Thanks Matt for up loading and posting.

I had not been to the 24 before only the Classic 24 last year, i have to say it was fantastic!

I will be going again no problem and may even go camping

 

[conaero]

Paul, which one would you say is better?

I have always done the 24hr, but next year we are doing the classic, a month later.

I have always done the 24hr, but next year we are doing the classic, a month later.

The Classic is my favourite out of the two events, though there is not much between it.

Last year at the classic there was a race/heat each hour so there was something different to see ongoing, plus the history that goes with with all the cars is magical.

Plus, when travelling down to Le Mans with all the classic cars etc it is possibly better than the track event itself....

Like any event though if the weather, accomodation and the company is good then you can't go wrong.

 

[deano]

why not do both events,though fuel might be an issue.lol

Halfway there

 

[GransportFan1]

They are about 120k in this country Dem. Top555 cars have one for sale.

 

[dem maser]

I mean halfway there with the M3.....your turning

 

[GransportFan1]

I dont mind the GTS.

For what a good E92 with a DCT costs

i would rather one of these, i know you dont like them but they are a brilliant car and the grip is amazing, stick the road like glue.

What i like about the Audi and the Merc C63 is you can tell it is the top of the range model, the M3 looks no different from a 335i until you notice the 4 exhausts.



I have a feeling you wont want to speak to me now
