Thank you guys so much for interviewing Frank Kelly! One of my top favorite drivers. You hoonigans are awesome.
@Bob-Jenkins4 жыл бұрын
Frank Kelly would have to be one of my favourite drivers. Humble and a man who must be carrying around a huge set of bollocks. His Escort - Baby Blue - has one of the dare-I-say sexiest engine sounds in existence, and his daughter is his co-driver. I'm telling you stuff you already know, so instead I'd like to say thanks for posting that comment otherwise I may have skipped this without ever knowing that interview existed. 👍 My only complaint is that during the interview the dude had his paw leaning on the car - 'admire and respect, but please don't touch' is a sign I'd always sit under one of the wiper blades during car shows.

When I was in my teens you could by a rusty MOT fail MK1 or Mk2 escort for less than £50 (there were fkn loads of 'em) - or you could buy a good one with 6 months TAX & MOT for a couple hundred quid. The best of the bunch would often find their 1.3 ripped out and replaced with 2.0 pinto from a £50 cortina. So many of them got crashed, abandoned, pushed off cliffs, dumped in the forest, burned, some even went for a permanent deep dive in a flooded limestone quarry. You can add a number of Mk1 fiestas and minis to the list too. Them were the days....Oh, if only we knew...
