The Autosport Show at the NEC in Birmingham was a resounding success for Garage Whifbitz thanks largely to our sponsor Motul for allowing us to display the car on their stand. The stand itself was ideally located and received thousands of visitors with the car and the engine bay drawing the crowds in and getting photographed every few seconds by another passing admirer. Plenty of questions were asked and the car stood out well and drew large crowds over the 4 days. Thanks to all our current sponsors, Motul, K&N filters, AET Turbos, Triple T Services, Porterfield Brakes, Nitron Racing Shocks, APR Performance and Racepak who were well represented in terms of advertising on the car and we now look forward to the start of the Time Attack season in April.

Finally
got my AP's on. Had a nightmare with the supplier making them
correctly, I wont go into it all as it'll piss me off again! But
anyway, they are all on and look the business. The kit consists of AP
Pro 5000+ 6 pot race calipers with…
