For several years I held the course record with my 450bhp Escort Cosworth, which was obviously considerably faster than the Nova!

As always, awesome progress Colin!.

Plus, the Nova looks like a proper weapon now it's carbon fibre clad on the front end :)

impressive....

I bet it was, but also i would have thought considerably more expensive to fix/work on?

Yes. That's why I went back to a Nova, although that isn't proving to be an awful lot cheaper!

That looks awesome, must build a car already lol Can you enter just for fun with a car that doesn't fit the tight regulations?

Yes, there are classes for roadgoing cars, and they run a 'Hillclimb School' where you can take your road car along and see if you enjoy it.

Really any websites?

That is one fast mini.

Re: Escort, definetly something Id like to build one day soon.
