Good to see so many older BMWs in good condition and still on the road.
Did anybody see the red 325i sport forsale in the section by the bogs, it seemed like it was made to be a sport, battery in the wrong place (under the bonnet), Tech 2 but had a tech 1 steering wheel and had lots of overspray and some runs in the paint work, it had a 2.7 bottom end and was after £3500

I doubt it was a coincidence that it was near the toilets........

It was nearly as bad as the completely hanging BK'd sterling silver sack of sh1t for 4k in the zone section ! :eek:

No-one. It was all drinking/farting/bumming/belching/felching and singing Jimmy Somerville songs around the camp fire.

Wasnt the tidiest of Sports and too expensive IMO, I sold my sport last year for £3k and it was a lot tidier.

Not many E34s there this year but more E28s, I reckon I should get a E28 535i next year.

My first run of the day was against the dude with this.


Image

He had a passenger with him too as we lined up, so I thought this will be easy meat, I did him off the line but he was coming past me by the 1/8 mile marker. Beat me by a couple of car lengths.

I insisted on asking what was under the bonnet after we pulled up for another run. It was rocking a SR20. Saw it on the rolling road later on, think it was putting down about 280bhp
