Best FPV I have seen to date and it only had the 18's too, the 19's look a whole heap better again!

I went passed new oaks with my little bro, he wants a Turbo too, and I was quite impressed with the BF's. They seemed better screwed together (I was I imaging things?) and the shift feel is enough to want me to trade mine in. Yeah right, if they ever made a stand 420 kw car I would consider it, in the mean time im going for a drive...
