High Class Escort (Mk2 tarmac rally car thing)

Bugger. They are certainly thief magnets!
My mechanic mate who is helping has used exe-tc on a number of pretty high spec impreza rally cars and has nothing but good things to say. I had it in my head they were big money though. I guess spec drives price. £2k i could live with, £4k not.

Nitron offer a matching set for £2600 (with 10% discount available for cash) which doesn't seem to be bad. Fronts have stub axles integrated and come with top mounts too.

Yes...yes...YES. Fully behind this thread OP. You'll have to bring it over here to a rally when its finished and confuse the locals!!! Or come over when the roads are quiet I can lend you some pacenotes if you feel like tackling some classic stage roads at a more...ahem...brisk pace.

Awesome, cheers 
I take it you’re in Ireland?!
I live in a fairly rural part of Scotland, it’s quite possible to go for an hours blast without seeing another car on a summers evening. It’s great!

Whenever you finish it and if you feel like driving some of the same roads, there’s a fantastic run here annually in May that does a fantastic and marshalled route down there, similar route to what I did in the summer, Healy pass included that does be awash with Mk2s amongst other bits of fine machinery and very well organised. Would be a great experience for you in your car if interested. I have a video somewhere and all you can see is a stream of stuff trailing up the pass.

I watched the rally of the lakes on sky this year (and re-watched the episode showing all the historics and modified cars about 5 times). I'd love to visit sometime.
Yes I know who that chap is, white Chevette isnt it? Had or still has a S1600 Saxo (one of my all time favourite rally cars) too iirc.
Rally of the lakes is 100% worth the trip. Nothing beats standing at the top of Molls Gap at 7 in the morning in the mist waiting to hear the howl of modified escorts approaching and emerging sideways from the fog with hundreds looking on! But you'll need to book accomodation at least 6 months in advance! And the prizegiving and piss up in the Gleneagle after is great craic although they had no band this year which was annoying as the previous year they had an amazing one. Still fun though.
Thinking of heading to the Irish Tarmac 40th anniversary celebration in Killarney in 2 weeks. They are trying to get as many past winners as possible. Billy Coleman, Austin McHale, Andrew Nesbitt all confirmed amongst many others. But I am going to Rallylegend next week so i might spend all my money there instead
