[Flat 1]

I have recently sorted my audio out, so now we can all appreciate Phil Collins in his MK2 Escort...

The guy in the Cosworth is not bad either!

Ta for posting that, great to see Phil C still giving Escorts some stick!
Was that Ari Vatenan driving VLE 756X Rothmans escort?, that’s a valuable car!

Talking of sliding Escorts, here’s a clip of me, in another Ex Rothmans escort taken in 1984 at Lydden Hill having fun in practise, my best bits start at 6.12, and yes, the cheesy music does stop early on!

Yes it was, with Dave Richards sitting next to him as well....and yes it is.....Beaulieu don't let out to play that often. I'm guess this was a few years back, when they had a 25 year Rothmans WRC re-union there with VLE and Ari, Dave Richards and Dave Sutton.

Yep, 2006. There was also a celebration of the Sunbeam Lotus winning the makes title for Talbot in the same year (40 cars in the SLOC gathering), but because it wasn't Ford they hardly got a mention. I seem to remember talking to you there, Graham...
