No it's white and black, but he's spraying the white bits black.
He saw you outside Elphicks in Farnham the day after he picked his up.
It's Sids old one with the retard spec rear arches that have now thankfully been killed to death.
Should look awesome in the next couple of days.

Right guys, for a few weeks now i have been in talks with a company about a drift day up Thorney.
They currently hold "grip" training days... and are currently having to pull the plug on days due to lack of numbers (coming up winter seems to be the main reason....)
now- i have asked how much it would to... to hold a drift only day up there, they spoke of some figures, and possible ideas...
Now, the idea's....
1) need to mention due to health and safety bla bla bla it only will be, and will only ever be one out on track at a time :-(
2) track layouts...
a) a "play pen" simlar to pod... square area, few cones etc...
b) a track.... now, was thinking of doing a simular track to what it was when Modified Madness held an advent there (ill post a video when home....) reason why- because it worked
now- for this to work.... i will need:
a) 30 people @£50 a head..... need money up front...
b) happy for it to be held on a skool day (looking to be a Friday... maybe the 26/11/10)
c) need to proved are own tyre van
d) to keep cost's down- we will need to proved two marshall's (they can be proved @ an extra £150 EACH!
) must have previous experiance- prefered to be MSA Approved?
i feel it will be worth, im happy to take my time, and some of my own money to get a venue down South
happy to listen to overs ideas and opinions....
or to hear from anyone that would be happy to help me out in making sure this happens.
many thanks guys,
Clive

I did modified madness this year and the queue was getting absolutely ridiculous with the once up and back method before anyone else could get on the track, they started sending the cars off in pairs just to reduce the queue and get people some more seat time because it was beginning to suck, definitely a looped circuit would be better so that you can run cars with a timed gap. for this they would have to enter and exit the circuit at a different point obviously....
Semtex ran the last one, speak to him about how it might be improved...

this is what concerns me Si about the one only out on track...
2minutes "run time" a person...
thats one go every hour
but...
need to consider ~10 people will not want to progress from the "play pen"... certainly in the morning....
obviously... there is another way..............
£60 a head @ 25 cars
£70ish (getting strong now....) @ 20 cars.
for "me"/we/use... its a set fee to hire the day....
they will provide the cones
no helmets required (in there words: there will be nothing to crash into
)oh and tyre van.... will need to ring around to get some ideas....

if its run the same as the vid in the events section you dont want 2 cars half way round as it looks like there could be issues with a returning car and a leaving car on the dsame corner, even if hay bails are between them
ill come along to one and if it is bad ill try and help out for a while.
i guess it might be one of those tracks where they need to get used to us before they start letting twinning or trains out on track, unless its a insurance thing
would they let us do trains or 3 car attacks with helmets and a signature stating any damage or injuries are nothing to do with the track but soley the people running the event?

they was bloody firm on the one only out on track at a time rule
but- i can always ask what you have just mentioned
ill ask about possibility for a looped track- so as someone mentioned... one person goes as the other is half way around (butttt will be restricted by width:
