Went to Scottish region rolling road day. Drove corsa there and back no dramas. It made 432bhp at the wheels tested in 5th so still seeing over 500. Top day out bug thanks to Danny b who organised it all. Was right good laugh just hanging about afterwards as well. Worth the migraine and partial deafness I am suffering right now. Comfort is not over rated. 30.9 mpg average. Economy and poke. Blue motion that vw.

The thing gets attention wherever it goes! I couldn't believe they expected to keep it down with two measly straps. Was an amusing sight! Was nice to see you again Nic.

Johnny has got some carbon Kevlar to make his door cards from. Very cool.







Had a bit of a clean and polish of the slicks vtec thing. That auto glym polish I got has done good on a couple of cars now. Might waste today doing vector and corsa.

mk1 escort has had an engine swap. the old v6 started to knock a bit so its had the spare v6 from the granada outside put in.







thats the rear independent suspension.







all running. seems to run a lot better and smoother than the old engine did as well.







its a grand old ford indeed.

nothing to do on the corsa this week.

its the 2.9 cosworth v6 engine in it on dta management. it might be over winter it sees paint. no idea what colour yet though. i dont think he has even thought about it yet. it will see another day of drag racing in primer though in a few weeks.
