Stunning pics, build, spec and all round attention to detail Mike.

Ive followed you car for a long while now on Passionford and through various mags and if ever there was a more complete cossie it could only be Stian Hafsengens or Martin Hadlands. As road going cossies go.. yours is one of the finest examples out there by a mile.

Very very well done mate.. looking forward to seeing you at the Ring this year.

Best of luck with the build...

Frayz :D
