    Default E34 Sydney Meet - Plenty of pics

    Just a short writeup. It was hot today, about 35+ degree celcuis or 90+ in the old money. Romus, Bimmerman and Paul and I met Greg about 11:30am and Greg told us that we could get some photos done at the skid pan. The drivers club was only using the track so we ventured down there.

    The threes car lined up for our first pics.



    We had plenty of area to play with and test the limits of our cars in a closed, safe environment. This area is normally used as a skid pan and for driver training.



    Paul let me drive his 525i



    Romus gave the 5 speed a bit of a whirl.

    Not to be out-done I showed Romus how the car handled and later on in the day, I gave Wingman (Tony) an Zeuk in Oz (Bo) a ride also.

    The car still doesn't bottom out


    Part of the skid pan area


    It understeers a lot, just no grip at speed.


    Enough of the foreplay, time to take some pics on the track.


    Still more pics to follow....
