    I live in Brentwood

    In terms of other peoples comments:
    - Thanks for all the positive comments

    - In terms of newbies allowing longer serving members to drive their cars (I like your style though!)

    - Daz is the workshop manager at Whifbitz and a very good mechanic. We have put a lot of love into the Skyline and Supra respectively. The Skyline was a 4.5 grade auction car bought 3 years ago, it was then completely stripped and re-built from a bare shell using all new bolts, etc. This took 2 years.
