Parked in the works car park today. No idea who’s it is, assume it’s legit as it comes up as a 1.6 but my knowledge on them is very limited unfortunately

Bloody hell, I’m surprised at that! Must’ve been practically rebuilt 😂

I might be getting confused, but is that not the same one from the Grand Tour? Guessing it can't be seeing as they chopped it up, but the CNT numberplate makes me think it is as I vaguely remember them joking about it...

Still f***s be off that when my 430D was nicked, I only got a £15k payout (plus a little more with the ombudsman’s help). That was nearly 3 years ago, it was only on around 50k at the time and had practically every desirable option 😡

Let's hope you're not the one I accidentally take out in to the sea with me then :ROFLMAO:

Again, awesome, thank you. Loosely on topic (and excuse my ignorance if this has been posted somewhere already), but will there be any "professional" photography on the day? Wouldn't mind a few nice photos to remember it by after I've binned it in to the sea.

Well I'm definitely glad I asked then as I didn't know that. Makes sense though I guess! And honestly, that would be awesome, thank you! 🙏

Without wishing to come across as sounding tight (which I am, mainly due to ///M tax killing me off), do any of you beautiful, kind souls happen to have a go-pro and mount that I could borrow for a few laps during CSF? I may buy one in the future, but not likely just for this. Was going to get...

@leeds_182 Does it have the pro nav or business nav? Business nav doesn't have sport dials, so I'm assuming this would be why...

Ahh OK. I don't know whether the 3's are different to the 4's then, but mine was a 2014 pre-facelift and did have them.

By no means a sure fire way of checking, but what numbers do you have displayed on the iDrive sport dials? And what number do they supposedly go up to under full load? Might tell you whether it's been messed with or not.

I've said this before, but for real world driving my 430D was a better can than my M4 and probably the "best" car I've owned. Plenty quick enough, handled well for a wafty diesel, cheap as chips to run and it never let me down. Not a single repair (that I can think of anyway) in nearly 5 years...

No chance for me to get a photo of it, but a gorgeous racing green and yellow-striped Caterham came absolutely HOONING past me earlier today. Must have a death wish though given the speed he was driving, and without a helmet.

Most likely, yeah. I think I let them sit with salt on for too long over the winter unfortunately. They actually usually come up OK after a regular clean, but now the warm and sunny weather is here they've deteriorated more. Or at least that's how it seems.

Can anyone recommend something to smarten up the carbon tips on my exhaust? They’re hard to get to properly, but they’re starting to look s**t now. Photo isn’t great but gives an idea what they’re like:

Tonight's job will be removing the never ending army of bugs that have decided to die on my windscreen. I gave it a thorough clean only Friday, but you can't tell. I don't remember it being this bad in recent years!

I'm starting to rethink the need for track insurance... :ROFLMAO:

I suspect I'll be approaching that crest at well over a tonne (or could be, with some balls), so I'll be having to make sure I don't outbrake myself tbh :ROFLMAO:

That's definitely the kind of vibe I'm hoping for so all sounds good. And thank you, might end up taking you up on that offer, we'll see. Will have a watch of your video later, too!

TBH that's sort of what I was hoping/expecting. I watched your YT video over the weekend from one of the previous years and it looked quite relaxed.

How many are likely to actually be on the track this year? Realistically I won't be pushing all that hard as a) it'll be my first time, and b) I'd like to have some rubber and pad left at the end of the day. If the on-track numbers are likely to be fairly low, I'll probably just chance it to...

Between £1250 and £1600 depending on which one I pick.

Famous last words... :ROFLMAO: Haha, well that's at least one person she can moan to about how childish we all are with our silly toy cars

The M4 might only be worth 25p once I’m finished with it 😂 So maybe £200 well spent

Oh really? That's crazy! But fair enough then, probably me just me being too hopeful. I was thinking nearer £100 tbf

Are there any recommendations for track day insurance? I've tried a few online including Moris, Brentacre etc. but they're all coming in around £200. Maybe I'm expecting too much or am out of touch, but seems a bit pricey to me...? Oh and on a separate note, I've booked a ticket for the gf to...

Spotted my first one over the weekend. I wasn't a fan of their choice of alloy (reminded me of some Halfrauds/Wolfrace type wheels from the early 2000's) but it looked pretty cool. Bigger than I'd perhaps expected, too. Shite photo, sorry:

Very noble of you to post this spot

I genuinely believe mine is more likely to incriminate me rather than anyone else, so I leave it unplugged 99% of the time :ROFLMAO:

Just my two pence, but echoing what @Sash has suggested I would 100% forget about trying to claim via his own insurance and go straight to theirs. I did this many years back when a neighbour hit my Golf by somehow driving across my drive (pretty sure I posted on here about it at the time)...
