Argh gutted I didn't get time to come out with you as a passenger on Sunday mate. Only just seen this thread and I can say that in the flesh the build is stunning - a credit to you! :D

Ahh bummer mate. Still, I should be up at Knockhill in June so if you're coming along to that, we'll make it happen! :D

Yeah was a grand day out tbh; I always enjoy Crail if the weather's kind to us like that! It's always busy but a great location and nice to see a few cars that aren't on the usual show circuit down south! :D

Have you got any pictures. Your current bottom rad hose? I'm getting a batch of proper ones made by Roose incorporating the standard water rail used on a mk1 focus to tidy the engine bay

I was at the Lancs RSOC regional day at Anglesey on the 22nd MAy, great circuit and great venue, bit of a trek mind you 320miles there and back , but well worth it

heres some footage of the car going round the circuit, car was going really well , and the circuit suits the car down to a tee

Looks great, but definitely think you should have the cage painted! Satin black or something along those lines? :-?

Good question about the focus or fiesta, no contest on track , the Fiesta wins hands down, didnt like the Focus on trcak sterring was too light and suspension was a bit soft, BUT.....on the road the Focus is absolutely immense, best car ive ever owned, I sold my Escort Cosworth after i got a drive of one, and bought one 2 months later

Jon thanks for the comments, and Ive got the copyright on the footplates , so no copying :D

Kris be good to catch up again mate, I think we will be down at Santa Pod for Central DAy this year, not sure wether ill be bringing the car , but may still do, depends wether IMSY finishes the FIEVO in time. But Im doing a few track days this year and already booked and paid for Croft , Kames, Knockhill and Ford Fair
