Blatant free plug there for me lol

After the event was undecided what to do with it, but after a sunday at a prodrift event in fermoy my mind

was made up to build it into a specail machine and hopefully enter drifting events next year.

After about 5 mins research on the internet(yes i found a few pictures) the decision was made to sr the

monster

By pure luck i came across a burned 14a so the donations started
