After a break from one trackday I was not going to miss the next. My good friend Mick just collected his new E92 M3 which you can see from a previous post and he was keen to give it a good thrashing. So 3 days after the break in service was done to the V8 monster we headed out for the 11th July VIP trackday.

Previously I had intended to skip this trackday, stupidly I calculated what my spend on the car was since I got it 4 months ago, shocking.

That is my rational anyway.
