Simon McKinley The White Escort Mk2

[@alanwarner8489]

I've come home every night for the past seven years and watched The White Escort I & II and my wife's left me.

[@iceangel9006]

One of the BEST drivers i ve ever seen!

[@peterbalac1915]

Simon should have been sponsored by the council, he cut the grass and trimmed the hedges on his way round. Awesome driver up there with the best, RIP Simon gone way to soon but you memories live on ❤

[@ml7757]

Danke fürs Hochladen! Das ist das längste und beste Video das ich von diesem außergewöhnlichen Fahrer kenne. Unglaublich wie der mit dem Ford geflogen ist!

[@aswclassicsdorset1743]

what a driver he was, man and machine as one, RIP Simon McKinley

[@ManxAndy]

One Man....But two Legends.....👍🇮🇲

[@thedepot7416]

That’s got to be the best car control I have seen

[@adamweston4152]

The most incredible amazing driver who left us way too soon and one really well built and set up escort, does anyone know what happened to this car after Simon's passing away? I've watched this and other videos of him driving this car and everytime I watch I'm in awe of his car control... it's as if the car was an extension of his mind and body. thanks for the video.

[@egyptology22]

That was sad to read at the end. What a talent he was

[@likefatherlikeson6393]

Amazing to watch a bloke at the top of game, the song of the little Escort getting its balls ripped out, driver having a ball ... fantastic to watch ... etched in my memory ... cheers Simon

[@jermstaallen4913]

[@ManxAndy]

Simon used to run that Millington engined escort against open wheel cars in the Irish hill climb championship, he was top 3 regular, and occasionally won…..👍

[@4vepvik781]

Bloody good pilot in the white 'Scort Mk2!!.

[@mototurystyka]

Film sped up in editing by about 5%. why?

[@tommurphy9352]

yes its very annoying, absolutely no need it looks like benny hill or something

[@mr2cv1953]

Utter commitment.

[@johnmcrosin1746]

The best ever in a mk2 !

[@robleary3353]

That was the 'dogs wotsits!' Bril!, he really was running that car to the ragged edge and wringing that engine for everything it had!....

[@ashtonworth6288]

I don't think he could get anymore out of that MK2 even if he tried

[@MrGuvEuroman]

You used to steer them with the throttle pedal.

[@tommurphy9352]

why speed up the video? not as if it needed it ffs

[@inlimbo6019]

[@bugattieb110ss]

Fantastic with that Warrior Engine....and a conventional H pattern box iirc.

[@beardedmarshmallow5590]

Well that was a joy to watch anyway

[@silvereith]

Simon always gave 100%. As the late,great Frank Gardner would have said "He wasn't destined to die peacefully in bed."! We miss you Mr Door-handles First!
