I smiled for 90% of this video 😀 This idea exceeded my expectations, what a joy it was to have you part of our team and have you experience our creation. Me and the boys here are beyond devastated over the shifter linkage bolt. We will try to make it up to you someday... Hope to see everyone soon 🤙 Darren

Darren how about Jimmy shipping his ps13 to GroupD hq so you and the team can build him a pro spec car? Jimmy I think with the right sponsors you should go for FD Pro spec. Your talent has come on leaps and bounds and I am sure with the right amount of practice you WILL win!!
