Car looks stunning! 

Some great shots there too.

I have just booked to go to the ring in May! Can't wait 

[the bruce]

Thank you !!

If you could see this car these days you'd be afraid of all the mud and salt on it.
Looks really ugly after 1700 km ''Autobahn''. 

Let's talk about a small meeting in april or may at the ring. 


This one is worth every penny in the wintertime:

TT arms and the Whiteline ALK.  I will fit both this year.
