Charlie

Well done on the 59.7 !! Fantastic runs from both you and Tim to crack the magic sub 60!

The green NA parked next to you belongs to Chris & Wendy our starters and has won many awards over the years, I think, and stand corrected, that it's a 1998 NA, one of the very last!

Monday has to be one of the most enjoyable track days I gave done and can't wait until the next, FULL day at Lakeside!! Only 54 days to go!! Going to see if I can get in contact with Mick who runs the black EVO with the orange alloys, he does sub 60's and to see you, Tim and Mick at it would be great! Mick was wandering around the pits Monday but he brought his Landcruiser with him!

If it's not sold, see you there!

Update.
So after three years or ownership, many different looks and uses along the way.. It is all about to end. I will be stripping back the car this weekend to a bare shell and selling everything off. I dont believe ill drive/own a car like this again, it was really awesome.

Full mag feature has just come out as well with the mx taking cover.

Image

Best thing to come about this car is the people i have met and the friends i have made.. its been a massive part of my life and has introduced me to some of my best mates and countless others. Through the ups and downs it always managed to make me smile. However im looking forward to a new project and will take everything ive learned from this car and put it into the next.

Is there an MX on the cover of Fast Fours? I was looking at the picture along the bottom of the cover...

Plenty of sexy photos plastered all over the internet though. They should last a fair while longer.

Memorable car, most forums have one or two. The first time I saw it in the flesh it was a huge WTF moment, upon a second look......still WTF. An awesome build and a credit to you. Well done, I hope the memories live on.
