there was a red 325 sport for sale looked very tidy

[calipsodream]

went with bobs and some others from wrexham good day bit sun burnt now tho lol

[Kos]

i though it was better than last year, more open because cars were not sqeezed in and the overall quality of cars was very good

i fell in love with a B7 alpina e24, simply stunning i belive it will be in TBMW pretty soon.

trade stands were the usual crap, but they came in usefull, i picked up a bargin !! i was surpried to see SSD motorsport selling tacky fake crap.

it was nice to catch up with a few people, C76 jon i'll be in contact soon, daryl it was a good chatting to you and your mate. jaimie , we'll find you a nice base car for your project

good work by trevor and barry on the marshaling


over all a good day out.

[Cabrio]

What was your bargain then....what did I miss !!

[Kos]

What was your bargain then....what did I miss !!

VDO guages, temp ( external or intake temp ), clock, and oil tep from a ZM coupe i belive £25

no senders but still well worth it in my opinion

[eko]

Just got back home now!
Fooking long day but definately worth the effort.
Some stunning cars present.Weather was glorious.
All in all a well organised day and ill definately be back next year

[Cabrio]

Some good stuff on some of the stands...depends if you want new or used...difficult to everyone to come and the show tries to change each year and encourage more people and different traders if need be I think

[evilbemer]

Yeh second that eko good day and top weather to drop the roof nice to put faces to names.Got to see some really nice e30 cabs good work people!!!!!!

[tomtomiS]

i enjoyed the day, picked up a few bits too, namely a bonnet roundel for the 2dr and a central locking relay with interior light delay on it, but neither seem to be working. doh! big thanks to simon13 for the ride there and back

[E30Mark]

Great day out, Sunburn is a bonus kept slapping on the cream but still look like a lobster

Some wonderful (and not so wonderful...) chariots about, one year i must walk up to the top public car park and see who / what is parked up there.

Great to meet the usual inmates, plus a few new faces don't expect me to remember your names, as i've live with my girl for 8 years and still get her name wrong from time to time

[jonmsm]

was a good day... I got some cool way home pics too...






also, some of my personal fav pictures...


Thanks to someone random with a carbon fiber bonnet on their e30


tiny little eeny weeny dish...

[Bob_S]

Yep I went with andy, had a good day bar the sunburn and being fobbed off with an lsd

[Cabrio]

How were you fobbed off with an LSD isnt that a good thing!

[paulg390]

My first Gaydon - and I thought it was excellent (the sun helped) a good mix of different cars of a high standard and some absolute stunners.. showing my advancing years here, as my favoruite was the e32 B12 Twin Turbo...
Big thanks to Dips and Kos for getting us a prime spot (proving there are other benefits of getting Dips to work on your car) ....
Having seen the neat install on the green touring on the PBMW stand we are now saving up for the Supercharger to go with the NOS kit !

Guess who'll be fitting it.... just so I can get a good spot again next year

lol ,you are welcomed,
hope you enjoyed it

[miniblob]

Absolutely gutted i missed this

Didn't even know it was happening!!!!!!!

[B7]

good work by trevor and barry on the marshaling

Cheers kos. Actually, barry and i were saying that marshalling at the top gave us both a good view of the cars coming in, was also a chance to meet a load of you through open windows! Barry was all over all the Aplina stuff coming in.

Overall i thought it was a lot less chaotic than the last couple of years. Nice to finally meet Dips the genius, after buying stuff off him on the bay and reading so much about his work. Also good to meet Beardymatt and see the superb rebuild on his sport. A credit to you mate. Thought i may have wound him up a bit too much by asking him "who the f*** repaired that?" as he queued to come in!

Had a blinding run down alongside the freshly painted Sport and had a little fun with a few bits and peices. Like the line of RS's hogging the middle lane that we buzzed at about 120, me on the insdie and Barry on the outside. Or the posh git in his 645 who seemed to lose his bottle over 115 who barry hassled to about 135!!! Left Reigate hill at 10 past 6, pulled into Gaydon at about 10 past 7 All good fun!

[oguz327]

Well done again Trevor and Barry on the marshoining fantastic job guys!

Many thanks Trevor for the pass too BKs on me at Guildford

[trevski]

Enjoyed every minute of gaydon ! sun, cool cars and two beers Did any one spot the 1978 733!! i got chattin to the owner, a very pleasant man in a straw hat! i had never seen or heard of this model. it was very clean and a stick shift too!... lots of m3S some with from far away shores! Alpinas where there to including a z8!! as used by clarkson Mr j ! and it survived too and to top it off i won a years worth of total bmw magazines on the tombola!! excellent day for me , thanks to all involved see you next year..

[maxfield]

jaimie , we'll find you a nice base car for your project.

Reminds me need to send off for my provisional...

[Gortour]

Brill day out, met a few new faces, lots of people there though, that I didn't get to meet, like Kos, DanThe, c76jon and many others...
Nice to meet the ones I did, Beardymat's Sport is highly drool-worthy, a real credit to him, as B7 said. (someone else I didn't meet, or Trevski...)
Great day out, some lovely cars, even in the carpark... and the museum was good too.
I did find the ruddy Hondas but they weren't anywhere near the cars.
