[quote="martin-reyland"]PLease excuse the quality of the pictures, they are original photo's photographed with a digital camera.
Where it all started in late 1994



After returning from DJM it was time to start building it...








Can't find any more pics of the build but here's some though it's life..


At Donno, Dangerous on the left..





At a 0-100-0 day (can't remember which mag) with my old Skyline to the left. Cosmo did 0-60 in 3.8 that day


Was invited to have my car featured on a Men and Motors programme but this happened the day before :cry: They still filmed the car around the damage

At The Clarkson shoot, he's shaking my hand because his cars were wasted by a humble Mondeo..


De-tuned and ready to sell...


April 02 the car is sold but while he sorts the money out let's do just one more
track day, what could possibly go wrong..


That just about brings it up to where we are now..

Hang on so he sold the car to someone, then before the guy picked it up decided to do one more track day? uhmmmmmm...
Thats like me agreeing the sale of my car then taking it out one day and thrashing the arse of it before the guys pics it up.
