M5 as ///M Intended

Thought you guys might enjoy these high res pics of my car going "flat chat" at Silverstone. I think the folks in Munich would approve

Four wheel drifts through Copse at 90mph was fun

Maybe next time eh

90mph was a guess (I wasn't watching the speedo at the time) - it was 6000rpm in 3rd gear, and grabbing 4th on the exit before hitting the rev limiter

Great shots.

Good to see the car on the road after the lengthy period of conversion. I presume your rear shocks were up to the task...?

Ps. You never mentioned your passing resemblence to Steve Cropley, not a distant relative is he?
