Seems alot of folk are seeing the light lately!

I found my fiesta frustrating on track. I kept piling money in but stopped having fun!! Awesome in a straight line but hard work on the bends.

I'll be lookin for a track prepped 205 as a replacement until my numbers come up and I'll have an Ultima!

Was a good day...

Had a few issues with the car, but sorted most of them..

Cracked the breather pipe on my head but aside from that the car ran sweet...

Hammered everything in our session LOL....

The rex even took to the grass and had a spin, hey linsay but to be fair i think the brakes have some serious issues after lee took it out and broke it
