I'd be interested in both (a) and (b). What did you have in mind? What about a track day? You're right, it is a bit quiet in here Harry |

Hi harry, nice to see another SE'er in here, and not far away too! I would be looking at a rolling road session initially simply because sleeper junior is due in 8 weeks and there have been a substantial overspend by Mrs. Sleeper on baby stuff - funds a tad tight! Do you know how much brands is for track days at all? All we need to do now is round up some more people!! |

Hi Guys, a good rolling road in the area is Bexley Motor Works' one. Located in Bexleyheath, Kent. Not too far from Brands...
Easytrack normally do Brands days, a few of the guys on this forum go to them. Normally about £100 for an evening session on the Indy track. It is very quiet on here! James

They normally seperate into 2 or 3 groups, being Brands it can get up to 24 cars at a time, on the Indy Circuit!! You get 20-30 min sessions, normally 2-3 times in the evening. This is often reduced due to a 996 Porsche visiting the kitty litter! HTH, James |

There's Austec near Gatwick Airport. I know they do RR days, as I took my Skyline there on a 200SX outing. They've now had their rollers upgraded to 600bhp ones, as previously it was only a 350bhp setup. |

I've filled in my blank. Will they take 7? Maybe we could get a better deal if there's more of us? I suppose we could always ask a couple of non-BMW owners if we need to make the numbers up, what do you think?

Hi Fiz, I have enquired for 7. I don't think they will mind having 7 queued up in line for the rollers but we will see what they say. They advertise group bookings on the website. From a business point of view it looks good to me, even if only one of us (me!) comes back to them for work then its a customer they didn't have before the session - and shouting their name on here! No doubt we can get more cars if we need them. What age is your 525? I know that RR companies like to see good S/H before you go on the rollers, just in case there is a large bang! |

It's a 1991, but does have pretty much full history, and was last serviced in January.

No, but I would suggest a good checkover first - oil, water, (chain noise on M3), the usual. Oh yeah, and make sure your throttle is adjusted!!!
