ITS PICTURE TIME 
I have a whole load, so it may take a few posts to get them all uploaded.
Enjoy...
At the meeting point, BMW dealership Paulsons Bil in Helsingborg
we saw a car parked outside which clearly demonstrated why you should always prep the surfaces thoroughly before spraying your grills! (not one of our cars!)
more pictures to come...

After watching a race, we went the short distance to the paddock to check out some of the cars racing that day... and obviously first parked up nicely for another quick photo opportunity 
There was some serious machinery on display getting ready for action and a great mix of cars...
more race cars in the next post...

...and some more pictures of race cars... any favourites or fond memories of yours amongst all of these??
For me, seeing the "Fast Fords" and the Jaguar really made me think of back home in the UK and the great racing heritage we have there
This picture just makes you feel good -- you just know that one day "Junior" is also going to be tearing around that circuit
more pictures to come...

It was then time for some more cross-country driving. As you can see by the pictures below, having tanked inspiration at the race track, it soon became a little more difficult for Mrs xBMWx to get clear shots of the guys in front 
-- and the great thing was we only saw about 10 cars during the entire 260km / 4 hours of driving!! 
X3MKing then took us to Koenigsegg, but they were too scared to come out for a race 
Thats all for now -- I hope you enjoyed the pics
