Well lads

Got my first taste of track time in superdrift in february. Hooked from them on. Was using a bmw 325. the car ran great and planned on keeping it and over next winter planned on fitting a m3 evo engine and cage that would get it ready for the 2014 drifting season. He's afew pics of how the car went in watergrasshill.
