Did anyone see the crash one way home by land rover dealer near MK cant remember name of road but there was sumthing upside down on other side of road looked like he tried to take island bit to fast and lost it ,hope noone off zone involved and every one ok police and ambo were there when we went past

They closed the bottom of the A509, didn't get anywhere near the M1. Thank god for sat nav, fired me over to the A1. Only for some pillock in a shitron feel its his god given right to drive up my tailpipe. I wanted to tell him to Foxtrot Oscar nail the loud pedal and be gone, but traffic was too heavy, I let him pass, he can be someone elses accident.

to true although a few people came without there cars .did anyone see the crash one way home by land rover dealer near MK cant remember name of road but there was sumthing upside down on other side of road looked like he tried to take island bit to fast and lost it ,hope noone off zone involved and every one ok police and ambo were there when we went past

Looked like a new 6 series convertible to me, windscreen crushed and laying on the door tops, with the amount of police and not one of them near the car, I would say they didn't get out !! Not sure how they managed to turn it over so close to a junction, couldn't have been a lot of speed.

Lovely car Josh, had a good look around it and took a look in your book,
very very nice

[Joe-318i]

was a very good meet, had a nice day out, some really nice E30's
took just under 3 and half hours to get home traffic was mad, but was worth it

I didn't look in the book but had a good look round the car. Really nice

[Jon_Bmw]

Good weekend. Good to see the usual scummers and meet some more

Enjoyed watching the drifting for a while as well. Karan is obviously a hero. Didn't recognise any others e30s that were drifitng as zone cars. Didn't see you MJG as I didn't go over till late.

Very tired and sunburnt as always.

Who ran the best time then? Thanfully I left at about 4 I think and missed the drama near the m1.

[Cotty]

Who ran the best time then? .

Still waiting for them to post their times

I'm 99% sure James' 12.9 didn't get beaten. Mosnter car that he has there, 450hp in a hearse

[Pyros]

i just wished i had spoken to more people while i was there still dont know many people from the forum

[bss325i]

The best i did was a 13.6.

[Andyboy]

So much council scum today. Good piss up last night as well.

If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain...

1st Pod for me,my mate couldn't make it so I was Billy no mates.Thanks to the mods for the organisation.Good to put a few faces to names(Beardymat,Cliffy)Personlly I would have liked to have seen a few more pre E30 cars about but I guess its not their bag.Which is the best meet for a better cross section of older cars? Quite bizarre to walk around the Pod at 9am listening to Lemon Jelly playing over the Tannoy.My Favourite car on the zone section would have to be Beardymats,certainly seemed to be a crowd favourite too.Sunburnt my face too,not very clever Trevor.

[Felix79]

This is the 1st meet I managed to do since I started having big problems with my pathetic excuse of a back. I had a bloody brilliant time. I am so glad it was before a payday because there was sooo many goodie to buy I would have spunkd my paypacket instantly.

I think the zone section was amazing well done to all who set it up. Was so many E30's was justa shame there was hardly any E30 M3's

[Asserti]

It was great fun to meet with the zone guys! Hopefully see ya next year

[SamiS]

You guys had some good cars on your stand! Still love the E30's.

I was wondering if anyone knows about the car that was on its roof by the petrol station outside Santa pod?

Looked like a E30 M3, but we were just driving past and I was trying to avoid all the stopped cars

[E30BeemerLad]

Well done to the lads from Belguim for making the trip over, credit to you

friend of mine got some pics of it. Will post them later on

Is that in response to me, RE: the car on its roof?

If so, do you know if the people were ok, etc.

[Andyboy]

If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape.


Fukcing class!!

No idea, police was blocking the road, but no instructions on how to drive, and our gps brought us every time back to the accident :p

It was no E30 though..

From an other forum

Sadly i have an update on the accident...



A man died in a road accident near the Tickford roundabout in Newport Pagnell yesterday (Sunday) afternoon.

The man was in a BMW convertible with one male passenger when it turned upside down during the crash.

An air ambulance took the seriously injured passenger to hospital while the driver of the BMW died at the scene.

A second car, a Peugeot 206, was also involved. Both men from that car were injured and taken to hospital.

A Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesman said emergency workers put up a screen to keep the scene private from onlookers.

"It was a very serious incident," he said. "Crews from Newport Pagnell and Broughton worked extremely well in very difficult circumstances.

"Police have started a full investigation into the crash and until that is completed we are unable to say how it happened."

Police want to hear from anyone who was in the area when the crash happened - at about 3pm. They can be contacted on 0845 8 505 505.

Looks like Kevin was right

[snooka]

I noticed a fair few cars on the ditch outside the track witht he RAC break down VAns all around. I think a few people have screwed their cars up and got them pushed on a public road and claimed they were not racing.

For the two of us from Oxford we hit some very heavy traffic around northampton part of the M40. I had heard that a couple of Bimmers had crashed later on last night.

BTW did anyone else get burnt? Every boody meeting I go to bar the guilford meet I get burnt like a lobster

[reggiesbabe]

I was wearing sun block and was still burnt my nose is so red i'm stopping traffic the rest is a nice brown.
I would have stripped just for you snooka but it was toooooooo cooooooooold.
Nice to see the boys from billing again and the king of the bbq was on top form.
Great to meet new people but the camping gear is def away until warmer weather.

[Felix79]

have to admit was a great way to end the show season off.

Well time to find a winter E30 while the cabbys it kept wrapped noce and warm.

[bene30jane]

good weekend, enjoyed myself again same as last year.... i ran a 17.1 was too hot though times just kept getting slower, could have been me though lol.... hope all had a good weekend?.... drifting was good to watch, wanting to get a drift e30 now, anyone on the zone drifting up there?....

[d6dph]

Karan was drifting his E34 M5 powered IS. And a mighty fine job of it he was doing if I may say so.

He won't be a true drift king until he has more zip ties though
