and talked him into arranging a BMWCC visit to his dealership.This he readily agreed to and this will take place on Wednesday 16 May 12,from 7pm.

BMWCC North Eastern branch extend a warm welcome to all E30zoner's,club membership is not a requirement to join us for this event.Steve Soper has promised us an evening to remember,among the highlights will be a talk by Steve relating his racing days with BMW,and we hope to see some of his cars on display in the showroom.

By train.... :D

I would suggest M62/M18/M180 to the A15,then south to Lincoln.

After you have passed the showground on your right,you will join the Lincoln bypass,(A46)turn right and follow the bypass right round to the south side of the city,turning left onto the A1434,first right between Maccie'ds and a pub brings you directly to Sopers.

Kelly mentioned feeding at Daimion's at 5pm,Daimion's is off the roundabout on the bypass marked Doddington to your right and Birchwood to your left,shares a site with a BP outlet.If you want to join this part of the party,let me know pronto so that Kelly can organize the feeder.Daimion's is a well respected American steakhouse type place.

I'll be leaving about 4ish 8)

Got a chap coming with me who was heavily involved with Ford RS in the 70/80's and has some cool stories himself. If you see him Andy, ask him about the Capri RS3100 story 8)

Well, that was excellent. In terms of the guided tour, one BMW dealership is like any other but the ex DTM cars were good to see and Steve gave a very good talk to us all - and stuck around until 10pm to talk to everyone individually.
Well done Malcolm and Kelly!
