I apologise for the 'standardness' of my car but the Evo2 replica kit I have ordered and planned to fit for this months competition is yet to be fitted and painted to match in 147 arctic white........... should be done for next month.......... For those who don't like 'arty' photo's being entered I decided to crop this photo so that the straight lines of the castle ruins atop the grassy bank juxtaposed against the imposing presence of the naturally rugged Welsh mountains are not in view.

I think you should do two next year, one of 'Performers' like Jeremy's, Rhysmangatmotorsport, Aaron_m, Jack Beckers, Bart707's and so forth, and.... one for more classic, almost stock, such as Sportline-Stu, Matth190, MICHAEL's and dare I say it, mine... There are lots of lovely examples, so you could even use 2 per month.... All those in favour, say "aye" Edited by Mike wantza Merc, Thu Oct 15, 2009 9:45 pm.

W201 Junky Posts: 2,538 Group: Members Member #1,576 Joined: August 5, 2007	So where would us modders fit in with this Performance and Stock Calenders? :/ I say leave it as is and just pick the best 12 over the course of the year, that way its fair and we don't have to buy 2 calenders for the same year
