Thanks for coming out with me Bladey. I learned alot tonight, although the wet weather probably flattered the open diff I managed to get a couple of fully drifty laps in before I put 4 people in the E36 and the tyre fell off.

It did 36 mpg on the way home as well

Thanks for organising the day, great day, shame my whole car setup was wrong for drifting...serious abuse of handbrake to get the back end out.

Back to the alignment shop.

It was good to chat last night - the handbrake seemed to be working well to get it to lose traction though ... and once lost did look good 8)

What a good night! 8) Thanks to the organisers. Is this going to become a regular thing? Please!

I had fun although my car wasn't quite well. (well thats my excuse

) The exhaust decided to literally fall off 15 miles of so from home so a big thank you for Phil for the tow. I'm sure it was worth it just to see me getting in and out of the car Dukes of Hazzard style! :-D

If this is to become regular thing, it would be awesome!

I wasn't sure about heading out at first, but once a few people had gone out, jumped in my car and queued!

A couple of times I forgot how many times I been round...oops! Think I did 4 or 5 laps once...sorry! Was determined to get a decent drift planted, however the smell of burning rubber on a wet day was brilliant!

Again, thank you for organising a great evening. I didn't stick around for the actual meet as I wanted to find my way home!! :lol:

Like someone else mentioned, this is also my first BP meet so all in all a great day.

Plus saw and talked to the owner of the AE86 (or was it an AE85?? I'm not clued up on them) which was great and seeing it drift was great!

Bigpower
