Just got back from todays stages. It was awesome, Tony Quinn was leading into the last stage followed by the Lamborghini Gallardo, first BMW was an e36 M3 in 7th. all these positions are at the start of todays last stage so they could have changed.

Spectating was very difficult today as the organisers werent expecting anyone to spectate on friday, tomorrow will be awesome, one spectator point that looks over two stages.

Some very memorable moments today, the shriek of the Lamborghini, the metallic roar of the M3s. the throaty bellow of the 635csi. A few near misses too. The yellow F355 sideways towards a large tree, only just caught it. Also a big old XA? Falcon being thrown around, narrowly missing trees.

All the BMW's I noticed in order.

-e36 M3 (red)
-2002 (red, awesome little thing, beating many a Porsche)
-e46 M3 (grey, complete with scrape up the side)
-e46 M3 (black)
-e46 M3 (black, these three M3's were all together with an C class AMG in the mix.)
-e24 635csi (Inka, sounded magnificent)
-e30 323i (navy blue 4dr)
-e28 525 (Inka, had a "525" badge and a "AUTOMATIC" badge, but looked like it went harder than a 525 auto)

(Hope i didn't forget any)

A top day all around, tomorrow should be good also.

I love seeing exotic cars all stone chipped with scratched wheels, feathered tyres, scraped front bumpers. You just know they've been doing what they're designed to do

Sorry no pics, really should get a digi cam

What did you guys think of today?

I saw both your cars but didn't get a chance to meet up, did you stay till the last car came through? Cars were both looking awesome.

Any Pics?

Yeah Rob & I drove down for the day, good run down & back, but a long day.

Was great to see all the different machines, we were at the esses, at a tv camera location, I have a whole pile of pics to go thru and some video to cut up and edit back together.

We hung round for the last cars to come thru, then headed home.

I'll post up a couple of pics later.

Cheers,
Iain.

I'm going to organise one more towards the end of the year, I was originally aiming for September but theres already 3 other things happening in the Events forum.

Maybe in October/November.. even in December, would be good to finish off '05 with a huge cruise!
