Testing is CHEATING Craig, you to have had more track time in a month than the rest of us all year :o

Would love to, but I cant do another season with 94bhp so money must be saved for engine rebuild :(

May pop over for a butchers with Rob

Jimmy, would be nice to see you both since my work shifts have meant I've not been able to come with Neil to any pbmwc this year, I'm hoping to be at the Meldrew to support Neil, but I am expecting a baby (well the missus is) in a few days, so I dunno if i'll make it...

It's a trackday Jimmy, no one times at trackdays!? :wink:

craig testing will gain you more lap speed than engines etc!!!so get out there as much as you can , you learn more on a track day than you will on a raceday! good luck with the baby !

p.s the cars looking good winkeye

I`m going with the track car to give it a run before winter and hopefully it will be a dry day for a change, but will still bring the wets just in case.

Car no 69 come and say hello.

Hope to also see some of the usual lads there as well.

God knows exactly how much lower it is than standard. The car is on full Gaz coilovers and the series TOYO's are 195/50R15 which lowers the car a little more too.

after

Going by that, I'd say between 4 and 5 inches in total.

Kirby,

Its now yours, consider it a gift, you need it more than I do.

Good day out, came home in one piece, bit of fuel starvation but will soon sort that out.

Loads of E30 M3`s out to play as well which was nice to see.

Cheers,

Dave

did someone have a map of the circuit going? i was trying to find my way round but could'nt see anything cos all i could see was clouds of white smoke from the back of a lairy red M3. Funny i could'nt see the persons head driving though. It must have been a kid!
Then i had to keep avoiding all of the empty gearbox oil containers falling from the back of it!
