Simon,

Great shots as always, hope you managed to avoid the chaos that is normally called the M1. It added an hour to our trip home.

Nick, if you want Matt Robison's e-mail let me know.  I saw a small acknowledgement only re Croft '05.

Simon, thanks - some great pics there.

Again, thanks to the organisers.  Sylv and I really enjoyed ourselves again - just ran out of brake pads in the afternoon.

Boost baby, BOOST!

I got TMC in the new car, so it gave me a diversion via Dunstable.  Probably added a half hour to the journey.

Got home about 18:15, left at 15:45 or so.

Will do.  We usually do Combe and charge around £100.  Loads of CSL's and AMG's..

I didn't forget last time!  I tried to get it added to the BMWCC events calendar, but a bit of apathy from the club admin meant it never got posted.  It was a good day too!  Next time

hiya lads, i do hope that brian and the boys continue to organise the CSL bdd at donington as it is just fantastic, even when its wet. the CSL day certainly lived upto its name with around 6 m3 CSL's and a lovely original 3.0 ltr CSL. the dry line which appeared just before lunch was a welcome sight and allowed a full throttle attack into craner curves. had the odd butt clenching moment here and there though, especially through starkies in the wet and redgate is still a problem corner for me (any body agree). the sparco buckets along with the suspension tweeks have been a significant success....i am now skint!! its always nice to put a face to a name (hello kevin, lovely car by the way) and looking forward to next years BMWCC BDD calendar.

oddly, donington was the first time that i did'nt have tuition at a circuit....yet, its the first bdd ive attended where i hav'nt had a spin!

Hi, barf.

You were certainly on it all day.

Thanks for the kind comments about the car. We enjoyed ourselves hugely but, like you, I found Redgate a challenge to get right. The icing on the cake was the passing 2 CSL's in the wet during the last session I guess the Pilot Cup's ran out of grip.

Angus,
Let me know what sort of events you are wanting to promote and if I can help you by getting the club to take notice then I will.
Don't forget though that for the club to give you it's support the event has to be for BMWCC members only.
Nick
