Red M3s? Common as muck, it would seem :P

Nice pictures. Liking the synchronised Zone car cleaning one winkeye

Great to meet new And familiar faces, and cheers to Adi for being the Zone bitch (bet Scrumpy wasn't impressed) and sorting out all our passes and tickets :D

P.S. Nail / tyre combo caused no issues on the way back. Cheers to Faz, Rav and Dips for your advice 8)

Some lovely 30's there today. Never knew they'd made so many red M3's!

Silver track 30 is really nice. Anyone know what gearbox it's running?

We even had a few 21's turn up and made it to double figures!

The orange E21 passed me on the way up. Very rapid and very minty. one of my favourite sections of the show.

there was a nice sebring one in the e30zone section and a mauritius one around....

what a great day for a 1st gaydon. great to meet everyone again and loved the red m3 collection (used to own a misano m3 cab....). there was one apparently with only only 500 miles!

some great cars in the show and shine....only wish we had some space on the tarmac as the zone turnout was really good with some nice cars!

There were alot of red and black M3s because the club arranged to get 66 of them together yesterday to take an aerial shot to recreate the launch press picture. In the end a few macau blues and silvers crept in but nevertheless an impressive number.

Was anyone disappointed with the location of stand parking ?

The main tarmac area to the right was full of scrap, yet all the good uns had dreadful parking in the sticks.

When we got there, we were asked if we wanted to park with the M3's - which we did, but driving down the main approach we were stopped and asked to park up, only the red M3's were allowed on the the tarmac areas WTF :?

I thought with it being the 25th anniversary of the M3 then all M3's should be together.

I don't think I will bother next year, I've seen enough for a few years :mad:
