Frank Kelly. Not the Bathshack one thats just been done but the more plainer livery before that one. Popular driver plus the Irish ones always seem to sell well. 65 were made in the Bathshack livery and i think it's sold out.

How do I go about getting the bonnet vent done?

As a lot of the newer Mark 2's seem to have them on now

My vote Steve would be for the Camillus Bradley Mk2, preferably the car that won the Sperrins event a couple of years ago.  Wink

.

Getting them 5spoke wheels done would be a good idea, Trofue use an Audi 5spoke as it's the closest they have to the Rev wheel,
Also I've been asked on FB over the last 2days by 3 people if I had any McPhillips MKll's for sale so that may be a good one to start with,

best 5 spokes are the ones from the Metros i used on the McGardy Escort better than those Audi things
I asked Trofeu about making a pure Group 4 Revolution 5 spoke and i was prepared to pay total costs but now have lost interest

That would be crazy to ban them

Safety record of them is good so no real reason to ban them

Just waiting to hear back from drivers now for permission to build their car

Its been rumoured for years that banning 2.5 Escorts in Ireland was coming as it was said they are too fast and can be as quick as a WRC. So what does that acheive when escort lads might just go out and buy WRC cars and still be quick.
