Cheers Ivan, We need as much help as possible at publicising this event as the Car club lost my article and consequently the publication deadline was missed. I have been assured that a mention will be made in straight six. So back to the event. Anyone with a big coupe and or who knows someone who has one please come down. The more people the better.

Hopefully the article will be added to the straight six edition just 4 days before the event. It's better than nothing, and i have also sent details to all the BMW magasines

We are having a mini-meet nearby at Newlands Corner on Sunday and will be driving down with about half a dozen E30s to support the meet James, looking forward to seeing all the sharknoses there !!!!! And Ivan will be taking the Hartge for a spin so I can get his feedback on how he thinks it handles !!!!!!!

When I last spoke with James he was after as many BMW's there as possible to support the Sharknose's. See you there.
Can somebody confirm what time it all kicks off? The Museum opens at 10am. |

All cars and people are welcome. The recent upsurge of interest i have had i will be very suprised if i don't get 50 635's down alone. All things being equall there should be around 150 vehicles comming down. As for starting time it all kicks off at 10am with the BBQ at around midday and prize givings after about 3. This should give enough time for some photo oportunities on the banking at about 4ish. The only restrction is that only E24's, E31's and E9's may access the banking, paddock and Dunlop Bridge. |

What people say, and what people do, may turn out to be two different things. Let's keep an eye on this..... |

The plan for the day will be:-
Couple of little pointers.
The day should run very smoothly, but i need to mention these pointers.
See you all there on Sunday
Kind Regards
James

James,
It was a great day, in a great location, note to self "must go back", and ran like clockwork. Well that's how it appeared from the outside which is always a sign of great organisation. A great selection of cars and the weather made it a perfect day. THANK YOU  Hopefully you had a few to recover.

Any pictures yet? Any plans to follow the US lead and take Sharkfest on tour? Somewhere a bit less South and a bit more North? |

WELL DONE James, a superb meet, I have never seen so many pristine coupes before. It was great to talk/meet/chat/admire cars and it seemed to flow like clockwork, but heck I am only a low;y E30 owner !!!!!!!!!!!!
