I built the sc Clio this year, had some fun with that. Got my self a new job after doing the same stuff for the last 4 years, its the 25th biggest company in the world and in an industry that drives everything worldwide so hopefully secure for the rest of my days :agree:

Pretty quiet year tbh, suprisingly nobody's better'd my 374bhp clio since sep 10.:cry:

The only real big thing was leaving the RAF after 14 years and landing an awesome job as an offshore wind turbine technician. :)

No track days, either bike of car apart from a few laps at nat day in AndyRG's Clio.

Next years plans will see a new 500 Bhp Clio engine and a turbo on my GSXR 1000, aiming for 200mph on two wheels :D

My only highlight was getting the F7R turbo up and running and destroying the clutch after easily beating an Audi TTRS :D

Apart from that the rest of 2011 was ****, roll on 2012
