colins driving was on the limit, on every bend!! 137 mph on the straight just before the pic's so he said that sound stays with me .. enough to make a nun mildly moist!!

Am I alone in thinking that it looks absolutely epic on massive wheels?....





If I am alone..........

Everybody else is blind.

Colin ran 200x580 15" Wheels. P.C has had a few big wheeled 'scorts, i think that one had 16" front 18" rears.
Tend to agree that 13" wheels dont look right anymore.

BTW Colin retired with a cracked diff, P.C ribbed him that he should have fitted a stronger 8 1/2" diff, but i think it was a hit on a road compression at speed.

Escorts always looked a little peculiar with 13" when on slicks.

But (IMHO) they still look right in 13" with big fo knobblies and minilites

didn't he do that in '89 on the manx in a sierra cossie as well?

yep, went gung ho over the jumps at brandywell and the diff shat itself !! in the escort it was on a jump over the tram lines i think.
