Superb write up, thanks for posting. Definately gives Stu's a run for the money! 
Loving the pics too especially the Carrera GT
Out of interest, how do you got with the 19's on track. Do you have fairly stiff springs to minimise roll/scrubbing?
I was just planning on use my stock 17's on mine with semi comps for the track and 18's for road but have seen 18's catch with the wrong off set even on stock ride height.

? The 19s were only used to get there and back, 18s were used on track

I saw the Green GT3 that he was tustling with - enjoyed very much pissing past it in my shonky old Sierra (prior to early doors failure).
Most impressive about the mx5 was that the top of the drivers helmet was higher than both the screen and the roll cage - fuck that!

I thought that BMW M3 was wrapped - could be wrong tho - he posts on the Mtorque.com forums all the time. He has some G-meter drift box in it and regularly gets 100% from it at the ring.
He is the one that goes on about not needing anything but standard brakes etc.
Looks like a good trip - If u add up how much money you can also spend preparing ur car in advance for that trip and then add the cost of the trip itself it can be VERY scary.

Excellent write up Si, love the look of your car with the plate and 19's on it too!
Bet you never had much boot space with another set of tyres in there! We went to Le Mans this year in my mates Evo 8 MR FQ320, had the fucker filled to the brim with clothes and shit!
I'm hoping to go in Easter, can't wait!

great write up si
evo looks awesome on those 19's! i really like the bbs wheels and suit evo's perfectly! how are 19's for everyday use? Any catching/rubbing issues at all?
i didnt know it was a 260 you had. At least it doesnt have the gay wee spoiler what power is she running and what mods? And rough price if you dont mind?

Not very good, as i was actually taking it of JJ in front aqnd never realised you were there, but it is still proof nonetheless!
Fantasitc shot of your car, unfortunately its not your car and its not you driving.... i thought i had got a great pic of you!!!
Another pic of JJ despatching an errant e34 m5 that wanted to play with his car muncher!

And one to make you chuckle from Adenauer Forst of a Porsche getting it wrong on the Drew straight.
Great watching Sabine sliding through there from lock to lock, picture perfect everytime, great....

Yup still reading... one cup of coffe later
Sounds like you had a good trip!
Costs seem spot on to me: except for the amount of fuel used see why I don't convoy over with you lot? Even in the Scooby I managed to get from Newbury to the Ring on 1.5 tanks lol!
I can't wait to go next year... early in the year (not Easter as I really doubt it will be open that early) and then again in August for my 30th Bday!!
