It was a choice tougher that a Little Chef Hash Brown. Some say these Tourings were made from genuine Hermann Goering steel anointed by angels. Some say Matt Black is the new B&Q non drip gloss. Yep, it's Top Touring Time. That's Touring people, t-o-u-r-i-n-g. Not Tourer, Toureg, Toremolinos or Tourniquet. Touring.

The leather clad Zone police have been mentally be stopping you and checking your papers. Step Forward Ste Nelson and Munky Munkyson - your papers are in order.

To the sad losers - it really didn't matter if your Touring was powered by a 1.6 litre M40 that wouldn't pull a randy dog off your Mum or a full house 3.5 M30 donk, we were delighted - nay enthralled - to see all those oh-so-superior Dingolfing Dog Carriers in all their glory. The only Touring here to house a hairy panting creature for an evening was Munky and the hairy creature was the owner. As for Ste's entry - what more could be said? It's not seen many Fridges in the carpetted loading bay for sure and Munky's Mrs' toothbrush has been the last of those BBS for a while.

The glittering prize of a month of full frontal exposure on â€ËaDa Zone' banner and the chance to win car of the year and appear in an e30zone calendar must be therefore shared. This prize includes a red carpet at the Ace Cafe Meets and a Ticker Tape Parade down Broadway. That's Broadway near Wantage by the way and you bring your own Ticker tape. And spectators.

The Billy Mill roundabout awaits you both..........

You Win Again was a 1987 song performed by the Bee Gees from their album E.S.P.; You Win Again

Or a 1952 song by Hank Williams ...

according to Google, I knew someone had done it, couldn't remember who...

Woohoo! Cheers chaps. 8) There's still a long way to go with her, but this is a really nice gesture and makes the hard work seem worthwhile.

I'd like to thank God, My Mum, the planetary alignment and all those hard Dingolfing workers.

More seriously I'd like to thank my Mrs for not completely doing her fruit as I started to disassemble yet another project on the driveway last year, Ian Haynes (Ian332isport) my uber-knowledgeable neighbour who tirelessly puts up with my constant earache and is a thoroughly generous and genuinely good bloke, my petrolhead next-door-neighbour Sean who doesn't mind pitching in and getting his hands dirty, my bro-in-law Neil who towed me up to BTB, Sal (M5Pilot) for the original donor car and for parts at the right prices, Buster for his machining work, Sandy (BigPimpin) for the oilfilter housing, Dameon (Oldskool2002) for the SI board and all the countless other people who've helped out along the way, apologies if I haven't mentioned you personally but I'm very aware this car has been a huge group effort and I appreciate all the help this community gives. Big up you all. 8)

Well done Ste. You deserve it. Your car thoroughly kicked ass at the Pod last weekend and looked super devine with those incredible wheels. A great car and a credit to you.

After all the work you put into her this is recognition you deserve.

:clap:

Well done Munky too. I can't wait until the new zone banner is made up for your two cars together 8)

Could have Total seal rings... Not sure 100% spec on the engine.

The compression ratio is 11:5:1.

He's using DTA... Which I'm pretty sure is standalone.
