    Thought you would know this circle. Tim has told me about Andy and his M3.
    You are right, they suddenly seem bored of playing with 80k cars with carbon wheels and 400bhp. shame they didnt opt for our variant though

    Thats not a bad thing as it makes it easier for us to keep up.

    A great Day at Brands, didn't get enough track time due to tyre problems but great to meet a few more of you guys from here.

    Lydia from performance BMW wanted to ask which circuit would people prefer for a Track Day for Spring Next Year ???? how do you do a poll type post ?

    Cheers to every one who came and said hello and shared a coffee with us , see you all next year :m:

    He went wide at the top to go around a car goiong into the pits went on the wet/greasy stuff and went into the barriers - front wing/bumper, door and mirror and rear wing - bing bang boom.... ;(

    Car feels quicker but tickover from cold is more lumpy and is in the 17 to 19 range - also seems to fluctuate more?

    Need to do a proper tunning session with an expert :D - fancy a trip to Newbury

    Oulton park was mentioned so was mallory and donnington, they want to organise it for spring 07 as everyone had a great day today it might become a regular Performance BMW day, with a show and track day going on together ?

    if you sort a dyno out ;smilie[78]

    I saw the car and know the chap, but didn't know his name.
    It was really slippery and wet all day on the outside lane, I am not surprised he went off.

    how much was that Dyno near you Uwe?

    far too expensive. I don't think they rent out at all.
    There is another guy near me with a Dyno and a large enough fan, but I can never get hold of him. A bit of a chaos team there....
