Looks OK to me Ian although I would have thought it a bit of a waste of time sponsoring a rally car. They spend most of their life covered in mud and dirt don’t they so sponsors names are hard to see :lol1:

Hope you remembered to put your name underneath for when they flip it over 🙄

[Warren Beard]

Nice job mate, 😎

Unfortunately I’m a rally nut, I do a bit of navigating in rallies so although i know it doesn’t pay to sponsor, My head keeps convincing me other ways. :lol1:

Rallying is a big thing in Ireland, This car is 8 years old and still cost £168,000.00. Try driving it flat out down a road and have that figure in the back of your head, I’d be doing 10mph and cry if i hit it :lol1:

We do a lot of rally cars, i will post some more soon

Ian, nice work on the rally car, have a yellow mark 2 escort to do at the weekend, any ideas for a dynamic design for this? Dont want to do the normal. Pics would be good if you had any.

[Nigel Fraser]

Got your pm Harry, just waiting for Rob to sort out so I can reply to you! I have images of the side and roof for the mk2 if that’s any help?

[Harry Cleary]

Harry,

I love rallying in Mark 2’s but hate liverying them. there is very little you can do with them as the arches are usually very rough etc.
try http://www.crspics.com This is Seamus Coughains website and has some very tidy Mark 2’s on it.
the old Rothams changed slightly would work well on a M2.

I have tried to put modern designs on them but have never been happy with the results. old stlye suits best

PS. If doing a rally car, try to convince them not to put phone numbers on them,as they always turn out S**T looking. you can do something nice with a name but it’s impossible to do it with a number.

Thanks for those handy links Ian, you are right, there isnt much scope on the Mark 2 but my god, their owners think more of them than their children 😀 😀

😀 😀 they are quite a bunch, the guy who owns this car told me once that he was getting the baby taxed…..which was a none to subtle metaphor for it’s baptism!!!! and constantly refers to the ladies as having a fine chasis or pulling a big trailer!!! He’s quite the charmer 😀 😀

That was my customer said that, girls….not me!

[Ian Johnston]

I’m just outside Markethill if your ever stuck by the way. Were in Monaghan are you based
