Stevo

Good to catch up with you again yesterday Nik sorry it was a bit rushed but I had had a fairly long day,  I can post my pictures of the damage now the show has aired (hopefully below)
Did the pics you took not come out too well?
 

Accidentally finding one of three 'musical' roads in Japan.    A bit of a shock this one!   

I manage the Toyota GB press workshop. Its a long story but I did work for TGB in their technical centre then chose to take voluntary redundancy from them but now work for another company as a sub contractor to them. Thats the short version lol.
 
My role on that day was just technical support. Although I was asked to be a stand in for Idris at one point in some of the action shots - I think you can see the resemblance can't you?
 
Day to day we just make sure all the cars are "right" before they go out to journalists. The historic fleet is kept here too which we maintain too.

I met a few of you guys on Sunday and signed up and have posted in a couple of threads but realised I haven't said hello yet.

I don't own a GT/BRZ but will certainly be considering it once the prices get to a sensible level. I have a lot of history with Subaru as well as Toyota so it would be a no brainer.

Here's a picture of my current toy


 
It's a Westfield Megabusa, 528 kilos and just shy of 180 bhp. Built by me at our old workshop with a few mods during the process.

It's now got a decat exhaust,flatshifter expert and I remapped the ecu.

I'm hoping that we can bring some of the more interesting cars from work out to a local meet in the near future. I will keep an eye on the meets section.

One final photo that I'm sure you will appreciate - taken last year whilst filming the Idris Elba program that was on C4.
 

And yes I did get to sit next to him whilst he was doing some drifting. Absolute master class in car control!
 
 
 
Edit to resize pictures and reorientate correctly - doh!

Cheers, Stevo, some more to come when I get home and back to fast broadband, I'll get all the 86 day at Fuji Style uploaded, I've got 400 hundred to sort out!

Just read all of your blog. Fantastic stuff!

Enjoy the rest of the trip

It was a pleasure to meet you guys today. I didn't realise that the club had a pitch or I am sure we would have come over and said hello ourselves.

Good to see that people are modding the cars too. I did like the supercharger and turbo versions.

Hope to see you all at a future event
