Cheers, that section of road from Carndonagh to Buncrana was a Donegal stage one year....turned out to be too fast, but its a great flowing bit of mountain road if there is nothing on it. Just watch out for the sheep lol

What time do you expect to be in Buncrana do you know?

That thing was a pure animal phil, the raw power of the 90 brake twisted the chassis and the back doors popped open themselves. There's no way we would have been so negligent to drive off without closing them ourselves. ;)

I'll be a happy man if I never have to set foot in that flea ridden monstrosity.

Outstanding I love it (y). Lively bit of steer from the rear there you would be like a monkey climbing a mango tree holding onto that :p:p

Like trying to hold onto a greased up badger. One of the best moments yet was going sideways onto the road with mum hanging on. Good times, roll on the summer

Rover's!
No to rally arches unless they are metal.

Car is pure sex wee in my pants, infact if this wasnt a leather sofa, I would have to get the steam cleaner out.

That is sexual, after a quick skite out in a Mk2 at the RSi RMS day, I get Mk2 Escorts, that must be an animal to hold onto!

That is class, and as said must be a proper handfull on the road. I love the tarmac arches on them but for some reason yours looks just right without them.
