Definitely interested but will confirm closer to the time. Depends if the car is in getting more mods done.
Now with both the 411 bhp Supercharged Z3MR and a WRX STi Wagon getting a 3.4 litre transplant and an XKR with mods planned.

Fast is good, faster is better. Wheeeeee !!!

There are two wings so far because of numbers attending.

The route is a mixture of roads so the pace will be 'brisk' but not all 'blistering' so IMO suitable for everyone :wink:
