Exmoor Clouds Trial

Has anyone got details of the results of the Exmoor? We were about the second or third car to sign off at around 5.30 p.m. so guess it was a late finish for most cars. An enjoyable event with glorious weather and scenery. Its still a bit rough as the bent lower wishbones on my Troll show. But great to be trialing again.

Can you identify this mystery motor for Bart?

I am frantically trying to get hold of any history or information about a car that I gought this summer, it's a special built on a vitesse chassis and has I believe taken part in some MCC event in the early 90s.
Please take a moment to have a look at the attached page to see if you can shed any light on my little mystery

RWD Escort. Class 3 or 7. Thoughts?

Hi All

After spending a very enjoyable day messing around in a field for the Gill Morrell PCT and talking to a few people. I talked to Mike Hayward about his Escort which currently a Class 7 machine as it has been modified beyond permitted limits. Fair enough it is a FWD Escort with Mk2 running gear but it does have a 5 linked coil sprung rear end. It has always seemed a touch unfair to put this particular in Class 7. As it is on 13 inch wheels could it not be reclassified to Class 3, even on a temporary basis to see how it fares. I know that the modified Pops do very well in the higher classes but they have much larger rear wheels and probably not as useful for Autocross!

I personally have no problem with it in Class 3. Does a RWD Mk3 Escort really have a greater climbing potential than a normal RWD Escort? I realise there is potential for the "One rule for one, one for another" syndrome but on one off cases could a panel reclassify a car on a temporary basis. Lands End 2002? As long a Michael does not strike gold on the Exeter!

Does anybody else have any other thoughts for or against?
