Gutted I missed your cars at Brands. I was all poised to go but the wife thought it more important to take the kids out on a BH Mondayfrown

You could have cleaned it Tom! wink Lovely things and looking forward to seeing them in the flesh. Dad's new suspension worked to great effect at Cadwell by the way!

Excellent.

I remember watching that Macau race; IIRC the Watson's team also had a R32 Skyline in the same race against Zung Fu AMG 190E Evo II.

So the Watson car ran well at Anglesey lat weekend - We were really pleased to again capture a P3 finish on a maiden race outing. I am confident we will have all cars on the grid and taking race wins soon.

Only just seen this thanks to Chris Harris' thread about his m3 rally prep. These cars you have built are stunning. Any video?

Hi Tom, long time no speak. I stumbled across this thread, and what a thread !!. You have been a busy boy. Got to say the cars are lovely. I still have mine and may be looking for a little engine rebuild in the future, keeping it as a 2.3 though.

Great livery - Watson's are the Far East's answer to Boots the Chemists BTW.

The rate at which these are being churned out, I'll be surprised if there's a standard E30 M3 left in the UK by year's end!
