A few weeks back I got asked to provide the images for the MLR’s picture disc that they sell to the runners in their sprint. Those pics are wrapped up for now but I do have some pics from the paddock Ians MX5 was going very well! the only pic I got of it not going sideways lol Steve’s Evo IV, one of the many Evos he has owned This particular Mk2 Escort was powered by a Vauxhall C20 Xe, a combo which is super popular Willox’s traded his Evo for an all new Megane R26, he kept u

Went along to the MLR RR Charity day at Wallace Performance, was an excellent day out with some serious cars plus I got to scope out Wallace’s new premises. Highest BHP was Philyerboot’s Evo VI with 780bhp on E85 fuel, a fair amount of power for a “little” Evo LOL Lewis’s Evo V was rocking his new Volk TE37’s P33W33’s Evo 9 was looking good, unfortunately it had some fuelling issues, which didn’t help it produce the figures it should have Regional organiser Steve Donald’s Evo

Well where do i start ………………….. 5am?? yeah 5am Sunday morning my alarm goes and its time to get up. Get all my camera gear together and load it in to my Evo. Setting off out of Aberdeen I grabed some fuel then it was non stop to Edinburgh. The reason for waking up at this ungodly hour?? The MLR Sprint Series ……………….. An Evo onlyish Sprint Series run by the worlds largest Evo Forum, Cars attended from local areas and further a field some competitors driving 500 odd miles to go

Onto what i looked forward to most! Time attack has always been a draw for me, seeing extremly well prepared and extremly fast “tuner” cars go against the clock to find out whos the fastest! Within Time attack there are 2 classes Club and Pro, they pretty much speak for themselves lol but alot of different cars now enter time attack Strange seeing a Porsche being chased by a mega wide arch Pulsar lol Oldskool machinery was accounted for aswell! Along with some of the best Jap

In the first of 4 looks at Modified Live from Knockhill, we will have a look around the paddock and show car area. There were ALOT of high spec cars there, Robin d’s was out of the world once again!! The work put into this car is breathtaking!! unfortunatly it never made it out on Sunday Got wide arches??? lol this Pulsar certainly did!! Russ and Mike from Wallace Performance were out again in attack mode! and a 2nd and 3rd place in group was their reward ………… well done guys

Yes i was there along with the other members of http://www.jdmtas.com. But due to technical difficulties (my desktop computer finally died after 6 years) i havent been able to get you guys any pictures, until now. So for now here are 5 Pictures i have currently editied and the rest should follow VERY soon!

Onto the second part of my coverage from Banzai at Crail and to continue as i said yesterday with Monster Unit, a Glasgow based car club/group that will give any self respecting brand whore a run for their money!! Set up with Yumen Lai and Stevie Ho. Both well known in the scottish tuning scene, Yumen haviong own some of the cleanest most ouuta control hondas around and Stevie for having some of the best looking and tuned japanese metal north of the border. Other members of M

Pictures from SS6, not much to report here apart from being covered in 4″‘s of dust LOL #mlr #thacko #mintofruit #mint #granite #photography #jdmtas #jdm #international #aberdeen #rally #granitecity

Here is part one from this weekends Granite City Rally. This is pictures from SS1 Pitfiche, we had a taste of spainish style rallying on this stage too! A poor Vauxhall Nova made a last ditch attempt to counteract a nasty oversteer moment and happened to hit the nearest tree, rolling it onto its roof! Myself, Jay and Graeme had to help it back onto its wheels but it was the end for this particular Nova, shame really. Both the driver and navigator were OK so at least the rollc

A rare occasion i can tell you at this time of year, and of course myself and mint decided to take full advantage of it! We headed out to Inverurie for some parts needed for the Evo and had a mini touge battle on the way back, but as i have standard pads fitted just now the Evo didnt last very long in the twistys! Time for some Carbontech pads me thinks. #mlr #thacko #dori #mintofruit #club #mint #photography #bhp #drift #scotland #jdmtas #jdm #international #aberdeen #touge

Popped out to a friends garage today to see the progress on his Evo III. Colin has been building this particular Evo III for around 4 months. Having previously had to car at around 390bhp this year he decided he needed more power. Along with power upgrades the car has had a brake upgrade, KSport 8 pots at the front and K Sport 6 pots at the back. I personally cant wait to see it on the roads again (my poor III is lonely) and im sure it will go pretty well with a planned 520is

Here are my pictures from the latest Track Scotland day organized by Adam and Fee Kindness who own the site. The weather in a word was rubbish, fog and rain where the main concerns for the day but hey its Scotland we live in LOL. The day seemed to go without a hitch, no accidents and very little off considering the conditions was excellent. So onto the pictures and a few explanations lol. Basically i have started to charge for pictures from trackdays and such, it’s mainly due

Had the pleasure of being able to take photo’s of Martin Willox’s new car today. He is a well known person around the North East of Scotland for his driving ability and also having some of the nicest cars to grace the roads around here. Having previously owned an Evo X he couldnt bear to rip it apart for next years Sprint/Trackday season so bought this Evo VIII instead. The car is super clean and has some serious parts on it! The icing on the cake is that the engine was built

This weekend the MLR were invited along to a charity RR day at Wallace performance. I went along to get some snaps for “wastegate chatter” the official MLR members magazine. I delibratly didnt take any pics of the non Mitsubishi cars, a bit snobby on my part but tbh i went to shoot evo’s lol #mlr #thacko #mint #bhp #jdmtas #jdm #norris #sidc

Well for once the Evo came off the Touge and onto a full circuit. It felt amazing to drive along with the fact you knew noting was gonna be around you if u came off lol. Had a few good slides aswell. Mint has Video to come but for now here are the pics #timeattack #mlr #thacko #mintofruit #sprinting #mint #scotland #jdmtas #jdm #knockhill #trackday

Just back for the Trackday at knockhill. Thanks to Adam and Fee from Track Scotland for organising the day. Here are the few pics of other cars heading round the track at the same time as me. Pics by Mint, editing by Me. #mlr #thacko #mintofruit #mint #jdmtas #jdm #knockhill #touge #trackday
