Re: 325i sport v m3

Having both a M3 and a C2 2.7 its the M3 for me. The C2 is a bit of a boat in the handling department to the M3, but do agree on a long motorway trip the C2 comes into its own. Overall M 3 for me. End of day just, each to his own.

Re: Any convoys going santa pod on 28th

I will be going up early on Sunday morning but will be towing the M2 on the trailer so maybe a bit slow for a convoy.
Will most likely meet up with a BM powered Herald along the way.
Still two early in the week for final arrangements as yet.

I`m up for a run round Coombe again if any spaces left. Have sent a mail anyway.
