Email received from Ivan in November 2008:
My engines won National Tarmac championship in 1600 16v With a guy called Anthony Hand & 1600 8v with Aaron McQade both in Ford Escort Mk2. Michael Faloon was the man to beat in the forest in 1600 16v ( 210bhp kit). Jim McKenna upgraded his engine to we reckon about 230 bhp and came 3rd in his class in Tour of Mull. Also Adrian Hetherington & Vivian Hamill had many top 10 & best 2wd finishes with 2.0 16v 290 kit in forest. Russell Woods won his class in his new upgrade to 290 spec in a clubman tarmac rally. Mervyn Wedlock won a quarry cross event out right in 270 high torque 2.0 and finished 2nd overall about 10 months ago and so it goes on, will try to get you some pics.
