Toby Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 Here.... http://s74.photobucket.com/albums/i273/ ... I_9800.flv Quote " Ron Harris, proper 'old boy' legend, Pinto I think - nippy!"
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 Nice find . I saw Ronald yesterday as he's tinkering with my mates engine at present and he's a top bloke . He's unbelievable for a 74 year old pensioner , strong as an ox and loves his escort . We love you old fella
MK2Ed Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 Yep I'd agree. A good find and definitely a top bloke... Oh and Gaz, with forearms like that no wonder...
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 I'm hoping i can be as strong as Ron when i'm 74 years old , no chance though as i'm only 40 now and still weaker than him !!!!!!!!
Admin Mk2Jo Posted February 9, 2008 Admin Report Posted February 9, 2008 Lovely footage - that car sounds lovely and Ron's reaction times are spot on I think he came 1st in the handicap for Brighton & Hove in 2006
OldskoolSue Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 I took a few picks of Ron Harris at the speed trials last year..heres one of my faves
jamie Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 Great vid! I just love the sound of that engine and exhaust set up.
Jeff HPE Motorsport Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 Its so nice of you all,to say such nice things about my Dad (Ron Harris) "HPE Motorsport" He will be so pleased when I tell him. He doesn`t like it when there is Bad feeling, & negative comments, by others, & some of us as well. After all we are all on here for the same reason, & that is the love of OSF.. He loves his Escort & competing with it! He also loves building engines, but as said he is nearly 74 years old, & he can`t do half the stuff he used to & would still like to, but his body won`t let him, & that is why I am running things these days! although, me Dad, still wants to be involved & still is doing alot of his old customers, overhauling, & refresh`s. Good old Dad. Love you man.. Jeff Harris...
H.P.E harry Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 Wicked video, sounds the boll*cks. Still kicking ass!

Toby Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Posted February 12, 2008 Ron's cars even better now . It's all resprayed under the bonnet and looks foooooking lush It looked foookin' lovely before so it must look LUSHER!! Is it still as tuned or has he dropped a level of tune?
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 It looked foookin' lovely before so it must look LUSHER!! Is it still as tuned or has he dropped a level of tune? He sold his last engine and said he was retiring from going fast so building something sensible . Now he's changed his mind again and is selling the sensible one as he wants to build another fast one . Good lad
