 :4_17_5: Love Southampton pics, shame it isnt still around, seemed a mint track what with the containers in the background and all

Loving the 3rd pic with the Tech Plate and Tuff's... the No. 1 makes it so pro! :4_17_5:

It was far from mint Zac  :LolLolLolLol: 

The first speed jump and table top got tarmacked in the end. I still have a few scars from that track, sadly now the West Quay shopping centre car park. I did learn to drive there though as it had the Driver education centre within it's grounds.

A lot of people used to play on the straight track than run behind the track, anyone remember that ???????
