Yeah remarkably well considering it was sat on the driveway with no front subframe on it the weekend before we went!......and then I had to find a replacement expansion tank <24hours before we left!

11 Laps of the 'ring and a 20 min session of the GP track. Car performed beautifully and was much appreciated by everyone there....except all the slow 911s and Ferraris I had to barge out the way.

The carbon airbox soundtrack was especially popular with the spectators.

Well since I bought mine in December last year, it's sat outside my house and has hardly moved!!!

Just 1 or 2 more parts then the M50 will go in (but then I need some more parts before it actually drives!)

Here she is:

Parts needed:

M40/M20 ignition coil with high voltage lead

Sorry, I don't have any pictures of my touring doing 100+ on the autobahn.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......
