Some really good photo's there Pete, lovin' the Civic sarcasm and a classic group photo to round things up!
Well done to 9 E30's and 1 Civic for showing up

Cool pics.
The Civic isn't actually quite as mint as the pictures show, in real life there are one or two small blemishes. Nothing major, just trolley dings.
Still not bad power though, that's over 10bhp per 100cc, McLaren F1 style!
Great day it was, thanks once again Pete!

My old Civic made 450whp and 410ft/lbs and weighed 1920lbs.
Ahhh to hell with defending Honda I guess I gotta get used to the bashing if i'm on this site

All that time i spent blanking out everyone's number plates gone to waste then!
Dont suppose it matters really - does it?
Adam - can you please email me all your pics in full-size - and anyone else who took any. I need to collate them all to send to Performance BMW Magazine.

What's the best address to send it?
Mags never bother to blank out number plates. I wasn't going to spend 2 hours doing it. I don't think it's that big a deal unless you've got something exotic. No-ones gonna clone an old BM.
I have a video of the drift slag too but it's 160megs.

Excellent photos of a brilliant day!
Many thanks to Pete for organizing it, and for the no shows, you don't know what you missed.
Cheers,
John.

In a word, no. My fault - i just haven't got off my lazy arse and collated all the pics/graphs to send in. I did start it some time ago, but never got around to finishing it. I need to put together some words too descibing the day etc.
I'll take this as a welcome reminder and aim to do something about it over the coming week.
