hi,
i've joined here on the suggestion of a guy i work with. he's got the R1 engined Mini, which i gave loads of advice (good or otherwise) on fitting. we're now working on building a front subframe with proper geometry coilovers.
my car is a Mk1 Escort which i've owned for years now - trust me it's a bit like a kitcar because there really isn't much original Escort left.
don't know if you guys have heard of the car but i helped a mate build a Hollier Mosquito about 15 years ago - chassis 003 to be precise. Man, that was ugly but dynamically very good. Rear engined with Mini front subframes at both ends and a tubular chassis.

A warm welcome to the club Bernie.
Your car sounds very interesting. I have a soft spot for the Mk1 - used to do a little rally navigating in a Mexico.
That was back in the days of Roger Clark though :)
Any cars are welcome here that no longer reasmble the original so please make yourself at home.
Never heard of the Hollier Mosquito - Google here we go!!
Hello Bernie!
Thanks for the advice already on my heavy breathing engine. Hopefully we'll catch up at a meet sometime. I've only been in the club for a few weeks but it seems really sociable and friendly so i'm sure you'll get on just fine here!
