Good man, many thanks - pinched it for a gash siggy pic already! Will find a nice photoshopper to do me a cool sig now

Dave's car sounded cool because he's running my old Mullit box!!! Worth it for the sound alone, although the fact they like 500 bhp helps too!

The funniest thing about that was Smit trying to imitate your accent after 10 + cans of Stella on Saturday night!

Even with fook all brakes your car looked awesome on track

Was nice to "kinda" meet you this weekend - I was the long haired lout hanging around with Nick Jamie and Dave towards the end of the day when you were speaking to them on the pit wall - saw your car (and your missus car? Grey RST?) go round - looked good!
