was a class day... much more civilised than expected.
Some excellent machines out there. I particularly liked: - a yellow lancer (REALLY fast) - the aston martin (taking it easy) - kit westfield (best i've ever seen) - the super/turbo charged alfa... THE NOISE!!!! the 325 was great... sounded cool coming at you with the new DIY CAI, but totally silent when passing, esp in comparison to the ricers! lol. For oct we plan to have the exhaust sorted, and hopefully the suspension and tyres which were pretty much the weakest link on monday. Paul |

Yep, was a great day. Our 325 held up really well, the cold air intake seems to be working, and makes a fantastic sound :) The dials are a bit erratic on the car, and at one stage, I was using the bark from the k&n as a gearshift point :) Paul completed the bedding in of the new greenstuff pads in about 6 laps, and the brakes worked really well all day. The tyres are still refusing to wear out, but don't give much grip either, abs was kicking in a fair bit. We'll have videos in due course.
Had a passenger spin in the Westfield, amazing. |

Did you get out as a passanger at all Luke. I was out with Paul and Phil in the
325. I was quite impressed with the track. Some very interesting corners around the back. Pamela went out with Paul as well. She liked it too. She might drive at the next BDD. She's going to join the club as well. If they allow girls. p.s. I liked the Aston as well. It sounded so nice on its own, but was very quiet compared to some of the Civics. Just think. I'll be able to afford one when I'm about 55. Can't wait. Edited by flyingalexf68 |

I was there all day with Paul and Phil. (I towed the 325 down) They were out for every session. Pamela came down in the afternoon. Nobody else there from the club to get a spin with. |

Well I suppose he 325 is so quiet compared with that 156 or the ricers that
you would miss it. And they were parked in the garage beside the Westfield in the afternoon when not on the track. Would have liked to see rapidude there. And would have liked to get a spin with him too. (Where were you rapidude? Explain yourself). |

bah, its not too quiet when you are in it :)
That garage was a godsend, stopped us from boiling to death. I was thinking, I could drop in to you, copy those videos onto my laptop, and do whatever re-encoding is necessary. Neeeeed video. |
