FAST PROJECTS

Where did I drop
that lottery ticket?

T o m D a l e
Tom Dale

After last year’s epic battle, the
UK’s most famous detailing
duo are back for round two…
No sitting down on the job
So last season Tom’s R5 GTT build just pipped
Dale’s awesome W114 build. In our eyes they
were both winners, but this hasn’t stopped Dale
wanting his revenge. So they’re both back with
their new projects, and of course, we’re here to
document the builds. Again, the deadline for the

finished projects is Players Classic at Goodwood
on 20 June 2020. This might seem like an age

away, but when you find out what they’ve got
planned, there’s really not much time at all.
Let the battle commence… A well-earned cuppa
