Well it really has been far too long since I last updated this but i've had a bit of time off from cars over winter. No recent upgrades as the car is 99% exactly where I want it.
I managed to get in one trackday before I put the car away for a couple of months, this time was at Oulton Park. My first time there and what an incredbile circuit, almost my favorite closely behind Cadwell.
I decided to treat myself to a new daily too, I've always liked the BMW F series so I went and picked up this 2014 F31 316d touring. Makes for the perfect daily and plenty of spae for any possible car part collections!
I'm getting right back into it now after a bit of a break, although I wont be doing any Nurburgring trips this year, I have just booked a trackday at the awesome Zandvoort in Holland for 1st June! I'll leave some random pics below.

I did Zandvoort in March, you will LOVE it. It really works for our powered cars and the handling. If you've not booked anywhere I recommend the centre parcs hotel. 2 minutes from track (you can see it from your room) and fuel on site isnt badly priced. Honestly up with one of my fave tracks now.
As for the ring I am having a year off also and I am not missing it the place isnt the same.
I see that a certain someone is off with lots of other lads at the ring so hope your well after all of that

I have heard that a few times now so it should be mega fun in the Lupo! As for the ring I am having a year off also and I am not missing it the place isnt the same.

I agree, it’s changed loads since I first went 5 years ago and definitely preferred it back then.
Haha yeah, no comment on that! But I’m all good cheers!
The latest little change for the Lupo, I decided the exhaust was a tad loud (must be getting old) so went and see my mate at Motion Fabrication to have a bigger centre resonator fitted. It now sound exactly how I wanted it, still sounds great on full chat but hardly any drone in the car at 70mph. Also is a really nice balance of intake/exhaust noise. I’ll leave a quick clip below
