Jim Mensley used to be my neighbour (when I was a kid), and when he moved he'd already started on his awesome Honda Legend (I remember when the bare shell arrived from the dealership in Leicester and Mark started cutting it up in preparation for the new arches etc).

Jim also raced an awesome ex-Unser Camaro prior to the Honda Legend, and before that a Rover 3500. A former hot rod champion, he lost the sight of one eye in a garage accident, which cut short his career. I'll never forget travelling to Donington one day in his V6 Transit Van, as he slid it round the lanes with my dad hanging on with white knuckles



I am now hillclimbing against this Escort (we were out sprinting at MIRA yesterday where he was only 4 MPH quicker through the speed trap than me). Does anyone have any history on it? It was apparently in red/white/blue livery with a 700 HP Cossie Turbo, and now runs a Millington Diamond 2600cc engine on TB's.
