Hi Claire! I had a terrific weekend just past (except I had to take the Missus) meeting up with my eldest daughter and her partner at Rockingham Motor Speedway for a V8 SuperCar Driving Experience. Operated by a great team of people, excellent instructors and all round great fun. If it wasn't for the fact that we are off on a fairly pricey holiday next week, I would definitely have paid for extra laps. Was just getting going properly with right lines, apexes, etc, when it was over!

Am now looking ahead to July or August, going to take the old 328 on a track day to Keevil or Hullavington on a set of spare wheels with Toyo Proxes on, put into practise what I learnt and see if I can get round faster than I used to in the ole' Primera GT or Supra. Should be fun.

Omg! You're going to have loads of fun

Hi Claire,

Hope you're well! I've been busy busy busy with study as it's in the middle of exam period. Still having to deal with motor related stuff though! Today I was dealing with a very poorly new-shape VW beetle belonging to my sister. Makes me feel happy to own a BMW working on that thing I tell ya..

Not sure what is meant by "Got to say the people on here don't seem very enthusiastic about much". We're a group of BMW "Enthusiasts" who tend to spend more time under them, tweaking them then on forums. This place is simply a meeting of those minds. I'm pretty proud of our club.

You got me! :) I am indeed the original and genuine Old Git! :rolleyes:

AND I've got two daughters with my second (and still current, lol) wife, one of them I taught right up to within half a dozen lessons of her test, and the second one I took out once and then sent to an instructor. (They both passed first time too!)

Moving on to a list of cars I've owned, not even gonna try, but my very first car was a 1947 Ford Prefect with a new MOT which cost me £12.50. Or £12 and 10 shillings in original money!

How much?...lol:)

mmmm very nice, it gets my vote!

thank you x

Bruce don't start on about how old you are 'cos Jeffthro will start on about OAP's again. God, I remember my daughters first lesson, she nearly killed us both, never took her out again.

Perhaps you both should compile a definitive list of what cars you've owned and when. May become a best seller lol ;-)

Good idea! Lol

I know the feeling. Im on car number 50 odd. That plus around 10 bikes (not allowed one since I got married 20 odd years ago).

When I first started driving in 1979 (goes to show how old I am) i used to buy a car for a few hundred pounds and change it every three months. Before I got married I had two cars (one main car and a project car) as well as a bike on the go. Marriage really does change things. Still I have my own car and the wifes car is always the one that I use to tinker with.

Now the daughter has had a first driving lesson she wants one as well. Guess who will have to pay for it?

O bless her hope the lesson went well:) better get her something tidy lol. I don't want 2 count how many I've had and the money I spent..lol

Wow there is some tasty motors there Claire, think you need to go into car rehab if its that much of a problem!
