Right car is on the trailer ready to go in the morning. Just need to reattach front bumper on when we arrive and chuck in the passenger harness and we'll be good to go

I popped along for the afternoon sesson as it looked like it was drying up, of course half way there is started raining and by the time I arrived it was properly wet. Still has fun though, Bedford has more Wet track grip than Silverstone which surprised me. I was in a black E92 M3.

It got worse as the day went on, lots of standing water which my AD08r tyres weren't clearing in a few spots. My car jumped 2ft to the right as I was passing another car down the straight, decided to slow down a bit after that lol.

Pretty wet. Day was chequered-flagged around 3:30pm due to deep standing water around the chicane at the western end.

The S1 is hilarious in these conditions. Makes me want one.

Epic day that was, too driving and track etiquette from all attendees. We were in the red MX turbo with no grip and 200 hp to the rears which made it ermmm entertaining. Some areas we had no turn in whatsoever but we were laughing like a pair of skoolboys finding their dads porno collection. Good to the that old Starlet out there giving its all and the Mk 2 escort are always fun to watch. Was that Stig Blomquist at the wheel? Had a good play and follow with the supercharged mx, fun to watch that sideways thru the corners in my rear view. U

Did the E30 get sorted, i think it was the one i flashed on the M25 with the starlet/escort combos under its own steam,

Apologies for causing the red flag prior to lunch, the rose joint at the bottom of one of my rear coilovers ceased and snapped the bolt holding shock to the trailing arm. Despite the rain, was having a great time up until that point.

I did thanks mate, enough to get back to my workshop but there was no chance I was heading out on track again.
