No I ran my own company, employed 12 people.

The situation has basically forced a CTRL-ALT-DELETE on my company and
now I´m working solo, basically back to square one

Last year I went 5 times - this year it looks like only one trip.

Was it you I saw on the bank holiday weekend (a fortnight ago)? Also saw a BMW with the plate 'Alpina'.

Small update.

As some people have noticed the clearcoat on the CF parts on the
car is damaged. It just "bubbles" off. No harsh chemicals used to
clean the car nor any hard scrubbing.

Here are some pics - first the "sunroof" - in very bad condition:


The spoiler flap - not as bad:


Front splitter:


The mirrors are just perfect - no clearcoat damage:


I have discussed this with the seller (http://www.e30shop.de) and he is
less than helpful. Just says these are race parts and he takes no
responsibility. Bla bla bla.

Anyways, I have given up on him and got a friend of mine who is a car painter
to make an attempt to save the splitter - worked very well:


Now he has the spoiler flap and hopefully he will be able to fix it too.
The "sunroof" is beyond repair and will be painted white.

That's quite worrying. I have an E30shop CF sunroof waiting (for a few years now) to be fitted. If it's just going to be ruined I may as well sell it on instead.

Just have someone coat it with a good quality clearcoat and you should be ok.

Hi, only just come across this thread, some amazing pics and video footage, thank you.

I apologise if it's already been asked (it took me about an hour to get through page 1 of the thread and I didn't have time to read all the pages!) but what kit do you use to make videos like this http://www.onno.is/thordur/almennt/Eurotour2007_2/... and how do you mount it in the car?

This is the unit I´m using: http://www.chasecam.com/recorders/PDR100
Bullet cam mounted on a bracket and the video recorder mounted under
the dash on the passenger side.
