Yeah I did a couple 'with' e30zone. The 2009 date must have been the first one. I think there was a second one around 2011-2012? I still have the 205, its been molested more now. :)

Yeah I assume it got a new screen after your old man didnt shut the bonnet properly hahaha !

On the 2009 day there was you in the 205, me in 327i, Barry with his red S50, SA Dave with his M3 touring car rep and ther was an M30'd Touring too IIRC ??

Yes that was a good day! Was just talking to someone at work about it this morning.

That was Henry (Winx) in the M30 touring which is now M52B28 btw.

Believe it or not the screen didn't pop! If you remember the 205 integral bonnet catch just about caught it and saved the screen. It has aero catches these days to save that embarrassment! The good old days...

I thought it was Henry but the M52 threw me off.

Would love to do Brands but I'd need to do an airfield type day to get used to the car again, I've not used it for 3 years and its not the easiest thing to drive...

Jon I thought the screen popped but now you say that I remember that it didnt !

Being a passenger in Daves M3 that day was one of the best 'rides' I've ever had, that thing was bloody mental and he is a serious pilot !

A bit of a way off yet but I'll be out racing at Snetterton the weekend of the 19/20th of September if any one is local. I have done a diary for the races I have done at Donington (GP) and Brands Hatch (Indy) on my thread :)

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... &start=256

I need to do my B+E trailer licence, once that is sorted it should be a bit easier for me to be able to come and do the odd track day as well :)

If any one is ever up at Silverstone I only live round the corner :thumb:
