i popped into Bedford today to drop off something for KK to post to NZ_M3.

Saw KK, MattCSLCnut, jimb, as well as a guy ive met at Simpsons with a SG CSL and another CSL of a guy I recognised

5x SG CSLs, I guess the Black ones were scared off

weather looked ace and the guys were hooning around amongst a few GTRs, E36s, CosssyRs500 etc, and i wished i had my car.

Good choice of day guys and great to hear the sounds


(Matt got particularly animated with one poor EvoV111 driver who nearly wiped him and jimb out off the track)

Mmmm, I'm finding this happening a lot these days on TD's. Glad the guys survived without any nasty incidents.

Was a great day indeed perfect weather for horse power, albeit not enough to keep up with that cossy in a straight line, however i do have half a litre of castrol GTX on my car from trying

I am sure the EvoV111 driver had King Kong's finger in his pants after that "little" spin

Great to meet you chaps I should have hopped in with you Alex for a few pass laps, to see what the 18'' cups with nitron's was like

A great day rounded off nicely with an easy driver home M1 and 25 both clear i was home before 6

Was a great way to end final TD 2010, weather being on our side too for sure! May I also add a v.smelly Cossy that one was too! jibm, seat's there next time.
Matt & I both were tested for our killer reaction times when I had a Caterham spin on last bend in front again too. Finished with a romantic meal for 3 (where did you go jibm?) listening to Matt telling us how lucky he was and walking to the table like john wayne after a brown pants session with the Evo. M1/ M25 was horrible for 10+mile, 40mph plodding! Tiring but good full fat day

Agreed KK good day to end the CSL TD season has been had, bar that EVO moment. You guys have NO idea just how close he came to Total carnage, that would have ended the TD early for sure, not to mention destroyed my CSL Lucky I was looking in my rear view mirror, thinking of such a scenario happening only to see it develop right behind me, shortly after. Being in second gear @ 30 mph foot hovering over the loud pedal and lightning fast reactions however saved the day by no more then an inch What is it with the EVO drivers wanting to destroy M-cars, any which way Anyone remember that EVO Prat @ Spa T-boning the German registered E46 M3 ???

100% thumbs up to the organizers "Focused Events" for "Firm but Fair" no nonsense approach to safety of all others and showing the blind EVO driver the gates out, after his shenanigans.

Good to see familiar faces Flatout (Rich), KK (Alex) and Shimmy (CSL less) and good to put a face to name Jibm
Not sure about "romantic meal for 3 " but it was great to sit down, relax and have some much needed refreshments after a Full Phat Day.
Some pix... surprise, surprise ... for these of you who couldn't make it.

Nice pictures Matt.

What exactly did the EVO do to almost ruin your day?
