For bringing together another great day at Croft.

It was a little sad you didn't remember me from about a decade ago when I brought the Bob Shiell M5 racer along and my own e21 racer the year before, but hey ho lol, you must see so many faces! I am not going to complain haha.

It is exciting that the day went so well for everyone and it has to be said also that the yellow's when they did come out just once in the whole day that it was only for about twenty seconds. Anyway, probably one of the best track day events I've been to in a good while (and my first BMW event in almost ten years), hopefully we will be back again in April if you do it. I was driving Moseleys e36 M3 when the crank decided to finally begin to give out so we had to trailer it. Richard Marsh with the Dakar yellow M3 had a ball, and this was his first ever track day. Jason brought his e30 Center track slag and tried to kill it but failed! Good lasting impressions today all round sir, well done and again, thank you!

I got a few pics so I'll bung them up asap. A fond hello to everyone who attended :)

Buster. Your car was really sweet. Went like a train and had a cool factory look about it. All I could do was really goggle at it lol. I tend to be a little shy at meets so sorry I didn't commend you directly.

Deano, did you have the blue caged touring ? winkeye

Time to get those shots up. I'll post a link shortly. I have to apologise for some of the shots as my Fuji was reacting a little strangely in the aperture department, so some of them came out rather dark.

Mox

Some good pics there, nice to see someone with a camera out and about around the circuit rather than just in the pitlane.

I was driving the blue E21 (sharing the garage with the e30 centre car), I had some slicks to try out, but managed to thoroughly melt the tread off my nearside front tyre in true Lewis Hamilton style!

We grudgingly lent some space in the garage to the Group A car!

See you all there again next year!

Seriously ?

It'll come to you and you'll go oh :roll: lol
Bob's one of the best guys on the planet and doesn't have a single bad bone in his body, I swear it. I'm Jan. Part timer from Moseley's gaff. I ran the BM challenge in 96 & 97 although I don't know many of the current drivers tbh.

Lets turn this around.... PM me and let me know who you are too. winkeye
