Here's mine, although not much Jap metal was pictured, I was far more interested in the wheels that would fit my G2 to be honest..

He did yeah, took a while to pull him out though, had to get a Merlo to lift the entire tyre wall up to drag his car out from underneath it..

The other RX had more camber than that Wes..

After 4 laps apparently, obviously rear though  :laugh:

I went yesterday and we got there at about 07.35 so no queuing for us, we were about 100 yds away as the drifter zigged when he should've zagged but it was a  really good day, plenty of trade stands and some really nice motors.

A few of the one's I liked.

This Scooby was Car Audio Security's demo car and it sounded absolutely amazing.

Brad's rx8 is just as awesome. It has my mates old rx7 engine in there with one whopping turbo  :evil:
