I thought they weren't going to run the Bank Holiday Sprints at Angelo this year . Nearly always go as it's only 20 miles from home , pity I missed it .

I know that Orion well , a guy just up the road from the airfield used to do work on it . As far as I remember it was built using Manta 400 running gear , didn't know about the 6 cyl engine . The exhaust manifold was a real work of art with a load of bends to give equal length headers . It was always very quick but quite difficult to drive from what I heard .
 
didnt see the engine my self but one of the guys was saying it was, really quick car still, but the Mk 2 Escorts were something else, also a new focus converted to rear wheel drive, got a pic of it so if any one wanna see it, dont think the bosses wud like it posted on here, after all it aint a scooby :computer: :angry:
