Post a picture of your Fiesta ST as it sits right now!

Looks awesome! Did you used to run white terras?

Yeah! Still got them, still like them, just wanted to change for a bit.

Last pic I have of them on the car.

I've owned 3 great station wagons, 2 Fords and a Chevy (1970's type) in my time here but would never buy one of these expensive VW's!

Audi's are great cars. Have you ever owned one? Guessing no. There are no VW equivalents for many of the models. VW never offered a 3.0 TFSI in the states. One of the most durable and reliable motors I've ever owned. Running low 10's with a flash and Turbo DP upgrade and you can beat the shit out of it all day no worries? Works for me. Amazing machines for anyone who is just an enthusiast of fine engineering.

Very nice, our cars look similar, except that you actually clean your wheels and I don’t lol. What roof racks and roof basket do you have?

My FiST parked beside one of the company box trucks that I drive. Also, those Baja designs fog lights are ridiculous bright.

I washed my car Saturday and then forgot about that and drove down the only gravel road in Cary.

Where did you get the KB sticker?

Ironically, when he was campaigning the 'restomodded' Escort Cosworth RS in 2018, at NEFR (where he rolled it and burned it to the ground, almost setting the 7 Islands' woods on fire in the process on the stage between the two I was working that day), I handed his crew some commemorative Carl Merrill Maine Forest Rally stickers I had from way way back when (bought at that rally in 1999 when the great Stig Bloomqvist came over to drive said Escort Cossie as a tribute to Carl).

Carl shifted his last gear on that 7 speed FFD gearbox on the Prescott Forest Rally in October of 1998;

Six miles into the first stage of the Prescott Forest Rally driver Carl Merrill suffered cardiac arrest, causing the Ford Escort Cosworth he was driving to go off course and crash against a tree. Co- driver Lance Smith was slightly injured, but Merrill was no longer breathing when the car came to a stop. Competitors Dave White, Tony Takaori, and Joe Noyes administered emergency cardio-pulmonary resuscitation techniques until the medical team arrived. Takaori, who is a doctor in Japan, characterized Carl's pulse as "steady, but weak", and Merill and Smith were taken by helicopter to the Yavapai Regional Medical Center in Prescott.

While Smith was taken for precautionary chest x-ray exams, and considered out of risk, Merrill's heart attack made him be listed in critical condition and, despite all medical care he received, he died the next morning. After a request by Carl's family, the rally was resumed.

Carl Merrill was unanimously admired throughout the North American rally community. At the end of the 1998 season Frank and Dan Sprongl only needed to start the Lake Superior Pro Rally to clench their third North American Rally Cup, but they withdrawn their entry as a tribute to Merrill, of whom Sprongl were close friends, and Carl therefore became the 1998 North American Rally Champion. Merrill had taken part in all events - both in the United States as well as in Canada - of the Michelin SCCA PRO Rally Championship from 1996 until the 1998 Prescott Forest Rally, always with his Ford Escort Cosworth sporting variations of its famous lavender-colored livery. In this period Merrill won twice the American title and was crowned Canadian national champion in 1996.

Merrill’s character was reflected not only on rally stages - where he was a competent and fair driver - but also off them. A wealthy man, he often made anonymous donations to support the careers of drivers that, otherwise, would be unable to compete. Similarly, members of the Ojibwe Rally committee believe Merrill always entered late just so he would have to pay a higher entry fee - and, this way, provide additional support to the event.

He was a resident of Ogunquit, ME, United States.

Thanks for the story!

I was at Tail of the Dragon this past Wednesday!!! What a blast.

 

[Sam4]

Do you know where you where on the map? Just an idle question, not headed south this morning!

 

[Nitelife]

@Sam4 I was all over the map on this trip. WV60 was another favorite on the way down. We ended up staying at Cherokee Casino the night before, just to have access to amenities. There are motels everywhere but never can be sure how the rooms are going to be or what eating establishments are available. We woke up at 6:30 and took 74 to 28 and arrived at Deals Gap around 8:30. BTW 28 (Moonshiner) is a fantastic drive in it's own right!! We made three passes that morning; by the third pass there were a lot of enthusiasts showing up and also there was a cop handing out tickets. I came in hot on him writing someone a ticket and he certainly wasn't very pleased. Anyways on the map above we arrived at "Crossroads of Time" where there are two gift shops. There is a gas station with only 93 in the pumps, airhose, they also have a great assortment of performance oils, saftey equipment for motorcyclists. My only advice is get there early before the crowds and police show up.

Thankfully that picture doesn’t show it too bad but it’s dirty enough that you’d be forgiven for thinking I actually used it in a rally lol

Probably my favorite mod, with the led’s definitely can see better and looks so slick. You should definitely install them!
