BMW Car Club @ Le Mans Classic!

Club members Kevin McNally and Silas Benaiah are among a group of club members who are attending this year’s Le Mans Classic , from 30th June to 3rd July. They are hoping that more members will join them, either here in the UK, possibly at the ferry port for the run down to Le Sarthe. Or even to meet up at the circuit for a drink and a catch up with the guys.

If you would like to join up with the guys, give Kev a call on 07773 775471 or kevin.mcnally1965@btinternet.com or Silas on 07831 554466 or evom3@btinternet.com
