Post by: AdamR on 31 January 2011, 17:50: Don't think I saw you on track, but you were parked up just outside our garage (18) and I had a few good looks at the car, pretty awesome for the money and a cracking number plate :grin:

Edit: Just found a photo where you are right behind me, pretty sure you'll have come past me at some point in that case!
