Hi Guys

The first report is in the Classic & Sports car Magazine. I am rather pleased with this as it will help our case for the E30 as a Classic! Others to look out for TOTAL BMW, PERFORMANCE BMW, BMW CAR, and BMW GBs inhouse mag. Can I ask you guys if you have any still photos of Rockingham of the cars on show. There are plenty of the cars on the track. I hope to make "scrap book" of the day I will cover all costs etc. Thanks

What res do you want photos in? I took a few that I could email to you, but I have dial-up too, so I'll make them smaller. Is 800x600 OK, or would you prefer something else? jpegs don't zip up very much, since they're already compressed.

Ron, I have a handful of general shots that I could email to you. If you let me have your email address (PM) I'll reduce them to a small size and if you find them useful and what higher res one's I can send them later.

Hi Guys

I have been thinking if i want to print these pics low res will be know good. I will just have to sit and wait for them to download. I am not all that up on all these computer/ photo thing is there a compromise. I do not want to print them that big say 5"x3" max. So could you all send them the best way you can. Thanks very much.

Have you seen the reports in the mags BMW Car Club and the zone come over very well.

I have both BMW Performance and Total BMW Mags with the Rockingham reports. The BMW Car Club come out very well great puplicity. The one in PBMW is the better one shows more of the static cars. The Total one is also very flatering but a lot of it is cars on the track. Some people are never satisfied, but it still made me feal quite proud. The report in the MAY issue of Classic & Sports Cars is a half page but I think very important for my quest towards CLASSIC CAR status for the E30.

Simon,

I collected my copy today and was most surprised, but in a nice way. Good to see you were credited as well.

Hi Guys

Well it just had to be done. I have just read the posts about all the Scotts in the club mag- well done guys. But how about the E30 register!!! Page 4 chairmans chat, centre spread and next page WOW. I think the E30 has come of age and a force to be recond with. We havent finnished yet more to come of the E30 at Gaydon. Thanks to Andrew Dale for the magazine article well done. And thanks again to all you guys. Hope to see some of you at BMW Sunday 9th May Hestercombe Gardens.
