past experiences of car club meets has taught me that out of the dozens that put their names down on the list ,if 25% of them turn up its a good result but there was surely much more than that one in attendence?

I guess most of the zoner's cars where in the car park, theoretically only BMW Car Club members park down on the main arena... You'll find a lot of the visitors don't drag there butts in until lunch time, they were probably arriving as you were leaving.

I was there, when on the test track for a laugh and enjoyed it, got the car twitching on the long righthander.

Picked up 4 15inch bbs caps for £15. :)

Nice to see a few E30 M3 Evo sports

:cool: I think for next time there should be an issue of T-shirts :mad: so we can recognise whose of the Zone, but mainly get more advertisment for the zone for other E30 drivers.
But bought some goodies, came home and went to work on the car.Will post pics later.

alot of people i know are usually gaydon regulars said the weather looked abit iffy and felt it may not be good this year - i didnt go as i had a wedding to go to and my E30 is off the road at present -

I suppose we can all try again with Zone nametags/t shirts for the ultimate BMW show at Santa Pod in September.

As si says there was loads of us there but as before, this was a club event not a zoners meet.

Was a great day. I had a blast.

Who was the guy in the motorsport cab leaving about 4:30pm with the rear end COMPLETELY stoved in???!. What happened there?. PacerPete was in front of me in his UTE and we has to overtake the poor guy.

Plenty of zoners there.

Yea your the one i put down as the only one i met, didn't see or meet any other zoners though, but saw 2 cars with zone stickers, by the way everyone was going on, i thought it would be a large group with flying colours.
What was all this about pics for a backdrop for Gaydon????

Unless you come and introduce yourself we are none the wiser. it was common knowledge on the other thread that zoners were in the main e30 line up. if you came over and said hello it would have helped us identify you. There were 4 zoners cars parked together for one. Mine, The diddlers, Barrys and Si's C2.7 touring. You couldn't miss us. I had a zone sticker in. There was never going to be a Zone stand fying the colours. That was never going to happen.
