We formed a small club display and had a very relaxed day, with some great action on the famous hill climb. Co-ordinated by Regional Chairman Tim Maltby, assisted by Alpina guru Simon Alcorn, they rustled up a great selection of cars. Tim - E28 535i Trackmiester Simon - E30 Alpina Steve H - E12 M535i Steve - E30 325i Trackmiester Mark - E21 M50 Martin - E3 PWP - E30 325i Plus we were joined at the last minute by E30 LO in his stunning M3 (sorry, forgotten you name). Unfortunatley it looks likely that this event will clash with Gaydon next year, which is a shame.... We met up on route Wessex Region Display Steve tackles the hill climb There were a few off's and mechanical failures This Berg Cup Golf was stunningly quick and sounded awesome - 2.0 16v on throttle bodies, sequential gearbox and what sounded like c.8.5k rev limit - what a screamer! Yet again, we had a fun run home in convoy More pics to follow! Cheers, Martin. Edited by BMW250L - 23 Aug 2011 at 11:50pm |

Very enjoyable day and a nice display of BMW's.
So nice in fact, that I just found myself buying a set of triple 45's after seeing Martins E3. Went home with quite a tan too. It was great to see the motorway littered with so many nice cars amongst the usual dross.
