Our late comer became the centre of attraction, quite literally (since everyone had to walk pass Ali's to get into our trade area)....and the Z is quite an enticing object of desire especially with the side skirts 0.5cm off the ground.

There are other cars around but most of them were what we see on the streets. However, there were a few that made me sacrifice store watching for photography....

I've always loved well mantained and clean E30s

Thanks for sharing [ok , you couldn't of picked a better day for it!

Plenty of fine looking machines there, as well as a fine looking Evotechnik lady!!! [hiya

[Mikedav]

Gutted I missed this one... better start modding and get to next years :)

That coupe in Topaz (Raj?) looks spot on in the sunshine!

Cars look mint guys, anyone wanna send me those CSL reps in the shot? You know, just to get me started...

[Shuriken]

Looks like a cracking day! That ET area all looked very professional. [ok

Great pics from everyone too, nice one. :)

[pete]

liking the new sig ali


looks like u guys had a fun time

[MistaSmiff]

..Missed yet another great meet by the looks of things :mad:

Well done to all the Evotechnik crew for getting this sorted, looked like a great turn out and all the cars looked amazing, especially the black ones ;)

...roll on the next meet, hopefully I'll be able to make this one :o

[cool [cool

[Raj]

What a great day (and I mean GRRRREAT [jam ). The weather was absolutely smashing (it realy couldn't have been any better). It really gave a me a chance to clean to the MAX :D . Was absolutley shattered though after spending all those hourse cleaning/baking in the sun (especially as I forgot my cap and don't have hair to protect my poor bald head :p ).

The EvoT crew did a sweet job with the marques and cars on display.

@Sarah - You are a nutta (in the best sense of the word lol :D ). Nice driving though. I at least had one moment of glory when I took you both (even though it was only for a second or two :D ).
@Ali - Seriously lovin' the Z. I thought Lee's cars was low :eek: . Will be ordering the chrome BBS centre caps today as well :D .
@Russ - Great to meet you and your better half ;) . Like the pics, but I really wasn't cleaning that much was I. Maybe I did go a little too far with taking the rims off to clean the insides and line all the BBS caps level (but then again maybe NOT :D ). I like the one with Sophie looking at me probably thinking, YOU'RE MAD YOU ARE? LOL
@Mike - Cheers for the compliment (good to now all the hard work pays off).

When I get home later, I'll post up the pics I took up on the thread.

[benny boy]

well looks like i missed a great day oh well never mind maybe next time did your ware you new shoes sarah :)

[Doc Matt]

I now look like a partially baked lobster :eek: . Cleanest my car has ever been, but filthy now after the blast back up the M40 :)

BTW, Lee's S/C'd 330 stuck to my M3 like GLUE, its only when you get to around 130-140 that the space lengthens. Sarah deffo knows how to handle that car and cheekily but cleverly took me on the inside whilst i was stuck behind a bloody volvo. :eek:

Got to about 169mph then realised the cars infront were coming up real fast. [bang Those brakes, mmmmm :D

I'm glad i drive like that just a few times a year [bang

Raj got one over us by taking us both at the same time showing brains is better than speed :D

Lee, your exhaust is so loud, being in a vert i can hear it loads :)

Got to admire big Fas's selling techniques.

Customer: How much is that?
Fas: 30 quid
Man: What?? bloke over there selling them for £20?
Fas: How much you got?
Man: £15
Fas: OK, u got a deal

Classic :D

[sonny.j.h]

What a fantastic day, awsome cars and top weather!

You guys had a pukka stand with a selection of nice cars, good too meet you Fas and nick, its been awhile and also any one else who I met!

It was great to finally see the Evotechnik crew in the flesh. Pictures do not do those cars justice [bow [bow [bow

Thanks to Teddy for the couple of mods I bought. Just silver indicator bulbs and xenon look headlights. Not huge mods but make such a difference. [bow

What a top day!!

[Raj]

Raj got one over us by taking us both at the same time showing brains is better than speed :D


Well, I do my best. Have to make up for the lack of power over some of you peeps :D

All those hours of cleaning and after the blast home the inside of my wheels were dirty again :( (but then they are mean't to be driven hard ;) [banana ).

