Really enjoyed the day with good mates and catching up with a few others too,

just think there should be more effort put in by the organisers to get moe competion cars there from varied championships because after seeing then 12th R35 gtr with virtually same spec as every other tuner its a little boring

Car of the show Gobstopper 2 had some really nice little details on it
nices women on a stand got to be Evo mag girls

Doubt the mk2s were on that reg. They were more than likely new build cars from Den Motorsport.

Gobstopper 2 pics on here if you have facebook http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...1859653&type=1
