  • Wow - I went from not expecting to go at all this year to going on all three days!!

    A HUGE THANK YOU to Dave P for the Friday ticket and also for arranging the parade lap!

    And another HUGE THANKS to Martin and Stacey for getting me and my car in on Saturday for the parade lap!

    It was great meeting everyone and sharing our passion for these awesome cars!

    I'm no David Bailey and my camera phone isn’t the best but hopefully here are a few snaps from the day...

                • Well what a weekend that was, great weather, great company and loads of great cars/motorbikes.

                  I've posted a note up on Z3.org site to thank Stacy and Martin for the help in getting extra cars in for us over the weekend.

                  On a personal note I was able to get to explore more this year than the last couple of years, even got to meet two of my racing motorcycle heroes Freddie Spencer and Steve Parrish (showing my age now).

                  Many thanks Dave for doing all the organising for it, the parade lap was brilliant. All I have to do now sort my pics and video!!!!

                    • WOW,

                      looks like I missed the real excitement of the weekend.
                      Just booked Friday to get a taste of Silverstone Classic & showing off my coupe. Met Dave, Tony & Pete and had one of the best days out.
                      It was petrolhead heaven!!
                      Taking part in a parade lap would have just been icing on the cake, very envious, pics look great.
                      Might book the whole weekend next year.

                      • Ha, cheers for posting the video Martin. As Chris said earlier... the parade laps renewed my ‘must do a trackday in this’ feelings

                        • I've started working my way through my non-MC photos from the weekend, so if you're interested in that sort of thing, I'll be adding them to this album over the next few days:

                              Thank you! Had loads of fun wandering through the pit garages. It's incredible how close you can get so close to so many ace cars, and the teams were all so willing to talk, despite having cars to prep for racing.

                              And I never thought that I'd think a Jag XJ could look good

                              • Tony the pics are great from your "pit walk", I had a walk around myself and though the same as you about the team crews as to how accessible they were.

                                Would it be OK to put your flickr link up on the Z3.org site for the Z3 M Coupe pics? I tried to put one of your pics with a post I did but it didn't work.
