It looks like things are finally starting to come together. The Escort is back up and running with the clutch looking like it has finally decided to work and the Metro has finally made it back from the garage with a full MOT.
The plan now is to enter two events - the Bill Cammack Rally at the end of February in the Metro and the Phoenix Stages Rally at the end of March in the Mark II. Both events are at Manby, a venue that is well used but new to both myself and Clive.
The Metro still needs a bit of work doing on it - there are a few electrical gremlins that we're hoping to sort (basically by re-wiring parts of the car to find the faults!) and the wing is a mess from where the wheel fell off. We're also looking at whether we should be cutting the wing back a bit to give the wheel a bit more room, should we encounter any significant bumps and lumps. This will be carried out over the next few weeks hopefully. Failing that we will reverse cars and do the Bill Cammack Stages in the Escort and the Phoenix Stages in the Metro!
Many thanks to HT AUTO'S in Garforth. They have been a massive help in getting the Metro up and running whilst keeping the cost within reason and can be strongly recommended for all you automotive needs! We use them for our regular cars as well as our the rally cars and they've always done a good job. Give them a call on 0113 287 2081 and let them know where you saw their name so they know that sponsoring us is a good idea!
