I am now officially depressed.  Last night I got the time and date of my final exam.

11am, April 29th.

I was so looking forward to trying out the car in it's current sate to see if I could beat old times in it.

And the now infamous "Richie Burgers".

Now I'll be sitting in an exam hall trying to tell the difference between a refractometer and a dichoscope!

 I feel for ya, Fey. That's a stones.. a 5 Carat Triple-Zero Stones!

Haven't got my exam timetable yet but they're on between May 1st & 19th... At least I'm clear for the BDD, though I need to get the head into the books now if I'm to have any hope of a clear conscience come April 29th!

Once I have definite details about the spring date then I will approach the NI crowd as well as some dealers with the view to reducing costs.

Welcome Luke.
The track day will be on the afternoon of April 29th on Mondello's National Circuit. Due to Mondello costs, it will cost each driver 200.
There will be two groups - a novice/low power group and a higher power /more experienced group. The groups will go out for ~15 minutes while the other group pits for a quick break and let their cars cool.

For more details and an application form see http://www.bmwcarclubireland.com/mondello/

Hi lads (non BMW owner here for the moment, but a BMW lover at heart).

Luke asked me to post up a photo of his car, sorry it's not the best of shots, but it's good enough to give you an idea

All going to plan, I hope to trade down the years and take this car off Luke when he upgrades to a newer BMW - aint that right luke ?

Just to say hi, have been a stranger from this site for a while. Have been distracted with downhill mountain bikes and rice rockets Starting to settle back down now again.

Heard ye were organising a track day and was wondering is there still vacancies?

My membership is only just after running out this month. Would it be ok to renew it at Mondello? Saw in a few previous posts that ye are not letting people join on the day, due to the few muppets last time (good idea).

Myself and EoinO would like to bring our e30 325 track car along if that would be ok? Would it be 200 a head even if we are driving the one car?

If the answers to all the above is yes, I'll def go to mondello and can you put myself and EoinO on the definate list please.

Hopefully see ye then,

From what I remeber it is per driver. So if you have a fleet of cars you can bring em all down and only pay 200

@ Graham - if you and a EoinO were to do that then you would be getting pretty much as much driving as others who are paying the full rate, which isn't fair.
I have apologised for the prices previously but can't do anything about it as this is purely down to Mondello increasing costs and Im keeping my fingers crossed that it breaks even as it is.

@ Luke - nice one mate! welcome. You can settle the track fee on the day if you wish. Your guest can just come down on the day - no pre-booking necessary.
