Already happening ;)

Hey guys, Great day out, waiting for the comments on the bonnet wrap... ;) was on the Clio197.net club stand this time. Managed to film my time on track, had a real blast with that Evo... overall I was a little surprised (don't know why..?!) at how the 200 performed, was such good fun...
