superb day at brands perfect dry weather, loads of interesting and quick cars, unusually all drivers were called in after lunch for a rollicking for poor track driving and behaviour, what is bmw ownership coming to?

What car did you take Jeff?

we took the old e36 325 that we have turned into a track car, it handles well but a bit gutless on the straight. good thing is you dont have to worry about going off and damaging it (something we done a couple of times)! we're considering something more powerful for next year perhaps an e46 330i or an rx7, see how the funds go.

What damage did you do? Sounds like it was a dogs dinner out there?!

damage was done last year driving has improved since then/had more practice. came off at the hairpin and swiped the front of the car down the armco. thats why i wonr use my road car its easily done. as it was a lump of 4x2 and a hammer fixed it. knocked all the badges off at the same time to lose some weight!
