A road legal MK1 Escort with a big block mopar lump (440ci) if i remember rightly in it. Has a full tube chassis and has run 10's. I think it's got a bottle in the boot too...

The man who owns it, also owns this:

Not to sure about the Escy (sounds about right though Dan, although I don't think it's still Mr Wright's) - Matt's since sold the truck to help fund the Nostalgia Funny Car project.

That nitro-whatcha-me-call-it stuff is addictive

Last i knew he still owned it as he sold it to Shane (surname forgotten) in Ireland then bought it back and made it road legal, he gave it a thrashing at the hot rod drags on treads.

Last i knew it was for sale yes, i presumed he still owned it as it was stored at Festers place and they are good buddies. Purely a guess.

So when will Matt's car going to be done? I presume Fester will be building it?

U look a bit scared sitting in that. Will you be racing it?. You got to have big gahoonas for that kind of stuff.
