300's at BHP show, Lydden

Post by Attack2001 » 09 May 2012 09:54 pm

Just thought i'd let you all know, a few of the 300's from the south-east tagged along to the BHP show at lydden on monday. It would appear they seem to have been a big hit with the fans and another push for popularity for the 300 :D :D

Speedhunters did a piece on the show including a section on Dan Firmager and his awesome 160bhp, coilovered, 5 linked valver 340 showing the big boys how its done :twisted:

Christ, not bad! That last shot of the white 340 with the tyre off the rim is awesome. Goes to show you don't need much HP to drift, just big balls and mad skills.
