The Front

Similar. I've had a quick look through our albums. I can't actually find a shot under the bonnet. I'll see if I can get one.

I fitted a set of OEM rotors to the front of the 540. Brembo slotted rear rotors and Mintex 1166 all round. Haven't really had the beast up to speed since, so I can't comment on their extreme performance. I will say that the pads generate A LOT LESS DUST! and my mags are easy to clean being 5 spoke.

1965 Ferrari Dino 206SP being built. This is the car that Ferrari built to beat the GT40 at Le Mans. And it did. I'll find photos of it finished.

DCH164. 1994 Alfa 164QV. Torque steer HEAVEN. Not much slower than the 540, but sounds loads better with the sports exhaust.

DCH348. 1994 348. She's a dream!

Tess again. Horrid to back. Not much fun in the wet. Flat 12. Fun though.

DCHTES 1991 Testarossa. Find footage of the 1st Targa!

The Variety Club Bash Car. Quick station wagon with worked motor and rotating water cannon (in the snake) Cool fun to drive. Not under low objects or standard garages though.

As raced at the 96 Wellington Street race and the following Endurance series

I don't know if there are 22. I'd need to count them up. A few nice toys though. BMW missed out on 2 new M3's due the waiting list. So 2 Alfa 156 GTA's bought instead. Here is the tourer as raced in our 1st Southern Endurance series.

Cheers Jock. Here is the list of as delivered options in it. NZ new, even though they never officially sold here. 540options.tif

The S42 was the racing version of the M42. Nominally 1998cc in the Super Tourers. These 2 cars originally came from Italy I believe. I am working with the guys that ran BMW Motorsport Australia to get their exact history. I have some more photos of the cars. I just need to figure out the scanner to get them in. The Car DNF'd in 2002. After crashing into the Monaro at the end of Conrod. Fastest lap 2:30.8972. Quicker the the 3.2l M3. Excluding the Duller Motorsport M3's

Oh, sorry. Service history. Yes, by Blackwell in CHC until the warranty expired then by DCH Motorsport until I brought it up here to AKL where it has been serviced by McMillans.

Good question. I thought I had everything of interest listed. 171km now. Most on open road in the South Island. Garaged. I'll try to get the list of as delivered options scanned in too.

You're not wrong Andrew & Grant. I was waiting with expectation for this dyno readout. Less than Davids 325 he was around 93kW off memory. It does look nice though. I reckon someone has done a motor swap on it. Surely! Why pay more for a detuned car?

Not mine, unfortunately. They are my Uncle & Aunties cars. We have a pair of these. 1 1992 and 1 1993. Before we left for Europe and Aus, we worked on the pit crew. Deb in charge of driver chages and me on the Pi dash and diagnosis of electronic problems. A pair of these Fiat Arbarth X1/9's too. These are cool fun to drive. I'll get Deb to scan in a picture of the Ferrari's too. 10 years ago, you might remember a Testarossa meeting a power pole in the Targa. Have got the footage on VHS, if someone knows how to get it on the site. Very expensive arc welder. A 206SP and a 348 left. Tes got sold at the same time as we came home. Hence the numberplate on our car. DCH540, Debbie Chapman's 540. To go along with DCH348, DCHTES, DCH164, DCHBUS (race van).

Here's another at the 2003 Skope Classic. The best collection of racing BMW's are in the SI tour. For the endurance races we are running closer to 280hp than 300hp. This way we can run the entire Suthern Festival of Speed on one motor rebuild. (Assuming we don't blow it) A 2.5l motor is being built as the S42 blocks cost a squillion bucks each. It is frighteningly fast and sounds awesome screaming toward you. There is also the ex-Burns Diet Coke E30 M3 down there, which is the sexiest sounding car in the country.

At night swinging onto Conrod. A few hours before being run into by the Monaro which then went on to win.

Getting to the Esses over the Mountain
