    After my friend Ethan has spent months helping me out do more and more on the channel its time I relayed the favour so he has bought a #salvage #bmw #m2 and we are going to attempt to rebuild it and take it to the Nurburgring in just 5 days which is going to push us to the limit on our capabilities.

    Hey Chris, wanted to congratulate you and everyone else on a really enjoyable, long, which I rather love, (particularly full builds)and productive episode of 'Slix'.
    The car looks and better still sounds sick!I'm relatively new to your channel but I've earmarked as a quality and rather slix, (excuse the pun) content creater.
    Big Props for that.
    Can I also add congrats on your lap attempts at the ring, I was also addYour lap of the ring was pretty good too, I was quite impressed and that's not often achieved to me lol.
    (I'm a former Driving instructor) I PRIORITISE SMOOTH driving as well as making progress when it's appropriate of course. 😉
    Mischa would never qualify as a British Driving instructor btw, those instructions he was "aiding "you with WERE more of a hindrance bless him.😊 (I do watch his channel too incidentally)
