bah, its not too quiet when you are in it :)
That garage was a godsend, stopped us from boiling to death.
I was thinking, I could drop in to you, copy those videos onto my laptop, and do whatever re-encoding is necessary. Neeeeed video.

Well I suppose he 325 is so quiet compared with that 156 or the ricers that
you would miss it. And they were parked in the garage beside the Westfield
in the afternoon when not on the track. Would have liked to see rapidude
there. And would have liked to get a spin with him too. (Where were you
rapidude? Explain yourself).

I was there all day with Paul and Phil. (I towed the 325 down) They were out for every session. Pamela came down in the afternoon. Nobody else there from the club to get a spin with.

allow girls.

p.s. I liked the Aston as well. It sounded so nice on its own, but was very
quiet compared to some of the Civics. Just think. I'll be able to afford one
when I'm about 55. Can't wait.
no alex i didnt get out as passenger at all... what time did you guys get there? i didnt see the red beemer's there at all, i did not see any of you guys either.... maybe next time eh!!!

Only four beemers, two old 5's, an e30 and llatsni's e36 325. My first time on the international track (passanger). Can't wait to drive it myself. I didn't see a lot of messin' but a few cars were being black flagged. A new Westfield with a 250 bhp 2.0 Ford Zetec had the fastest lap (I think) 2:01 with a passanger. llatsni did a 2:17.33 and Reckless did a 2:18. I'm sure new suspention and tyres will knock 4 or 5 seconds off that.

i was there alex... savage skyline but the aston topped it for me... got there about 11 and left at 2.30 was a bite quite i thought... got me head burned to...

Yep, was a great day. Our 325 held up really well, the cold air intake seems to be working, and makes a fantastic sound :) The dials are a bit erratic on the car, and at one stage, I was using the bark from the k&n as a gearshift point :) Paul completed the bedding in of the new greenstuff pads in about 6 laps, and the brakes worked really well all day. The tyres are still refusing to wear out, but don't give much grip either, abs was kicking in a fair bit. We'll have videos in due course.

Had a passenger spin in the Westfield, amazing.

was a class day... much more civilised than expected.
Some excellent machines out there.

I particularly liked:
- a yellow lancer (REALLY fast)
- the aston martin (taking it easy)
- kit westfield (best i've ever seen)
- the super/turbo charged alfa... THE NOISE!!!!

the 325 was great... sounded cool coming at you with the new DIY CAI, but totally silent when passing, esp in comparison to the ricers! lol.
For oct we plan to have the exhaust sorted, and hopefully the suspension and tyres which were pretty much the weakest link on monday.
