Yes.. I'm laughing as well! ..seriously though, a word of warning.. take it from me.. I learned the hard way.. My old Hartge 325 was so 'trick' I thought I could show any E30 M3 the way round Cadwell Park.. the trouble was that I was always on the limit, when at the same pace the M3 still had a little up it's sleeve. One day I pushed a little too hard trying to get that little extra down the old start finish.. unfortunately for me 'Barn' is an unforgiving son of a bitch and with too much opposite lock I kissed the armco and flipped the car. Don't let the mods fool you into thinking you have a M3 eater.. it's still a 328.. a very quick little 328 now, but still a 328. Not that that's a bad thing, far from it.. just remember to respect your machine and she'll bring you home every time. Nick Croft'05 |

nick, have to agree with you. the car isnt a m3 but is a 328..with many mods to enhance the ride /handlind and braking. since croft 04, i've taken the opportunity to modify the car further, not with the intention of trying to out-perform other cars, but to make life easier for the car with more suited components (a bilstein pss9 suspension kit and some modified brakes). my driving abilities will slowly improve, but with a car which is more capable when driven on track. i'm not really looking for a m3 eater, just something which is quick, reliable, fun and above all SAFE! ive taken on board your comments and will learn from them (especially the cadwell park bit...ouch that must've hurt) as the last thing that i want is to over do it to the point where the cars being dragged out of the armco with a tractor! i am still very much a novice with 4 bdd outings under my belt and look forward to donington bdd with a new approach from my last outings, and try to build up the speed/pace with more expert tuition from people like chris rossiter! i'll take that baby home in one peice, with a little smile on my face knowing that ive learnt something new and had a great day out. lookind forward to croft05 already! Best regards Barf

Simon, I have used your old address, www.miodem.com, in the
article about Croft for the BMW CC magazine. Does this need to be changed or will miodem continue to work for a while? I don't know the publication date, although Nick might. Regards to all (hi Barf), Tim |

Is there a noise limit that day, and if so what is it? I look forward to coming along. Forms in the post.
Who are the instructors?... and can they cope with a CSL snapping sideways at 120 mph in the second craner without freaking (Like Calum Lockie did!) |
