Thanks mate :thumbs: Might have to lower it now but I have finished with modding :D

 

That works, thanks Buddy :clap::thumbs:

 

No probs, got there in the end :thumbs:

 

Yours is one heck of a good looking car too - the first 350 that caught my eye when looking through the old Wales meet photos before this time :thumbs: The silver on the grey really make it, along with wheels that really suit it B)

I`ll believe that when I see it ;)

 

Quote of the year G :#1:

 

 

+1 on that, even at Wales 2 mods were discussed, I seriously think Graham should finish the car before selling. Suspension would make the car look epic :thumbs:

I can't believe its over a week since Wales 2012 :scare: Its been really nice to see all the vids and pics that have been posted so far (DJtimo you are a legend!) and the very good comments towards the organisers for the effort to make this a massive success again :clap: .

Without being too repetitive I have to say a big thank you to Colins the rest of the team: Chris, Will, Darren, James just to name a few.

Historically i have been late to Wales and always spent just half a day but now i know what i have been missing.....suday in particular was epic. I will ensure that next year i do the whole weekend fri-Mon!

As always it was fun newer members who were doing Wales for their first time, just as it was to catch up with old friends and acquaintances. keith(maccaman) we missed you ;)

Congratulations to all and especially to the traders who supported the charity fundraising with very impressive goodies and hopefully we will do better next year.

 

I did not take loads of pics and focused my efforts on vids but the wind noise means they are worthless but here are the very few i took of the fast convoy :D

 

 

Thats me trying to cut you guys off enroute to the lake on saturday only to realise that this route was very narrow and tortuous....came accross only 1 car after over 1 hr of driving :scare:

The Old Barn Cafe crew at Lake Vyrnwy looked after us very well and even arranged the cover, but Chris (Atkin666) and Zoe braved the elements :cold:

2- get eibach camber / toe kits for the rear to sort the camber out

3- spacers, not worked out the size i want yet

4- roll rear arches

Bennett wasn't too far ahead of you guys, they could probably smell his exhaust still. :boxing:

 

Could do a best caption on this - mine:

 

"who farted?"

Matt, your car looked great in my rear view mirror on the evo triangle, definitely has presence. I liked it :thumbs:

 

Lifting it would be good though, i was cringing quite a bit as we went over those bumps and i could hear your lovely car hitting that road and ooooooo that cattle grid :blackeye:

 

Good luck with the plans
