Default Dono Today....
NMS Ford crew running proud...

My mk2 at 22psi still had nothing to compete with, even the R8 was easy to real in...

Oli @ 1bar was flying against the lambo's

Very pleased with the car and putting it against ferrari's, porkers, lambos and loads of audi's etc...Nothing came past me

Awesome day and can't thank NMS enough for the work done over the last 6 months...car has never been so good.



Black flagged for noise and kicked off though LOL

Linsay then took my place and put in a good performance for her 210bhp rst

Car is acting on track like a 560bhp car, not a 450 one

Big thanks to Dingy and C10SSE for the day at Dono

Took my car as support with dingles slicks in we thought he was gonna be on the limit for noise, so could get a go round the track in mine

didn't do bad for 210 bhp fooker i overtook summat and stayed in front

Brad and Podge in the xr4x4's were still the best passenger laps ever - we did ferrari's and aston's

Took a couple of pics but only on my phone











BBQ'd on track

Yep, Dingy's car was 'officially retired' after a couple of sessions and even Oli's was black flagged for noise, which i don't think it has been before
Think they were being very strict on it
