I think Brian would score quite good in the show and shine class!
If it would be up to me I would put his car on display as it shows the "true" M3 enthusiast's M3.
His engine bay is spotless and things are sorted in the correct way (and I don't mean silly 15 year old stickers....)
For me it has this "M3 aura" with good looks and clean, but a still smelling layer of brake dust on the rims with tyres cleary showing some hard track work. Perfect!


Mine has not been cleaned since i have bought it last september. The tyres have a light blue/brown ring around them from the pad dust.

Hello all, due to some unforeseen personal circumstances I am unable to see you all at Gaydon. This is very disappointing as I was looking forward to meeting alot more of you.

I shall however be comming along to Silverstone, although not to drive my car round the circuit, but to watch, meet and have a natter with a few of you.

Hope the weather is good for you and you all have a great time.

Paul.

Wooohooo! Congrats John!
Really enjoyed the day. Much better than last year. I have met a lot of you guy's and it was quite good to put some names to faces.
I think we should follow up on this success and met up for a M-Power meeting somewhere convenient for the most of us.(or whoever wants to come along)

I will start and suggest Milton Keynes!

I missed you by about 2 mins, I was having a good look over your car, waited about a bit (probably looked shady!) as I was walking away, I heard you start it and drive off for one of your sessions! Never mind, next time! Sorry I missed you at the gate too, you got there before me, organised chaos when I arrived!

A side note about the weather. I have just taken my T-shirt off and am looking like still wearing a balaclava!
My face and neck are at least 10 tones darker than the rest off me. Looks quite funny

Great day out, well pleased I made it there. Good to catch up with all the usual Ring suspects and some new faces too.Another meet like last years at ML , is a must before the summer is done.

Wayne . The Silverstone day is Monday Sep 26th . Have a look on the club events page for details. Oh yeah , I can't help but think your car will need some ballast in the passenger seat. I volunteer

Here's a pic of some crazy bugger M3 owners I saw on the M40

Uwe,
Shame I missed you today,found your car.Grant said you were last seen heading for the burger van.
Wayne your car is awesome,can`t wait to see it in action.
John your car is very clean,but washing the tyres with a little green washing up sponge is a little OTT in my opinion
Sorry didn`t hang around too long as I find static car displays a little boring,so we shot off for a spot of water sking at Brighton.

Jon
