The wheels are Compomotive MO polished aluminium...they are a classic rally rim difficult to find now ....
The car is a bit old Skool in its electronics but it has BD16’s in it which are a mild upgrade , the compression is lowered to allow more turbo boost ,it had 8 injectors and an RS500 T4 turbo which is the same as the touring cars used to run .... again steel crank and rods which have been lightened and balanced ,7 1/4 inch twin plate clutch ....around the 500BHP .. then that joins to a 6 speed R&D dog engagement gearbox (no synchro’s) ,Quaife LSD front and rear ....the rear axle has been modified to “6 degrees “which eliminates some of the inherent under steer 4WD Cossies were plagued with ...
It’s a Motorsport shell originally built by MLP in Yorkshire that went to Ford of Turkey as a Group N rally car ... later was rallied here before I bought it ...
It’s not pristine it’s been around the block .... really needs a good rebuild but I’ll have to finish the MK2 first....

2 wheels are my favourite, the freedom of the open road and being a part of your environment. Leaning into those bends, counter steering and working on those chicken strips is all part of the fun!!
4 wheels I love off road motors, old land rover defender 110's and a boggy bit of ground through the woods.
6 and 8 wheeles have become the bain of my life, I used to love the raw power of a lorry but now with everything being electrically controlled, it's taken the fun out of drifting a tractor unit in the snow? (P)

Sounds pukka! Aye the 4x4 suffered from dreadful understeer. Ahh the old electrics from back in the day. Nothing wrong with that. Steel pipes? What’s her output? Have you tested it? Must have..
Anyway, that’s champion. ?

Oh wait. I know now. Like that electric car that’s plugged in every morning which we pass. Yeah carbon zero. Imagine how much electricity that’s using. Let alone the carbon footprint in making the damn things. ?
I only listen to the bosses mush, if it’s good for Boris and Charlie then it’s good enough for me ?

Because it’s justified. We do need to watch what we’re doing and this is the FIRST small step to that change, but make no mistake - it’s not better than petrol. What do you think produces electricity to recharge these cars? It’s a step, but not a silver bullet.
Oh and you just thought Matt Hancock’s granny was the first having the vaccine. Because of the Daily Fail. Don’t believe all you read and all you see. Xx ?
