Capri
drift project |
I've owned this Capri for just over eight years now, and in that time ranged from being a 30k a year daily driver to more recently a drift car!. Despite a lot of stubborn persistence my early attempts on track showed up its massive dynamic short comings, so it has now developed into a substantial project. Currently being welded, stripped, caged and tarted up at Chizfab. Also the Capri is soon to be on the receiving end of several hundred horsepower courtesy of a Scandinavian style 2.9 V6 with a massive turbo! For more on my Capri
check out Classic Ford magazine's 'Staff Cars' section every month or
so. |

Sierra
Sapphire 24v Cosworth |
The drift Sierra. An unusual one, mostly because four years ago I shot it as a feature car for Fast Ford and just recently ended up buying it! 2.9 24v Cosworth,
full BDC pro spec and a lot of fun! This year I'm getting as much seat
time in as possible, with the aim to competing in the Capri in the next
season of the British Drift Championship. |

Alfa
Romeo 155 Q4 |
I've always loved the Alfa 155, and my love of them has gone to new levels recently. After owning a 2.0 and pair of V6 models I've recently bought a 'Cloverleaf 4'. A LHD Swiss import which runs full Lancia Delta 2.0 Turbo engine and 4x4 running gear. One of only nine in the UK, and in this country quite an unknown gem even to most clued up petrolheads! |

Mk3
Escort LHD Turbo |
Eleven years ago this was my main car, but has now ended up being my long term project car. It's a LHD dutch import and unusually very solid for a MK3 Escort! Originally a 1.1L then fitted with a Turbotechnics tuned S1 RS Turbo motor, but currently things are getting serious for this Escort...... A 300BHP SiTech Racing GT28 boosted ZVH and six speed box are very nearly ready to be dropped in and thrashed! Check out my monthly page in Fast Ford's 'Staff Cars' section for updates! |

Mk4
Escort Estate ST170+ |
Until very recently my trusty MK4 Escort Estate was my main work car. Subtly modified and modernised for daily use, it's been fitted with a 2.0 Focus ST170 engine and Weber Alpha throttle bodies. Power is near 200BHP and at under a tonne it is quite a wild torque steering ride! In July 2010 I went to Norway's renowned Gatebil @ Rudskogen event in it, and spent a couple of days at the Nurburgring along the way. A healthy 9:50min lap was the best of the day! |

Volvo 850 T5 |
For years I'd been saying I'd get a sensible car for work and recently I finally did it! Versatile, comfy, dependable and most of all massively roomy for all the gear I need to take on location. I can't complain! Although it is my sensible car I couldn't resist a Rica remap, so now the 2.3 5 cylinder turbo lump is putting out around 260 BHP! |
