Was it the Escort that the guy broke his back in?! I interviewed his sister recently, who said he was planning to do it again this year!?!!

Ian

Thats was me, where did you meet my sister mate?

We can’t do it this year unfortunately as its sold out and my back just wouldn’t be upto it… but we will be back the year after!

Sean actually did most of the Gumball Rally as well and did ALL the parties!

After Martin dumped the clutch outside the hotel showing off to the crowds we broke another gearbox and so Sean jumped in a Van, whipped the Quaife out of my car and charged over to Paris! and we had it changed in time for the start of the Rally Sean then came followed the route in a hired Diesel people carrier and somehow managed to beat us to every single checkpoint!!! We had a 600bhp Escort and a Tuned R33 GTR Skyline so he did take the piss out of us a little bit as you can imagine

Was a great event, being side by side with an Enzo at 190mph in a little Escort was my highlight

I’m sure Sean will be doing the Gumball with us next time as well

Me and Martin are both coming to Croft so will be good to meet some of you guys

Here is the last ever piccy I took of the Escort. an hour later we had the crash…

Thats was me, where did you meet my sister mate?

I interviewed her (which I won’t say any more about in case her current boss is a closet Lotus fan). She’ll remember me, we talked Exiges, Mini Coopers and about collecting the bits that were left of her brother from Morroco (I think you gave her a bit of a scary! ).

See you at Croft.

It was shocking to be honest mate. Fast in a straight line, but broke down at every corner!
