Hi Myredzed,

Thanks for the efforts you and others made in preparation for what turned out to be a fantastic day

. I will look at posting a few pics tomorrow.

Have to say the Zeds looked stunning, those who were able to attend today did the marque proud !

And as for the weather, just about to apply another splash of aftersun

.

What a day - Brilliant...Brilliant... Brilliant.

And here are some more that I took avoiding the Lotuses that nearly slid into (and definitely sprayed mud) onto some of us! Well done to BMWCCGB for getting us firmly on the old track - it would have been miserable on the bank!

Anyway - here are a selected few of my images to help commemorate what was an amazing day especially lining up on the new start/finish straight.

For some reason I could not upload them to the forum so I have put them on a Picasa WebAlbum and anyone with the link may view and add others.

Here is the link... https://picasaweb.google.com/psmr.68/Si ... directlink

Here is my selection, just want to say a big thanks to everyone who came over and said hello - Jontt, Titan, Hornel, PeterandJenny, Brian H, whiteminks, robert T, boysie, Gazza (and many more - sorry if i've missed you off!) you made the whole experience for me - its always a bit intimidating turning up on your own! nice to finally put some names to faces etc..

A good day out.

Was I the only one whose foot slipped off their clutch pedal on the starting grid

?

This lad drove the lead AC Cobra on their parade lap. A very approachable guy, who was signing autographs and having his photo taken with everyone and anyone before the procession.

There was a row of about 20 F40s at the Ferrari enclosure. One of them was F40 NPG. I got quite excited when I saw it coming towards me, but the excitement waned when I saw that the driver was not the owner

.

It was great to be able to walk though the garages while the mechanics were working on the cars. Lots of auto-exotica in various states of undress and no G4S to stop you having a letch

.

Also, 1:27.528 on the AA's F1 simulator.

I somehow got a very nice parking spot for the morning:

Fantastic weekend, my Zeddie stayed at home as we went in my husbands Cobra. The parade lap was brilliant and I must admit I did wish I was in my Zed when you were going round but to do it in the Cobra was awesome and we went round three times and not always at the 30mph limit

seasurfer · Post by **seasurfer** » Tue 24 Jul, 2012 22:28

Hi, had a fantastic weekend, thoroughly enjoyed the highlight of the track, we had two cams on board, front one didnt work but rear one did, it was g8jka behind us, hope you like the video.

Hi,
If your Z took part in the Silverstone parade lap with one of the following registrations and you’d like a photo of your car, please email me at tonymoses@sky.com. Please remember, they’re taken from a moving car so quality is variable – these are ‘raw’ shots with no cropping or post-production, I’ll leave that to you. If anyone has any shots of blue Z3, M400SES and love to see them, please.

E2 SKL, T923 JJC, S77 RRL, K77 JMG, Y571 MWN, T3 TUE, RO51 WTT , J444 RLY, DJW 2, V47 GGF.

Best regards,
Tony

Now that is a cracking first post, dteagles! The still shots on flickr are definitely worth a look and finally someone actually managed to catch one of me on the track! Many thanks for posting.

Many thanks.

Tony,
The high res originals are uploaded onto flickr, just make the flickr account (BMWCCGB) a contact and you should be able to download a copy.

There was an accredited ' professional ' photographer taking 1000s of Z shots commissioned by John Safe. He was trackside on the parade lap and has some fantastic shots.
I'm not sure how you access them but I assume you have to buy them.
He is actually a friend of mine and I have the shot of my car which is brilliant.
I'll keep you posted as to what transpires in due course.
