The Escort doesn't belong to me, but was only thing we could commandeer this year to get the three of us there in one vehicle!"<BR> <BR> That usual old 'It doesn't belong to me story...'<BR> <BR> Iain was more than a spectator this year - he was commandeered to change tyres on the #64 Corvette, by none other than Andy Pilgrim. We hope to post Iain's story here soon.<BR> <BR> Meanwhile, the Escort is doing a remarkable impression of a pile of rubbish - can you tell the difference between the rubbish on the right and the rubbish on the left? All it needs is that Le Mans fridge beside the rubbish sacks and the Escort would have a twin!<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
