Thanks to the Nurburgring, i have begun the slide........

Down a very slippery slope i swore never to tread again.....

Nice Standard looking Saff, pre ring trip....

After destroying the brakes in only 5mins at the ring, ive decided for the easter trip she needs some slight adjustments.....

Wheels:

Brakes.

So thanks to:
SevenEighths for the brakes

Martoon for the advice and the wheels

Rs Gus for the tyre choice

And Mike R for advice and the brakes that are on their way for teh rear

Roll on the ring

nice one stu, it certainly doesnt need more power but the brakes were shocking, and you need better tyres too of course!

See you in april

That looks really cool

I really like Saphires

Very nice car mate
