Nice to see a good amount of the Ford boys coming down! Sounds like a lot of clubs are going tomorrow...!

We weren't going to bother but Specky wants to make sure his brakes work before Flame & Thunder

This was last week:

If it goes faster than 9.93 tomorrow you will see the best bit of fat lad happy dancing EVER

Your car is stupidly mental mate, what happened though when they refused you to run? seen you pop the bonnet up then next thing you did your run.
