Any of you?

I know one at least - also got a 'Grale somewhere in Berkshire?!?

Anyroad - any E30 M3s fancy a blast down to the Nurburgring later this year? Wanna see how the Merc stacks up against its old sparring partner on mutual home turf!

Erm - dates...

Dunno - there's about 5 or 6 of us going, and it'll be nice and relaxed - so whenever everybody can agree a date - probably june or july.

Merc_Cosworth,

Have you got the article from Autocar 17/2/88 . Merc 190 2.3 vs E30 M3 vs Sapphire round Castle Combe in the wet?
E30 was second and a half quicker than the Merc - also interesting was the Performance Car Sapphire vs Merc 2.5-16 article in 1989. I reckon the 2.5 could be a little quicker than a non Evo M3 as it was a lot closer to the Sapphire than the extra 20 bhp would suggest.
