Yeah your secretary told us it will be a track slag!

But he did make money on the auction!

The car is fantastic

, all striped out and caged up, needs suspension and a few other bits and she will be perfect.

We are already on our third set of brakes and we do have a small oil leak but nothing that canÃƒ”š't be fixedÃƒ”šÃ¢â‚¬¦

I share the car with a friend (whose secretary did the bidding on ebay) so its far more cost effective in using the BM on track than our every day cars, although they do creep on to the track now and againÃƒ”šÃ¢â‚¬¦

How do you get to drive at dunsfold? not too far from me. Would like to see some action there !!!

Stig? anyone

Just as much fun and no computers to spoil the funÃƒ”šÃ¢â‚¬¦ Power wise there is big difference the Evo is running about 350 bhp with 360 lbft and the 911 is standard 320 bhp I think.

I did Dunsfold with the MLR, great day only got 4 runs but managed to get a 1:32 so well chuffed

Interesting! I figured id see the car again!

Didnt make anything on the auction Andrew, near enough broke even

Was preparing the car for the road so a bit of a shame but not like its my car anymore

Did u get much use out of those spare tyres i gave you?

Post Tue Nov 01, 2005 10:59 pm

We havenÃƒ”š't used the spare tyres but the T1s she came with are now our wet tyres and working very well I must say..

Both Richard and myself are well chuffed with the car and well worth every penny.

We even sold the interior and other bits back on ebay and made about 700 quid.

This may interest you..

Tracks best suited to that car I think......... With that power and RWD on the public roads.... you could never really have fun, but the tracks a diffrent matter!!

We will be back at Snetterton on the 20 November then a rest over the winter, just need to find some coilovers and some antiroll bars for next year and maybe upgrade the stoppers.

Always had a soft spot for the E30 if I sell the EVO next year I may try and find a really clean E30 M3 to play withÃƒ”šÃ¢â‚¬¦
