First time I've been to this annual event and it was well worth the trip.

Great drive down with five Z3m coupe's in convoy :drive

Gary "the fish" was successfully "shamed" into washing his car (I have no idea were he keeps the bucket of water though :shock: )

Great pics Guys and what a great day :D

I wanted to leave the car muddy from Saturdays Run just to be different but was badgered into washing it :lol:

Even managed to have two serious dents removed by Dent Devils @ £35 each..Bargain :D :D

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

and I was seen hovering around the airbox as well but could not figure out how to remove it without being seen :D

More info re cost including MAF delete would be good for an S54 Z3m :wink:

ps best colour choice as well :colourful:

I'd lost count, but checking back this was my 8th year of Gaydon.
It was good to catch up with folk again

I was impressed by the line-up of Z3 Coupes (55 I believe)

Here are a selection of my photos (obviously Scottish Region biased)
