A year in the world of MT...
14
.... here are a selection of pictures showing what we like to get up to on our travels on planet MT, these will be updated throughout the week as I've got over a 1,000 images to go through.
However, if you've got your own from MT events then add them to the thread so all newbies can see what we like to get up to :thumbup1:
MT trying out the Thor Hub Dyno for the first time...

The MINI's had their fair share of competitors at the Pod but rarely lost, especailly when piloted by Formula Palmer Audi Racer Adam Foster... Civic Type R... Done!
![]()
300bhp Focus ST.... Done!

And the person least likely to be addicted to the Pod on MT, Andrew (HyperActive) does his 60th odd run of the day :lol: and it's an absolute pearler giving him his best time so far.
![]()
But we always knew when to leave the big boys to get on with it, especially if Uncle Paul and his blue bottle weren't around :thumbup1:
