hi guys, sorry for the lack of updates. i have been overseas on holidays recently and only now getting back on top of things/email.

as you all know the trackday course is three weeks away. you should have all paid the balance / full amount by now, so i will post up the list of paid drivers (as confirmed with John Bowe Driving) in the next few days. you've only got a couple of weeks to do servicing, check all fluids, tires and pads, so please get on to this asap. you don't want to be doing that sort of stuff the night or morning before the event! hopefully no one has any problems at this point.

you should all have received a confirmation email and invoice/receipt from Dean at John Bowe Driving by now.

i just need to hear back from Red Back (sorry, i don't know his real name) and Chalon as to whether they have paid the balance and received their receipt from Dean at John Bowe Driving. if anyone knows how to get hold of them quickly to confirm, please let me know!

cheers

I dropped off my car at Manta on Monday with a LONG list of things to get fixed before this event. I dread the bill I am going to receive but I need my 4WD, ABS, PFC, intercooler, brake ducts and engine working properly plus a stack of other things. The rest can wait until after the big day. Hopefully the GTR will be ready and I won't have to take the Pug.

      My BMW 335i

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
