More track time!! Git

The car looks superb mate, really superb. Probably one of the nicest assembled 36's that I have seen :notworthy:

It was funny, I'm sitting here compiling a shopping list for mine and then your pictures popped up as a new post! Given me a few ideas too

That is encouraging to hear :thumb: I hope to catch you guys up with your BM indulgence pretty soon, this year at least

There is something about the durable, abuse tolerant nature of the cars that appeals. I'd glady trade a few horsepower for something that endures sustained use on the tracks.
