Good to see a few familiar faces today.:beer:

Great to get back in the m3 saddle. Good day, if a little busy earlier on, but was clear for last hr. :smokin:

[shane@mbtech]

Shimmy and Barry's race car looks very very well planted. Wish them luck for upcoming rounds, and you too Steve :beer:

Yep, good to see you too mate, last time was end November 2011 Xmas do.

Steve's tango goes round corners well:smokin:

[s.mac]

Fuck me, what's that hanging off Shimmy's chin !!!!

Always good to meet up, even with an m3 Cutter :)

Didn't do bad but got home took the car off the trailer and it sounded like a bag of spanners, for fuck sake....

Shane, Will, phil appreciated the pas laps :thumbs:

Cheers Barry, but nothing on the straights, which is a tad annoying when people who can't drive round corners pull over and floor it on the straights, cocks

[shimmy]

what a fun day, it got better and better.

started shite with Smac showering our car with stones which kept coming and coming from his last outings dabble in the gravel. Luckily screen didn't crack!

saw the red and grey Scouse wagons all day but not on track at the same time until the last 30 mins where they followed me for 5 laps....I think I did well not to drive looking out of my rear view mirror. I kept trying to let them buy but I think they were laughing to much to want to over take

our car seemed to hold up ok, It handles very well, no snap or wash or real understeer, a little lacking in bhp for a 2.5litre but great fun now that we have it mioving around under us.

Barry and I did 2m03:4/9 respectively which I think ought to be eventually in the 2m01s just

[mattCSLnut]

Good looking Shed :thumbs: if she's an early 2.5i with single Vanos engine, that'll take some serious punishment before it pops :supz:
Has she had the bigger 320i inlet manifold job for extra Pep :whistle:

[rstoughy]

That looks superb :smokin:

[s.mac]

Sorry about the stones Shimmy, they kept on appearing all day from different places :(

Your car looks well :smokin:

[AlexGTT]

Looks like you all had fun. Was trying to make it over but mental week for work. :banghead:

Shane, that looks very shiny. Proper machine. :smokin:

Betsy still looking good Uncle Albert. ;) Did you share properly with Barry?

In the kitty litter again with Tango then Steve. ;) And yes, I just called the other Steve re: Jensen. :smokin:

[s.mac]

Nice one Alex:beer: he is obsessed with the Jensen ...

No, it's was the first time out since the roll at Donny and no matter how good you clean and strip stones keep appearing :(

Hopefully the guys will have some sympathy now that they've seen how quick it is round corners, when it goes you're fcuked...

Great job can we have more pictures :thumbs:

[shimmy]

Tbh Criag under the bonnet it shone more than Glendogs bollocks, and you know how much rubbing they get! It was absolutely showroom condition.

BUT you are all forgetting the important question, is it faster than CSL, or will it be at Spa as this car has a purpose :supz::finga::thumbs:

[s.mac]

is it faster than CSL

not at Oulton on those times.

I need new cam and lifters :banghead: new oil has no zinc in...zinc is no good for new types of engines and cats etc.. but my old style engine needs the protection.

Good to find this out after it fucks the engine up :bigcry:

Lots of traffic Steve.

Was much much faster towards end of play with Phil in, but still miles off the pace.

First time in m3 since crashing the CSL so was a little bit weary, but towards the end of the day confidence was growing. Just need to improve myself now, lots of seat time needed.

Performance box will be at the ready for Spa.

[s.mac]

as always I read it wrong Shane :clown: forget that comment...

[s.mac]

Ive got some video of me trying to follow Shimmy :( it didnt last long :bigcry: I will put it up when it uploads.

[s.mac]

standard 1.6 CVH :clown: trying to keep up with 325 BMW, Shimmy driving, soon got stuck behind traffic

Yep already taking punishment :)

I think it's the 2.5 that has the bigger inlet that they put onto the restricted 2.8 to gain power.

Think that was me you were following, I remember watching in the mirrors you flying round the corners:thumbs: then me getting held up and watching you in the mirrors for around two laps.

[s.mac]

A little twitch before deers leap there Barry ;) apart from that it didn't move an inch :thumbs:

You will do some good times with no traffic!! Make sure you get free track in quali and don't get tied up in traffic ;)

I've no power on the straights, you lift at all coming up to traffic and it's all over :(

I'm hoping to get dragged along by faster cars;) to up pace too.

[s.mac]

You need to get in the holding area right behind a front runner then ;)

It's all irrelevant if Shimmy struggles with the changeover, it looks quite a tight squeeze for a big lad ...

:hahaha: you bitch, we did a couple of change overs and with little practice, just under 30 secs, will get this down to 20 secs though.

[s.mac]

Shimmy going on a diet then? his wife will be pleased :whistle:
