    It was Jake's last weekend in the UK before he headed off back to the States, so quite a few of us met up at Bedford Autodrome, here are a few photos.


    Dave's Db reducing idea seemed to work

    The E30 was not quite as old as some of the entries

    As usual, Dave and Uwe had made an early start and got the best pit garages

    If the jacket fits.... Uwe does his Dave Gamble impression

    Quickly followed by his human cannonball impression :)

    It was OK while it lasted, sadly Dave didn't get good value from his day, I'm sure he will be back on track soon

    Steve's unique white CSL, complete with instructions, although I'm not sure anybody got the chance to take him up on his offer!

    Jake sampled Uwe's car...

    ...and Martin's car

    Now where did that £1 coin go, oh forget it, I won't be able to spend it after Wednesday :)

    A good showing of E30's

    And all sorts of interesting machinery besides

    We finished the day off with a meal, there were some strange goings on in the car park...

    Jake, you better get back on that fat boy diet when you get back to work ;-)

    Good to see all of you again. Jake, I hope we meet up again, Nurburgring 2009 is already being talked about.

    Uwe, you look wonderful in that Jacket...to your mum :D

    No, seriously ...looks like you boys had a good outing. But why does the weather in the UK seem to abdicate all the climatic finery that God has blessed this entire planet with ?

    Just Oscar bewildered....:eek:

    wait till you see Dave in it........:D

    that was the third time I went to a trackday in the winter and left my jacket at home. Rolland don't forget it is still winter/early spring in the UK. The weather was actually quite pleasent.

    Well, it's official. This is my first post from the US. Chicago to be exact. Just sitting here with a 4hr lay over before I head on to South Dakota to see the fam. I tell ya, I'm sure not going to miss that 8hr flight.

    Chow for now,
    Jake
