rock star? Who was that then?
And another funny story to add. I was telling Norm about a video I found on trackvisions website showing a mad Porsche with 180mph on the dial in no time. It was him!! A 911 GT2 twin turbo with 812bhp

Good to see you and the gang again Kev, you were flying in your M3 - look forward to seeing the vid where you followed me around.

Well, it just keeps getting better with each visit to the ring.
Now with 5 in our group of E30 M3 mean machines.

Met up with the usual suspects and had fun on the ring in the dry and wet, and off it (by that I mean in the evenings). We found a pub with a Dutch barman who re-opened it on a Sunday night just for us - top bloke.

Managed to get some good video footage on the track especially following Steve who is now running a M3 CSL (lucky man), will sort this out eventually and try to post.

I think I may have Kevin in his Cecotto as well, showing his usual superb control in the wet, even on Toyo R888's

Not really one for pics as usually too busy just having fun but have taken some this time, so here we go:


Somewhere in Belgium, we had to pay first then fill up with petrol which was new. Must be the way we looked - Richard!!!!




At the Ring - From Left to Right: Keith's beautiful Evo2 M3, Richard's lovely fully specced white M3 (nice wheels), Mark's lovely (bargain) black M3, Roy's Super-Duper (with way too much magazine exposure) red M3, oh and my red thing in the corner.


Just having a bit of a rest - poor things.


Running Left and Clockwise: Steve and his lovely Wife, Mark, Roy, Kevin and Gill, Richard (yes I can see what you are doing), oh and Norm - more on Norm later. Keith was probably ordering more beers, just for himself.


Not sure what I have said about Mark's driving but Roy looks scared.


And all the gang together, along with Keith Powel the Rock Star, honest look it up on the internet, it's true.
My word, doesn't Uwe look handsome with those bunny ears.

Ah yes, Norm.
Really really really top bloke who amongst other things is a professional racing driver from the good old USA, and it showed.
I am sure his reputation grew somewhat during the couple of days due to the fact he ended up giving more passenger laps than the ring taxi

Kevin
