Great day today. Host of 6 series cars there including Sohlmans manual 635 aplina look-a-like, Nicks Diamond black highline, my white pimp mobile, an early red 635 and a tastefully modified grey highline on Rondell 19's, seriously lowered with major body mods and some cool sound system. Others included a 323i bought yesterday for peanuts which was in great nick, 8 series, e30's including M3's but it was the 6 series cars that dominated. Some really mad motors down the strip including a tubbed black e30 running in the low 9's Great day Ian |

Would be interesting to see the comparable times between standard six, m635, 8-series and the others you mentioned Ian if you have them?? Cheers -------------

Charming! See Sohlman for pics. I used his camera to capture a run in his 635 at 16.3. I also captured the jet car taking off for a 6.5 second run. I did not run mine down the strip as it is now off the road for a head swap.

16.3? Errm, was that with or without polishing kit in the boot? I seem to remember that two years ago at the Pod, he did a best of 16.5 (compared to 17.01 in my fully-loaded auto -------------

) - with full kit in the back, and that was before the intake modifications. 0.2 seconds off doesn't seem particularly rewarding.Posted By: Sohlman

Track temperature was 38 degrees. The car was actually cold as it had been sitting for 1.5 hours without running due to accidents and lunch break so i went easy for those reasons short shifting. Did not get a chance to do another run as cars kept blowing up. Will maybe give it another run later on in the year when conditions are better. -------------  Sunday 10th July Brooklands Sharkfest and Big Coupe Day. http://635csi.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ - Coupe Events
