this is me

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!