Teddy's selling skills were amusing as well. Arm round my shoulder pulls me in close and whispers in my ear.........

PLEASE BUY THE INDUCTION KIT OFF ME, i DON'T WANNA TAKE IT BACK WITH ME......I'LL EVEN FIT NOW FOR YOU!!!! [crackmeup [crackmeup [crackmeup

Have to say though, after some bargaining skills on both sides (I'm Indian through and through you know :D ), I agreed, and now have one of Teddy's carbon fibre intakes to help with MY OH SO QUIET EXHAUST lol lol lol...

@FAS,ALI,NICK,LEE and any of you other guys yesterday - My car is NOT an X5 lol and my exhaust is not that quiet lol. You guys crack me up. You wait till the next meet. I may just surprise you ;)

[SarahJane]

Excallent!!!!!!!! Cant wait for the next!!!!!!!!!

[Roshan]

Hello All

Glad to have found this site - I visited the stands yesterday and some good displays / products.

Particular thanks to Raj from Wolverhampton who advised on where to get updated M syling for new E46. His 328ci looked great - I shall be paying a visit to BM Styling soon.... Raj if you see this post, or anybody else for that matter do you still have the original E46 folding mirrors ? I know that you mentioned that you had sold the replica M3 for original but if the original coupe folding ones are around please let me know.

Keep up the good work guys and I shall keep you posted of my progress with the car.

[Ali]

Hahaha

I remember taking that wrong turning and reversing... LOL

I showed up a bit late and was trying to get to the ET stand which was proving very damn difficult! :D

[uberbmw]

LOL! It looks well nice, so damn low! Jealousy will get me nowhere :rolleyes: :D

[RDG 40]

Yes Raj i have to say you do clean that much, i thort at one point you were going to polish the tarmac around your car so it looked even cleaner lol.

Awesome pics guys.

[lee330sport]

Great day guys.

My new business is going to be seting up tents, me and Fas are soo damned good at it:rolleyes: .....lmao

Im burnt to a crisp and still shaking from Sarah's drive home:eek:

Matt, Raj your cars were looking sweet. Raj you need a Cherry bomb exhaust for yours!

The Evotechnik/SSDD stands looked spot on.

Roll on the next meet.

[richbe]

Gutted I live so far away, looks great guys, congrats all round. Will move down south again in the next couple of years :D

[Vert]

I can't believe I missed out! I've never been to Gaydon and wow! The pictures are amazing! And I'm one to hit any big events with my camera!

Awesome pictures from everyone. I'm soooo jealous! :(

[uberbmw]

Shak I was looking out for you, thought you would of been down there mate. Next year eh :)

[peppernick]

@FAS,ALI,NICK,LEE and any of you other guys yesterday - My car is NOT an X5 lol and my exhaust is not that quiet lol. You guys crack me up. You wait till the next meet. I may just surprise you ;)
Whoa Raj.....Even the X5 will yearn for that kind of ground clearance :D :D :D :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v725/Gman21_uk/Picture3036.jpg

[lee330sport]

Whoa Raj.....Even the X5 will yearn for that kind of ground clearance :D :D :D :D

Ooooo, i knew that was coming......[crackmeup [crackmeup

[MistaSmiff]

Whoa Raj.....Even the X5 will yearn for that kind of ground clearance :D :D :D :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v725/Gman21_uk/Picture3036.jpgLOL..I didn't want to say anything before but I think the addition of splitters does make it appear higher.

[Tin]

wow.. excellent pics and turnout, shame i couldn't make it...EvoT stands and whole display look very professional! nice one to all! [ok [jam

[BigFas]

LOL. Poor Raj :)

X5 ground clearance, an exhaust that doesn't make any noise, but the good mind to put the intake on :D

For those of you that weren't there yesterday, Raj got RIPPED :D but he's a good egg

[Doc Matt]

Lol we both should have stayed in the show and shine area hey Raj?

We get our car tyres all dirty on the grass, avoiding the lumps and bumps to say hi to the guys and they did that to you???

