I'll be there for the Classic Ford show in June, wont be in the though I'll be on the Old School Ford stand in a mk1 Escort.
11th June, there'll be some quick car's there. Well worth going to, anyone can race as long as it's a Ford.
There will be modern Ford's there as well.

As we are talkin bout racing...
Has anybody found that when trying to get a quick start that 2nd gear doesnt pick up in the
power band and there is abit of a flat spot around 3500revs! Does that make sense!?

Do you have to rev the nuts out of 1st or is my gear change worse than my nans!
I think its the latter and I need to practice (after a few more hundred miles) or maybe both!!
Any comments!?

Prob better doing that anyways though, gradually pushing it a bit, rather than taking it gently, and then flooring it as soon as you hit the 1000 mark!

Ah yeah but then you don't get the satisfaction of beating a striped with a non-striped one.

Well personally I think the white ones look fine, but silver sounds good. I can vaguely remember seeing a non-ST with silver stripes and they did suit it well, just can't find the pic at the minute.

Hmm, silver stripes are quite cool! Have to think bout it!
That performance blue ST could be on to something with the blue/white combo!! (wouldnt go mad with the tippex though) Are there any other white bits on it to even it out!?
Also, those rally style roof vents.....
Are they just stuck on? That must cause drag surley!!

*lol* The rear plastic bit is painted white too but I think the mesh could have done with being left alone. Yes the roof vents are stuck on and I guess they do cause drag (along with an odd whoooshing noise when you're in the car) but they look alright I guess

Didn't notice the mesh, I know what your sayin it is abit over kill!
Different though, them white OZ alloys would look cool on the blue car to balance out the blue and white!

Personally I think the standard wheels look fine normally, but in this case with what they've done with the rest of it, I'd agree its a time when changing them to white would suit things a bit better.

They're hoping to get the standard wheels powder coated white.

you dont need stripes for people to try to race you, I dont have stripes yet, but that does not stop them (I just assumed everyone loved my car as much as I do and wanted a closer look!!)
