Well my first DW Outing today
While this was going on Rich set up his stall There a bit of a mix up in the order for the Rolling Road and folk that were there early never formed the Que as good as they could of and others wanted first as they had been here first Some members from Evotechnik.net turned up as i arranged to have our first Scottish Meet at this event also (some are members on here) They were soon getting into the car washing thing and then we went off for a wee photo shoot while Rich did some demo`s(soz no pics of demos but will boar you with loads of Bm`s)(Oh and a lovely Golf GTI with Nice alloys)
Anyway big shout to Rich from Polished bliss for getting the day set up and Clark for the company down and getting the car cleaned

What's the scoop on this Pete? Would Polished Bliss be able to do a full detail on the day? Or are they just there for advice / demoing techniques? -------------

They shouldn't have been bemused - it's well known the later M cars really dislike RRs due to all the electrickery. -------------

[QUOTE=Pete330] To answer some m3 owners thoughts maybe Jim at Star has no problem doing Dyno runs on M3 SMG,but is not sure about manual as he aint done one How would the manual differ from the SMG? You would assume that the SMG gadgetry would be more complicated to get round. -------------  |
