Luckily for all of us fanatics it was Charles that went for the trip, and we could all enjoy his lovely write-up skills and his love for taking photo's... Well done man:thumbsup:, bet you missed the Twinz greatly...

Hi Marcel...Of course i realised you were just a short distance from the Ring and hesitated to contact you in advance due to the Ash cloud bedevelling airlines all over Europe.

I also had to cancel my visit to Tony in London for the same reason...so much wanted to experience his 335 with bigger turbos...hear it is making huge dyno numbers. :thumbsup:

You car looks great on the Ring...envy you guys. As mentioned in my email, i plan to attend the launch of the M5 in geneva next year and would love if we could meet there and then off to the Ring again...far away but i am licking my lips to see the car in the metal again...without its disguise.

And oh yes, congrats on the Bilstein B16 ride control :thumbsup::thumbsup:

No need to hesitate! I would have greatly welcomed the opportunity to meet up with you. AND you could have made some laps with my car!

Thanks! There's still a slight problem with the car right now due to the Bilstein (steering wheel sensor got a whack and now everything has to be recalibrated), but it feels great so far. Thanks a lot to you for letting me try this out, that has counted a lot in my decision to get this!

Need to chat to you about fitting the M3 control arms in 335.

I can't wait for the final verdict from Tony on the piggyback tune for his upgraded turbos. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Don't want any flash on my car...so no big turbos until this has been acomplished :thinker:

Absolutely amazing twinz! The pics are stunning and by the sounds of it, you had as much fun as a 5yr old on christmas morning

I so badly wish I could do the same, just need to figure out who's kidneys I'm going to flog on the black market

 

[Twinz]

Freerider, sure you could gather from my sms's that i was out of my "joints"...a really great experience and a life long dream that was fullfilled :thumbsup:
