With all this talk of the FBS event on the 21st of august, its got me thinking - as much as i like the level i've got the astra too, i miss the fun i used to have with my old scirocco.

See the rocco was the exact opposite of the Astra; stock on the outside but very sorted chassis wise. Fully polybushed, strut brace galore and koni adjustables with eibach springs, i loved the way it handled, i could push it hard round corners…

There is never a dull moment in FT life at present and tbh thats how we like it, This past sunday saw me getting up the wrong side of midday to make my way over to north london way to meet up with Paps, JD and Belinda for a pub lunch and then a small photoshoot.

Anyway you'll be sure to see the proper pictures from Paps sometime soon, for now i'll just leave you with…

Rico Rally were at Big Jam 2011 this weekend, fortunately arriving early on Friday before the debacle of the gate closing due to overcrowding.

When we talk street sleepers, we're not talking bums or tramps. Have no fear, we're not going to start running soup kitchens anytime soon. We're talking stock looking cars with something a little naughty under the hood, the type of car that would serve you a stone-cold portion of whoop-ass should you take its bait. At the latest Fast 5 Media Day this cheeky little number rocked up for a day of draggin' and slaggin'.

So Ive finally got the sx and the first thing that had to be done was get the turbo fixed because it was rather stuffed :(. So that came out with a mission but it came out sadly i made more work for my self cause the exhaust manifold wasn't tight so took that off as well no biggie though. I check the manifold and found a random crack inside the manifold dunno if that's going to be a problem hope not though and also found where the oil leak is coming from. So the…

Sup Guys its been a while been stuck under the sx's bonnet most of the time hahaha.

Alright, so we've been making waves all over West London and not to blow our own trumpet but we've become known enough within the car world to become something of a recognised name over this side of the big L. So what now? Well James gave me an add on facebook and dropped me a message and some texts were exchanged which led to me agreeing to get up on here and making the West London Collective group. …
