^ It was only really finished a few weeks ago, so I doubt it. But hopefully in the future they might be able to give it a test

Looks awesome with all the signage

...that exhaust looks much smaller than I expected. What size pipe are you running? Single system yeah? I can only see one pipe.

Gentlemen.

What can i say.

Firstly. If you ever want to pay someone to build you a car, i'll give you BJ's number. Cranky old bastard built us a strong car out of the box.

We were invited to do a photoshoot alongside Jim Richards on the day before the event started. Media release for all over. Jim said it was the best looking racecar he had seen in a long time.

Head scrutineer said it was the best engineered car seen all year.

Mate, Thanks.

Secondly,

Dave. You are a legend and my wife wants to adopt you. BJ wants to marry you and is disappointed Glenn Ridge got you first !. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Without Dave's help and effort. We would not have had the result we did.

Mate, Thanks.

Datto and all the others who assisted to get the old girl to the line, again, Thanks.

I've said it once before and i'll say it again. Datto supports the forum with his knowledge and he needs you to support him. You all need pads sooner or later, send him the order.

Targa West 07.

Car finished Wednesday morning in time for scrutineering, wednesday night.

oops, knock off, part 2 shortly

[355LX]

Thanks to you guys for the opportunity, was a pleasure mate and just had an absolute ball the whole weekend! Now I've had a taste, I just can't wait for the next one!!!

Dave

PS: I assue you Glen and I will be very happy......
