[Cook318IS]

1990 E30 318iS - 148.9 bhp @ 6000 rpm / 141.8 ft.lb @ 5000 rpm - i'm really chuffed with that!!

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Christ I'm still feeling sick.

Nice to meet you all when I wasn't in the car napping off the hangover or on the bog dumping more toxic waste.

Very happy my M20B28 made more power than the M52B28 thats put a smile on my face even the slow puncture and diff damage to my boot can't wipe off my face. Just text Adam to tell him how shes going and I think he wants her back.

What happened there mate?

[GrindCulture]

Did anyone count how many cars were there?

[Rosc0PColtrane]

It was a tad slippey. I took it nice and easy as there is only so far you can push your luck with naaaaaaankingkongs.

Any "diffing" in the galvanizer on your way home Jon?

No one made the diffing video

Diffin's too hardcore for vidz. CAnt let teh fuz no baut meh skilz

[march109]

I got a bit excited on part of the drive and heard a clunk. When I opened the boot at home it had vacated the box and left the shite it was cacked in all over the carpet and cracked my boot tidy.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Did anyone count how many cars were there?

About twelvty two and a half.


Must be close to 30 or more. Good day out!

188.7 bhp 6000rpm / 173.8 ft.lb 4500rpm

[march109]

[cuds]

Was my first zone meet but it wont be my last. Nice to see all of the cars & meet some of you. Still dont know who anyone was though (apart from Dave). A good day out. Had to shoot early. Had a phone call! Me tech 2 lazer blue touring (standard apart from a flat panel K&N and on 194k) put out 174.9bhp & 168.2ft/lb. No fan. Pleased with that.
And there wasn't any traffic heading to north Devon. Happy days.

Where the hell were you going on the way home!?

[Gortour]

Excellent day out, many thanks to Dave and Fritz's for organising the day - and the burger van, before Nathan comments... Found a few greasy roundabouts on the way home, back end went out about 5 times I think, all on roundabouts, thought nothing of it first time, second time wondered if I had a problem, but handled fine up the road...

My M40 auto turd made 112.9, so 2.1bph off the figures for brand new. Auto box too, so can't really complain.
Not got pictures uploaded yet, got em as far as the PC, now need to upload them to the Net... :yawn:

Many thanks again to Dave and Fritz's, 18 people put their money down for the Rolling Road today, so £90 donated to the Monsport fund. A very generous gesture Dave, much appreciated. Thank you.

Cheers all for a very enjoyable meet, hope to see you all again soon.

[Gortour]

Leaving now to meet Gareth at Tower Park.

2 hours to get to Yeovil???
Fook me, you are slow!!
Perhaps we should rename you James May??

Don't look at the Zone time posting, left home about 8.55. From the garage at Tower Park to your place was 50 minutes.
(Would have been quicker, but had to keep waiting for Gareth with the boat anchor under his bonnet... )

[12345kevin]

Had a great day chaps, even if the journey home was a "nightmare" 225 miles M5, M4, M25 .......


Car did well though.

218.3 BHP
206.1 Torque (ft 1bs)

It's all about the torque figure

[ShepsEvo3]

Some nice figures there.. nice to see all the 318is's making over standard power

[CHRISP]

Great day again some new faces and some good figs ,
Well done Dave you worked hard 18 RR all on your tod
and we still got a good run up on the blackdown hills interesting in the wet

Lets meet again soon.

[march109]

I'm finally feeling better if a little knackered.

[CHRISP]

I'm finally feeling better if a little knackered.

[march109]

Thanks, I did only get a few hours sleep last night, even the burger van lady said I looked ill and should go home.

[march109]

Oh and I must say, a suprisingly pleaseing lack of fog light usage on the cruise!

[gooner1]

Thanks, I did only get a few hours sleep last night, even the burger van lady said I looked ill and should go home.

Was that after or before the burger?

i hope everyone enjoyed themselves.

[eko]

You got home in one piece then Dave?

Another quality SouthWest meet.
Excellent turnout despite the weather being crap.
Think its time to upgrade my Asda homemake tyres,lethal in the wet doesnt come close
Gareth you dont know how tempted I was to leave your car on blocks while you were out cold,your wheels are porn
Did take my camera but once I saw Gordon and Nathan walking round with theirs I just chucked it back in the car.

Dartmoor meet next I think,possibly early September in hope that we get a late summer?

Thanks again to all who turned up especially Dave and Kevin and Ian who drove the width of the country

[Flozman]

Cheers Dave it was good fun, the downside is I crave more horsepower now!

[march109]

Gareth you dont know how tempted I was to leave your car on blocks while you were out cold,your wheels are porn

I clearly would have been oblivious even if I was awake at the time, I'm still suffering a bit today, don't feel sick but struggling to keep awake now.

Did you get my pm ok?

[Keg_gt]

damn missed this spent the weekend changing the hood on a pair of convertibles

[OBs]

I had a great laugh yesterday, nice to meet those I hadn't before...

'Respec to Ian and Kevin for traveling down to bumpkin land to meet us all

Sorry to Andy in the Evo (My arse nibbled a hole in the seat) at 160 racing Jays rice rocket, on the private road of coarse

Big thanks to Dave for making me grin from the minute we left Fritz to go to the pub, then the journey back to Tony's to look at my car Cheers mate, eventually finding grip at 80 in fourth on country roads is interesting

For those that didn't see the Alpina do its thing

I'm looking forward to the next one

Cheers guys

[Cook318IS]
