I wrote the story, not Paddy. He took the photos though. Hope you liked the photos at least! Haha!
@JeremyPhipps Yeah the Swedish are doing really good things with these motors - everyone has 1000hp over there! haha :)
The story was more to share my experience of being around the car. I do agree with you that if this article was written by someone with an eclectic knowledge of hot rods, then no doubt it would have been taken in a different direction with some more more history about hot rodding. Appreciate the feedback.
@JustinBeaverFever It was pretty awesome! There's a spotlight on this car now...
@Michael Grassl Mitch! That's a pretty tame car for him, then? haha. Loads of names at the show including the head of Volkswagen who apparently sits in a fold-out chair and watches all the Volkswagen Audi Group cars cruise around. No racetrack there, so probably not much good for you, though! :)
@ReedHall In my mind I would live at a racetrack and never leave. My daily drive would be to the on-site fuel station and back to the track for more laps! Haha... that way ceramics would be no issue...
@RS779 It's crystal clear in the story that this is not a gasser. In fact, in my opinion, it's not even really a car - it's a piece of art. It's nonsensical. And that's what's so great about it! Why so serious?
MY BAD! :holds head in hands: It was the lack of sleep, honest!
@Phishy Yes, you're right. I am punching myself in the face repeatedly right now. The long days and nights must have affected my brain!
@ConnorKellerman I will see what I can dig out on the Escort builds.
@KietaPhillips Very cool choice of chassis!
@Spaghetti The car is still in development - aren't they always? So these things may well hapen!
@otar Thanks for the kind words. It was quite an adventure to make this story come to life. Well worth the effort though!
@StuartBurns Oh so raw!
@Peter Miles Thanks Big Pete!
