Just thought id put some pics of an M3 we have been working at recently:



and to prove i do work (or play battle ships with jamie....)

this car was built for Roland Ratzenberger (here) by bmw when he was driving for them. later it was owned by demon tweeks, who pushed it round their show room..... then our customer bought it to race, we have fitted engine management to it, geometery set up, dash and data logger (old pectel dash and logger has long since packed up) built him 3 diffs with altered ramp angles and different ratios.
awesome car, always in the top 3 recently.
has everything from air jacks to proper carbon fuel tank and filling system.
enjoy or abuse as necessary

Down to Halfords for some Ripseed and MOTORSPORT graphics.
Or maybe you could be ironic and get some STANDARDROADCARWITHASILLYSUNTRIP graphics.
