Went to collect my baby this morning from Matt at BRUNTINGTHORPE. I was collected at 10am and couldn't drag myself away until after 3pm, what a fantastic day.

Firstly my car has been transformed. The new M400 linkage has really improved the change. It's much more positive and I am so glad I chose to do it. The addition of the LSD has also improved its handling. Matt has done a fantastic job and has taken alot of care with my car. His knowledge of the car is also over whelming.

Along the way the car had a new rear CAT, engine mounts, gearbox mounts, some oil feed pipes and some new wiring. Oh and a nice new rest on the centre tunnel to accompany the new tunnel carpet.

Before Matt would let me pay he insisted on me testing it out. So what do you do at BRUNTERS? Go round the VMAX track that's what!!! The car felt brilliant and I had some lovely sideways moments. The gear change whilst accelerating hard has improved so much it feels like another car. Also slightly quicker with the rear CAT sorted.

The best bit about blatting it around there was the chase car, Matt's Holden. Which he drifted at every opportunity. The the biggest surpise of the day. His dad taking me out in his XJ220, s**t hot motor that lick

After paying up and being a very happy chappy Matt took me around the infield track which was packed full of lovely motors. Then he proceeded to scare the f*** out of me in an Atom (Lost count of how many tyre destroying laps there were)and his Clio Cup. Mate he can drive fast!! And very sideways Tiff stylely.

Anyway at the end of the day my drive home was brilliant and I am so happy I had Matt do the job. His customer service was top class and he really looked after me on the price.

Matt if you read this thanks again mate. Also please thank your brother, dad and the track day team for a great day bow

Well I think I should stop typing now as I'm starving.

P.S. The beast is clean and ready for a blast tomorrow to Virgina Waters.

Paul, it was Matt WALTON who worked on my motor. His dad owns BRUNTINGTHORPE proving grounds. So the race track is his back yard.

What a lucky git!!
