's just a shame about that damn steering wheel. I'm surprised he's left that to last and still not changed it.

Am a tad confused Jimbo.

Would be interested to know how he could be doing 160 as he states when his rev counter only appears to reach approx 6K.

I could be mistaken of course.

Mine only does 156 on the rev limiter in 5th which is just over 7K


Also, I don't see how he could have lost the Mitsubishi considering how long it took him to catch him and the small discrepancy in speed attained.

'no sign of the evo' - my arse, I bet it was right behind him


BTW, do you agree the sense of speed in car and on camera at Brunters is almost non existent? - he could be doing 50 for all the scenery and drama there is to judge by
