9:24 in the old 320i, mid 2007. The last lap of a long and awesome Sunday.

The 325i has gone quite a bit faster (a passenger timed me at 9:13, with roadworks), but video wasn't working last year :cry:

We need a track in jersey so badly. There is one place left in the island that is ok to make one, but it wont happen....

We have hill climbs, rallys, sprints/drags, motorcross and trails, but no track and so many fast cars! :cry:
go on one of the track days in france organised by the local guys? info on it on CICS.

should be doing the march one at loheac, would offer you a seat in my car, but its only got 2 and my passanger seat is booked ten times over
What's wrong with the kart track at St Brelade's :D

Note to self - check forum/email more often!

Toyo R888 205/50-15 tyres, FK automotive 40mm drop kit (£150 on eBay) and Ferodo DS2500 front pads (standard rear shoes).

Also had a single-box stainless exhaust, 325 throttle body with matched inlet manifold and 'Digi-Technik' chip.

Full interior including boot lining and spare wheel as the trip was a family holiday!

Learnt my lesson when timing a lap at the Ring. Crashed at Hatzenbach, and bent the beam tube on the 205.

My recent trip in August in the 205 was timed by a friend, but from the ticket gate to the back of the queue with a light passenger, 10mins10sec with yellow flag from Brunnchen to the start of Pflantzgarten (sp?).

205 is quite modified but still has road tyres.
