Nice video - I took a few pictures - don't know if any of these are BP - except the Volvo!

And my car - which lasted 40 miutes of track time before suspension broke:

40 min's, as long as that, I lasted 15mins on the first session before my coolant began to boil and engine overheat

I had to wait for about an hour between sessions and then go out for about only 10mins at a time.

I took one of the lads out from the base and had to go round at a fairly sedate speed to stop overheating, I think he thought his granny could drive faster

I beleive one of the white skylines was actually Ian's.

Apart from the lower rider look - your Cobra is a thing of beauty!!.

Oh no! Which car were you then?

There were a few casualties over the weekend it seems. Two Lambourghinis, the Ferrari F40, your car, my car & many other minor problems. Good weekend though.

Thank you very much - it needs new suspension all round as can't risk that happening on the road & hopefully it'll be back working & along to the drifting at Snetterton & monthly meet on 9th May. I could always come drifting in the Smart if it's not....... :lol:

I was there on the Sunday, the miserable looking git standing next to a black Skyline with a pool of coolant making its way down the pit area

I still haven't managed to work out what has caused it.... Should be going in for diagnosing next week though.

I did hear rumour that there would be another day within the next few months... Will keep everyone posted if I hear anymore.

There are two Marham days per year - the second one is in September but could be first two weeks of October depending upon the station activities. The second one is usually boiling hot (like last weekend!) & draws out a bigger range of exotica - which also means that it gets booked up pretty quickly too.

I did it in 2006 when they had an Enzo & Carrera GT - the same chap that owned the F40 on Sunday.
