Happy New Year everyone.
Thought it'd be a good idea to kick off as we mean to go on so shall we say 1st meet of 2005 set for the Harvester, Loughton, Milton Keynes last Sunday in January 12pmish?

John, Any space for some gatecrashers from further south? The M5 need a good run and maybe we could get a convoy like we did for Aylesbury a year ago. Cheers ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |

Ey up folks
Sounds as tho there is quite a bit of interest in an Aylesbury meet. Looks like I'll have to get my act together and possibly start sorting something out when we gather at MK. That ok John?

We had a meet a couple of months ago, and it was suggested we maybe alternate between MK, Northampton and Aylesbury, so more people could get involved. We will have to get some thing sorted at MK meet
See Ya there Mick ------------- |

Hi all, havent been on here for a while for various reasons. My M3 Convertible is currently having a well earned winter rest untill April 2005 due to covering nearly 24k last year (my attempt to keep the mileage lowish.) I have some friends over that weekend but i will try and pop along to say hi, i would also appreciate some help/advice regarding the dreaded VANOS noise, and attempts to get BMW to pay for the replacement seems very difficult! Any feedback would be welcome, for those of you living in Northampton you may have seen my one floating around in the summer..........roll on April!!!! Neil ------------- M3 Cabby (sideways!)

Scorpion is ok but a bit load, on a run motorway speeds you get a constant droning, it does sound nice when you hit the loud pedal though. Didn't cost me anything so can't complain to much, I was thinking of changing it for a Supersprint and de-cat, but still unsure. ------------- |

whats the main difference with the Supersprint and the decat? I am looking at filters too, havent really done any mods myself other than the ICE and privacy glass. ------------- M3 Cabby (sideways!) E36 M3 Evolution + superchip ... 344bhp!!! |

I've heard that the real advantages on decatting are on the 3Ls but you're more than welcome to have an earful/gander at my setup-Supersprint decat and backbox.
Worth speaking to John with the M powered breadvan (sorry John) as he had his go and knows spot on what it sounds like/characteristics.

LOL, I promise to get out of 1st then.
Will let you past, honestly, especially since MK police seem to have sussed that road and permanently stationed a radar trap on the bridge at the bottom, as anyone who knows that road will know you can be well into 3 figures (or so I am told) before the slope just as the bridge comes into view so they've got you!! ------------- Gentlemen I may not have a brain but I do have an idea Past; E39 540T/E46 328CI/ E39 535/ E39 520/ E36 M3/ E36 318iS jet black Mtech/ E46 320d/ E36 318iS diamond black/ E36 318iS blue Mtech kit |

Good turn out, thanks to all that came, especially those that travelled from Newbury, Coventry, Hemel Hempstead. It was good to see more turning up, and some nice cars too, back in August last year, we had one in Northampton, and there was only John and myself there, so we're heading in the right direction. I spoke to John (Stone Island M3) before we left and proposed a meet at Northampton end of Feb, (last weekend) was mentioned but will confirm via post here. Ratbark is going to try to organise something Aylesbury for march, so keep your diaries free. Again thanks to those that turned up Central region is here for us all lets do more and enjoy ------------- |

The last Sunday in March is Easter Sunday, so I weas perhaps thinking about 20th March??? I know it's not the last weekend but it's the closest I can get. Im not around the following weekend (2nd & 3rd April) but that doesn't mean that it cant be arranged for then, just means I wont be there. What d'ya reckon folks? Grant, cheers for the pics.
