Bedford Autodrome Saturday 9th February

Post Fri Feb 01, 2008 8:37 pm

Is anyone going from this forum? I noticed there's quite a few BMWs that will be attending.

Post Fri Feb 01, 2008 8:39 pm

Yes, me. What chariot are you going to be in?

Post Fri Feb 01, 2008 8:41 pm

Hi. I'll be in a 328 Sport. Completely standard at the moment. Am looking forward to seeing how it fairs before the more serious prep begins.

Post Fri Feb 01, 2008 8:48 pm

Cool, never done Bedford, and not driven my car on track in anger since i've fitted the cage, seat, harness, poly bushes etc etc, I can see some spins coming!

I'll be in a white 2dr e30 with red cage, say hello if you see me.

Post Fri Feb 01, 2008 8:54 pm

You'll definitely have some spins! - Bedford has loads of run off - it'd be rude not to.

are you going to bedford at the end of the month Theo?

Post Fri Feb 01, 2008 9:13 pm

Nah, I would have done, but my dissertation deadline is March the 10th and I will be in full-on panic/working 24/7 mode as the deadline nears.

Absolutely blinding day out. Thanks to theo for the ride and karan for scaring me half to deat, twice, and thanks to everett for the ride in the 320 hillfinder! Also good to meet toby & andy again and karans mate. What a great way to spend a saturday afternoon!

Lets all spare a thought for the M3 CS driver who crashed his company car

Post Sat Feb 09, 2008 6:33 pm

I had a great day too. My friend and I were mightily impressed by our new 328. RWD is the only way to go. It may not be as quick round the track as my old STi or Accord Type R but, DAMN, RWD is challenging and sooooooo rewarding when you're getting your drift on! Speaking of which, I notice that's all that Karan does - drift! Is that helped along by a welded diff because I couldn't help but notice you drifting in literally every corner!

Post Sat Feb 09, 2008 6:37 pm

No i think he has a 2way adjustable diff, not sure what lock up he was running. 280 bhp and some very hot eagle f1's probably helped. Even Andy Everett was giving it some open diff hero action in the first few bends

Post Sat Feb 09, 2008 6:42 pm

Sorry don't know who A Everett is. Which car was it?

Bog standard e30 320 touring in black. Very council.

Post Sat Feb 09, 2008 6:56 pm

Im back, car seems to sound a little different after a day of abuse, exhaust is blowing and there is a huge amount of play in the steering in one direction!

Was a great day out, even if my alternator did try and spoil the day 3 mins up the road after leaving at 6:30 in the morning.

Amazingly, I didn't spin! Couple of tank slappers and one scenic route across the grass, that was as exciting as it got!

Anyone got any pics?

Post Sat Feb 09, 2008 7:01 pm

Sound's good. Anyone going there again on the 23rd?

Post Sat Feb 09, 2008 7:16 pm

Marham next for me and the car will be transformed with a part strip, new coilovers, race seats and brakes. Can't wait to see the difference.

Post Sat Feb 09, 2008 7:16 pm
