Re: The garage.

, also if you go to la cala there is a decent garage next to the big tire place on the main round about. But you will need to speak spainish for them comprende cornio. La Cala would be my call, they serve exellent guiness in Biddy Muligans bar :D But avoid the golf courses - they're shite. Off topi...

Re: STOLEN: My Black 2 door 325i - F938 UMP

Im in Slough mate and will ask about. there are a few E30s round here and if you remember recently a well known drift car was nicked from santa pod and a several people arrested - two of which were asian and from slough. I would take certain parts out the car when parking it up so i cant be started ;)

Re: Heck spoiler - how do you remove these from bootlid?

excellent - cheers for the info.

The bootlid has a small bit of rust on the inside so not sure someone will want it - otherwise it will get thrown in the skip.

Re:

I actually really like the E36 shape - one of the nicest 3 series shapes there is and can be made to look lovely with the right mods. They also have better engines in them.

Saying that E30s are classics in my eyes and im sure you can get them insured on classic policies nowadays

Re: Shite and Turds

If a car is worth more in bits than a whole, it does make sense to "frag" or "strip it", especially when you can buy E30s for less than a bag of crisps lol

The more that get broke, will eventually put the prices of decent ones up as there will be less supply to fulfil the demand ;)
