I was in the green BMW 328i with the soft suspension and the (by the end of the day) extremely abused front tyres! I had a "Frogglez Racing" (don't ask - birthday present from a friend!) in the back window too.

I think my car must be fitted with a camera jamming device... I wonder if it works on speed camera's?

Nor mine either!

Shows the difference between something like that and a Supra though... 1 hour later and after borrowing a screwdriver off me and he's back out there tearing it up again - I wonder what the situation would have been if a Supra wheel had come off!

I agree, the mix was good (and not least because I was driving one of the oddies!) - it made it much more fun watching, and also more fun when out on the track when people were enjoying different wheels - sometimes not always ON the car, of course

Fantastic day, thank you Nevins and Sam - nicely organised, and good to see that my little Beemer didn't embarrass itself too much - I only managed to worry myself when my back shock bolt loosed off (caught it just in time with a quick visit to the pits) and trash the outsides of both fronts (after swapping them halfway through the day) - I think I might need to invest in a stiffer anti-roll bar - or perhaps replace the nut that holds the wheel

Beemer should be getting its braided brake lines added Thursday with new 5.1 fluid - I tried (and failed) to budge the corroded circles (I think they were once nuts) apart to do it myself! Looking forward to it now, roll on the (damn early) alarm Saturday morning!

I've got a box of bits packed as well, gaffa tape, hammers, screwdrivers, cable ties and the like - incase any of you decide on some unplanned body modification! I'll be crawling round the track in the green beemer if you need something. Incidently, Mr Nevins, will there be a pit type area somewhere that we can dump a box of tricks, spare wheel, fuel can, etc? Somewhere safe we can get to, that won't be in everyone's way?

Make it interesting, invite the corvette and mustang owners clubs - at least they would sound good, even if they couldn't go round the corners...

Ah, but they've not been driven by me, I make James May look fast Anyway, too late now, Nevins told me I can join in, so I'll all paid up and ready to go!

No-one has told me if I can come and play yet I'll try my best to keep up!

hehe, maybe you can do mine when I run out of talent too?

Eek, slicks - ok, maybe my beemer will be outclassed and in the way!

Ohhh, a track day... So, would this be open to me in a BMW 328i? Its a stripped out toy that we took around Nurburgring and on a couple of novice track evenings, so both it and myself are still newbie's to the track. Other than being stripped, it's pretty much standard (uprated pads, suspension, bucket seats, and that is about it) but hopefully it wouldn't be too far off the pace to be an annoyance?

Is that a no? You sorted now?
