Simon should have been sponsored by the council, he cut the grass and trimmed the hedges on his way round. Awesome driver up there with the best, RIP Simon gone way to soon but you memories live on ❤
Danke fürs Hochladen! Das ist das längste und beste Video das ich von diesem außergewöhnlichen Fahrer kenne. Unglaublich wie der mit dem Ford geflogen ist!
The most incredible amazing driver who left us way too soon and one really well built and set up escort, does anyone know what happened to this car after Simon's passing away? I've watched this and other videos of him driving this car and everytime I watch I'm in awe of his car control... it's as if the car was an extension of his mind and body. thanks for the video.
Amazing to watch a bloke at the top of game, the song of the little Escort getting its balls ripped out, driver having a ball ... fantastic to watch ... etched in my memory ... cheers Simon
Simon always gave 100%. As the late,great Frank Gardner would have said "He wasn't destined to die peacefully in bed."! We miss you Mr Door-handles First!
Simon used to run that Millington engined escort against open wheel cars in the Irish hill climb championship, he was top 3 regular, and occasionally won…..👍

Awesome, how an Escort should be driven. R.I.P.
Sorry for my ignorance, what happened to him?
@@R3201-j1c He died when he crashed his lant single seater on a hill climb.
The man!!! I wish I could be sitting next to him, I’ve never seen anyone drive an esky like that! Rip
That’s got to be the best car control I have seen
One Man....But two Legends.....👍🇮🇲
That was sad to read at the end. What a talent he was
Someone knows the road well. Really impressive suspension set up too.
WOW, fuckin' WOW...
He is amazing! None of those ’Opel Kadett C Coupe Drivers’ I've seen, would have a chance!
this video is the answer to the question "what do you mean by 'on the raggedy edge'?"

What a driver... Pushed that mk2 to its absolute limit
I don't think he could get anymore out of that MK2 even if he tried
Amazing car! Incredible pilot!!!

Hes putting that suspension through a career in one race!
That was the 'dogs wotsits!' Bril!, he really was running that car to the ragged edge and wringing that engine for everything it had!....

Et il était tout seul, le mec... Fantastique !!!
best Driver all Times Worldwide R.I.P.
Well that was a joy to watch anyway
Talk about ringing its neck!! That's some driving most of us dream of when busting for the loo..
You used to steer them with the throttle pedal.
That was bonkers!
Film sped up in editing by about 5%. why?
yes its very annoying, absolutely no need it looks like benny hill or something
What a driver! Yet he died when his car went out of control. Great driver.
Legend. Rip.