And you even made a purchase from Ted too !!

[Raj]

Welcome Roshan.

Glad you found the site. Will have to meet up in Wolves at some point. Sorry though, I don't have the mirrors anymore. You need to start a new thread and post some pics of your pride and joy though. You'll learn how it works round here ;) :D

[Raj]

But Lee if I get a cherry bomb it would out do you matey (and I wouldn't want to do that to you :D ).

You guys crack me up :D :D :D . I don't mind. The real truth behind why it looks like that is because the air suspension was broke so I couldn't lower it again :D . That's my excuse anyway, and I'm sticking to it :p .

Personal thought "...before the next meet I just need to get some air suspension fitted now....." :D :D :D

[Raj]

Lol we both should have stayed in the show and shine area hey Raj?

Yeah you're right there... :D


We get our car tyres all dirty on the grass, avoiding the lumps and bumps to say hi to the guys and they did that to you???

Especially after I spent about 4 hours cleaning her.


And you even made a purchase from Ted too !!

But I still haven't paid him yet LOL :D
Only joking Teddy, I posted the cheque off today ;) .

[pete323]

Great to meet some of you on sunday
Thanks to Fas for pointing everyone out
Some really nice cars on display on your stand,Nice to see them close up instead of in pics

[BeemerBoy888]

Looked like a great day, well done guys, been so busy lately but hope to catch up with everyone soon [jam

[All ON U]

Hi Guys,

I had a fantastic day meeting everyone apart from getting done speeding on the motorway. See all you guys soon.

All ON U

[Doc Matt]

lol Rossi, now i understand.

All on U, what happened on the motorway?

me and Sarah Jane & Lee were tanking it 150+ but didn't see any police thank god (m40 north)

[All ON U]

lol Rossi, now i understand.

All on U, what happened on the motorway?

me and Sarah Jane & Lee were tanking it 150+ but didn't see any police thank god (m40 north)

Man I was gunning the car at 145 then decided to ease a bit. Slowed down to 131 and suddenly there was a police car came from nowhere. I slammed the brakes and he clocked me at 111! Got a ticket and waiting to see what happens.

[Raj]

me and Sarah Jane & Lee were tanking it 150+ but didn't see any police thank god (m40 north)

I was nearly keeping up :p 140 and then that was it :D

[Raj]

Man I was gunning the car at 145 then decided to ease a bit. Slowed down to 131 and suddenly there was a police car came from nowhere. I slammed the brakes and he clocked me at 111! Got a ticket and waiting to see what happens.

That's unlucky. At least you managed to slow down slightly...

[Doc Matt]

clocked me at 111! Got a ticket and waiting to see what happens.

Depending on magistrate and if first time offence, you will most likely get a 2 month ban, 6 points and a £220 fine :(

Sorry to have to break it to you dude.

[Doc Matt]

I was nearly keeping up :p 140 and then that was it :D

Was Rik crapping his pants, or cool as a cuecumber?

[Tricky Richy]

It was a superb day. [cool
And there was me tootling up the M45 towards the M1 at 130 and thought I should slow down a bit.

I must get a faster car. :)

[Raj]

Was Rik crapping his pants, or cool as a cuecumber?

Matt, he was loving what you and Sarah were doing and only wished i had a little more power to keep up properly. He was very cool about it :D . He was the one telling me to undertake when I had the chance (but there was no need as that was my plan anyway ;) :D ).

[RDG 40]

you boys with your 6 pots jus wait till me and fas and atif get with ya we'l be overtaking you all, 4 pot power! ( he says in a dream world) lol

[Doc Matt]

And the wife was ok with the new purchase?

[Raj]

And the wife was ok with the new purchase?

What she doesn't know won't hurt her. It was only a small white lie. Said it had been fitted for a while but just only told her about it now :D .

[Afif]

you boys with your 6 pots jus wait till me and fas and atif get with ya we'l be overtaking you all, 4 pot power! ( he says in a dream world) lol

yea exactly i got back from scotland in 4 hours :cool:. Imagine if i had another 2 cylinders :eek: :D :D..... think id be paying a visit to a magistrate [crackmeup.
