Lekker event, nice to see some high speed stuff for a change - 120km/h just doesn't cut it anymore.

Hard lines bud, you tried hard, maybe a little too hard. Better luck next time.

Not yet unfortunately. As this event will be published in the magazine I need to wait for the layout to be done and then I can post some of the pics that will not be in the magazine.

Soon enough though.

There'll be a pic or two, don't worry.

The event coverage will be in the June issue (mid May on the shelves) as there's already a drift event in this upcoming issue (May - Mid April).
I'm including a piece on the car in the news, Jodi says it's for sale (as driven by Mr Sale - sorry, couldn't resist!).

I also have a pic or two of it reversing into it's own smoke! :P

I'll see if I can post a teaser pic or two for you guys.

Please refrain from using these for anything other than personal use. No posting on the net or emailing around please. I like my job, I'd hate to lose it.
