Hi
I'm Neil, sometimes known as Dad and even on the odd occasion by a few other
choice names.
As you may gather from this picture of me with one of my cars my hobby
is motorsport in general and Mk1 Escorts in particular. I have been both competing in and organizing motorsport events in Northern
Ireland since the late 1970's. Most of that time has been spent driving Mk1 Escorts
and the rest of it has been spent fixing them after my many "offs". The
Racing
Photos give a pictorial account
of some of my activities, dubious and otherwise over these past few years. The
HAVOC Stories
are articles about some of my
motorsport exploits that I have written for the Ford AVO Club's magazine, HAVOC,
then there's the Big
Bangs, well I'm sure that
no one could compete in around 25 motorsport events of one type or another every
year for almost twenty
years without a few crashes, bangs and wallops only I seem to be having a lot more than a few!
Maybe that's because middle age has now caught up with me. If you have a look at
the Escorts
you should find some of my favorite Escort photos, some of which I've taken
myself and a few that I've found here and there. I might even include the odd
non Escort photo if it's one I really like.
As you will read in the HAVOC
Stories I am currently semi-retired from rallying, I hope to make a return later
this year. To that end I am at the moment involved in a major rebuild of my rally car
and you can see our efforts in The
Rebuild. I have also included a page called Other
Cars and this has some other interesting photos that I have
taken or found, there may even be photos of Escorts taken at various shows as well
as some general interest car photos.
The latest page that I've added is titled Bits and
Pieces. This page is a collection of photos and information on many of those
rare or obscure bits that I've collected over many years of involvement in
motorsport. Also included are some things that I have bought over the years just
because I thought they were really nice bits of kit.
