Spax Performance sucks...

I realize they are the only game in town (kind of) but the customer service is terrible, their return policy is nothing short of illegal and you almost need to threaten them with bodily harm to get them to react in any way...
Just spouting off...

Someone noticed the plate finally. Very nice, the Escort belongs to John Mckissack from San Leandro. Funny story...I had a classic UK Ford mag at the house when I took the Cortina on it's maiden down the street voyage, John was at the house to witness the momentous occasion and there was an Escort o...

I am very aware of H/M, worked on the 69 Super Comp Mustang built by them back in the day..
I saw the same ID tag, it's just odd there's no published history. The car looks like a safari car, who knows if they really built them. I guess calling H/M would be the next step.

Holman Moody Cortina???

Anyone ever heard of one of these? Or if they are legit? Supposedly shipping container damaged, Ford shipped to H/M, tops cut off (they look like probably wagons), cages welded in...and they did what with them? Thanks

Hey Pete! I do remember talking with you...and I occasionally have dropped Mike a line to keep him updated..The ICSCC folks were a huge help, very friendly and willing to go out their way to help me unearth the history behind the car. They also got me in touch with the son of the gentleman who origi...

Life long Ford nut...now English Ford nut! Bought my early Mk1 Cortina from Mike Druin, who got the car from up North. It raced in the ICSCC for many years with many drivers. Started working on it in '09 and just completed it recently. Headed out to Thunderhill 1st week of June to test it out... Alt...
