EscortHeadCase Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Spent the day at Brands yesterday. Saw some really great cars. Shame neither Alan Manns Cortina or Mustang were out (mustang made it out but had some serious handling issues so went in). I got to see my first Capri RS3100 and It was the most amazing thing on the track. Also watched an Xpack Mk2 Escort Cossie 1800 keep up with all the 70s protos and Blitz past all the batmobiles.....had some issues later on though. (p.s if anyone wants bigger pics ive got them all in 3888x2593) Battery Died. : ( amazing day though
sambo Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Well done mate, cheers for the pics. i was to be going but my mate's wife is overdue for giving birth to thier first baby so we couldnt risk it. What a shame though, it looks way better than last year! I am Soooo very gutted now.
EscortHeadCase Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Posted May 26, 2009 No worries, I went last year but it might of been a different day as i dont remember Escorts or Capris... It was great watching them though. Felt bad for the Mk2 Scort team though. Bloody rapid car but just having alot of fueling problems. The Yellow Tina in the other race was fast as well. Right up until the engine just cut out...
sambo Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 So gutted i missed this Glad you had a wicked day mate, that GAA capri is amazing. Last year it was up against a CSL and a blown 600+bhp camero.
EscortHeadCase Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Posted May 26, 2009 That thing sounded so awesome when it was pulling out of Graham Hill up the Cooper straight. Only thing that rivalled it noisewise was the Chevy Stingray and the Grand Sport. Also the underbonnet on the Mk2 Escort involved a BDA on Mechanical injection.
BronzeRS Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 http://www.indiphotography.co.uk/Galler ... index.html Some more photos from Saturday. Was not any Escorts or Capris on Saturday but weather was nice and lack of people made for some good photos!! Sorry for the link but I took a lot and it would have taken up pages!!
