    Good thanks, working in London at the moment so my spare time is non existent. I'll make a reappearance next year some time. Rocking about in an E60 M5 just now, highly entertaining. :)

    Hahah good to hear it Dunkz. Been a while man.
    Cheers Juicy, table works a TREAT!

    ANYWAY Let me tell you a story, The chaser is outside my work atm, so thats good news ;)

    [​IMG]

    Got home late from work last night after we helped some random dude out fix a flat tyre he had, poor lad was clueless it seemed lol.
    Got the chaser outside and took her to get aeros.

    Then headed off to Niks' to fit some gangsta wheels.. alas, we had to stop a fair few times to deal with arch rub :D HA.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Got to niks house and figured id check those wheels out, turned out that they arnt sitting flush with the hub,

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    So slipped on another 10mm spacer and dealt with it.. Did some skids, rolled the arches another 4/5 times and eventually at around midnight we gave it one more go with the pole at a petrol station and I headed off home.
    [​IMG]

    This morning I was up stupid AM and got a massive hammer out and smashed the crap out of my inner archs, and to my surprise it bloody worked! :D HA.
    Washed her this morning too.

    Apart from your car, is there any other decent car at your work - or are they all commuter boring econoboxes ?

    Photo overload..

    [​IMG] Night before skid weekend..

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Here was my bed on the friday night,

    [​IMG]

    Was actually fairly comfortable tbh considering. So that was that, we got there on time and got up bright and early for Saturdays matsuri..

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    The Chaser did not bad at all tbh.. The clutch is now dead again, that lasted a weekend ¬__¬' Also the exhaust repair needs more repair.. smashed my front bumper up too after it fell off whilst dirt dropping.. then me smashing it off track on my next lap round Bitches love smashed aero.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    The guys in the team did a brilliant job all weekend. Was real impressed with the team.

    [​IMG]

    Got to meet Lukas, Who was from Chicago. He was making a film and he secretly snuck this sticker on Bandana Boy.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    I then went out on Sat evening to hit up some shops for BBQ munch.. However I had a blow out on the motorway.. Which was SHIT!

    [​IMG]

    ^ Thats one of the front CST's that took the impact after we went into the ground and scraped along for a bit lol.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Then we left to go home..

    [​IMG]

    Then my front blew up again ! So had to swap wheels. >_>'''

    No I was running CST's up front, I swapped to my skid Works.. Which also died. Im now running some of Pete's 18's up front as im out of wheels :( Need to sort that out now. Same with clutch.. Sort of annoyed I spend £300 on a clutch that lasted 2 days. Tried to get it up into the garage and its making a shit noise now and shaking.
