Write Up Silverstone Classic Weekend - July 2016

Hello who was you? I was the nut case trying to get all the Zeds together to make the parade lap look awesome

And a really good job you were doing despite the club officials who had no idea how to organise a display! Thanks for all your efforts to get us organised.

I really wanted all us Zroadster people together
I managed to get a few of our Zeds including mine moved to help get more of the coupes together and we managed 5 of us Z3 on Sunday and that was it
The stand was a bloody mess!!

I went on the Sunday courtesy of @BMBabe and Martin. They both know how grateful we were, Also to @Brian4 who got me a pass that allowed me on to the stand and parade lap.

What a fantastic day we had. Great people in great cars bought together by this great forum..Fantastic.
Stacey was the star of the day organising everything best she could and generally being a nuisance to the organisers.
I think at one point they offered her a job..

Highlight of the summer for me so far and so looking forward to Zedfest.

Well done for trying. We did end up in a couple of squadrons of zed which looked cool. It just goes to show that you can't trust officials to organise a cup of tea in a tea shop.

Hi , thank @roadvoyager1 for introducing me to this website, @BMBabe mine was the silver 2.2 sport , that you waved over , the one with the Mbumper and mirrors , couldn't afford a real Z3M back in 2002 as I was only 26 when I ordered it , I will do a right up for you and try and dig out the photos of it being delivered to the house when it was new and not even registered with the Dvla , many thanks Stuart Sutton

I did try my best to get some of you guys not easy up in the stands with cars whizzing past.
Glad I managed to get a few.

My Pictures (well my Camera)
Near the back, only just made the grid

Z's on parade

Sunny on track

Zorg ahead

Off we go, "its show time"

Gentle pace, A Maserati pace car,over 100 BMW drivers and a race track. Redefine Gentle!

No passing allowed, "Sorry"

BMW Drivers going round the bend

All the fun of the fair

Over all too quickly

Back to the pits

Just three other BMW's that took my eye

If you've made it this far, hope you liked the pictures

Love it ,

Taken a while, but I have now made my recording of the parade lap into a simple video.

Starring @Stuart Sutton, @petecossie ,@Rob-with-Rosie and @Russell O .

Seems very pedestrian pace but we were up to 50mph in many places and I saw 80mph briefly on the international pit straight.

Hey look it's @DirtyDog finally at his first proper Zed meet
Thanks to a not to be mentioned Insurance company I used to work for I managed to receive a spare Stand pass

Nice one! My Z4 sandwiched in between the two white M3's - my son's M3 on the right as you look at them.
