Good to see you guys out on track, I love those E30 M3s

Had a cracking day at Mallory Park and had a lot of fun during the second "Intermediate" session with you lot in the M3's!

I was still getting to grips with the car and the track at that point (still had the traction control on which doesn't help really). Tried going around Gerards the same speed as a black M3 and the traction control (or more than likely it was me) did something very odd which I think worried my girlfriend in the passenger seat a little  I held off a little that session after that! Wierd because towards the end of the day I was going a lot faster with no problems, maybe more grip in the afternoon.

Stuck with one of you guys in a red M3 for the rest of the second session, a lot of fun!  Cheers for all of you M3 drivers who were very courtious, sorry I didn't say thank you all of the time when I was let past. Didn't want to take my hand from the steering wheel at those speeds heading towards a corner!

The last session was my best as far as my driving was concerned but there were some people out there who I wish hadn't bothered... I was overtaken by a white Mk1 Golf on the inside in the braking zone for the hairpin!! To make it worst I was being held up by someone who wouldnt move over to let me past and there was no room for the guy who overtook me to squeeze in! Fool! I showed my anger with my horn. Other than that it was a good day. It was a shame it ended early but luckily everyone was ok. Poor R32 owner.

Thanks to all of you BMW drivers for attending.

Sorry about some the antics some of you may have experienced on track.

I can certainly vouch for some over enthusiastic and sometimes dangerous driving. Overall though I think the day was a success and was good value compared to some of the days I have been on.

Good to see a collection of "proper" old skool E30 M3's......just can't beat them for desirability.

Those and the MK1/2 Golfs are for me, 'real' clubsport cars that give really good 'bang' for the 'buck' entertainment.

I had a good follow with the black BMW which was particularly rapid.

Nicely driven as I was following you in my white MK2 2 litre 16V (flame thrower). You obviously are an old rear wheel drive campaigner.

What spec engine/car was it ??

Other than the normal re chip what other big gains are there to be had with those M3's ??

Who specialises in them ??

Was anyone filming the day who could post it on here ??

The one car I 'd love to own as a trackday weapon an E30 M3.

I hope you will all attend again later in the year. I will anounce another date on here shortly.

Once again thanks for your support.
