At long last the pics I promised! The two pics below are of the Escort Cossie I told you all about a month or so ago....

He had loads of gearbox problems with that one, despite running a low 325bhp setup. So he decided to buy another one with a good gearbox in it:

The engine in only a Stage 3 spec lump, not as good as the one in the blue one he already had which is WRC spec, but this new car has a brand new R&D gearbox in it and a few other new bits so the plan is to gut both cars, take the R&D 'box, hook it up to the WRC engine when it gets back from a rebuild (you'll notice it missing from the top pic) and then stick it into the better shelled car.

Well he might be able to, but he wouldn't be allowed to.

The competition rules state that cars can run no more than about 400bhp I think?
