Exceedingly well Margaret, hope the world finds you similarly.

I'm no Columbo, but I reckon I might just have the original Wilhelm Wynett/William Heck 318is rally car of 1990. I know the Wynett/Heck car was originally pink and when checking the spare yesterday what did I find under the carpet - PINK PAINT! I also know that Wynett liked to wear a German infantr...

Time flies when you’re having fun. You take a small ”˜me-time’ break to spend give some much needed attention to your Favourite Mode Of Personal Transport ”“ no, not an E30 you may or may not be surprised, horrified, affronted, put-out or otherwise hacked off; it’s entirely up to you ”“ but my achin...

There's always a stickler....

Enter your car, Bowie-boy, or are you scared?

Right then my little zonelings, time to get the autosol and P40 out. With all this sunshine it seems a shame not to have it reflecting off a nice bit of chrome. Your new category is metal bumper cars, chromies, pre-face, tech1, non-projector, non-impact, Oct 87 or earlier stamped on the V5. Converti...

Late again. Summer, not me. Me? I've been deliberating long and hard over the winner of this COTM. Pride was the effective theme of the challenge I set this time, and there's not a car entered which fails that criteria one little bit. There has to be a winner though, no more endless prevarication fr...

Well gentlemen, and any ladies who haven't been driven off the forum by the more Ã¢â‚¬Ëaenthusiastically gregarious' amongst the membership. What to set this month's category to? A dilemma upon the horns of which I have been riding this whole last week. If I'm honest, and I relish the opportunity of...

Choices, choices. Sometimes pleasurable, sometimes not. It almost always seems Ã¢â‚¬”a these days Ã¢â‚¬”a that they mean leaving something behind that you'll always wistfully recall. No matter the relative merits of the winner and those that you discard like cigarette packets tossed into the night, ...

What a month. Seems only two days ago that I dumped that M3 back with BMW. I'll be frank; I DO NOT KNOW where the last four weeks have gone. It's been an unrelenting storm of lawyers, suits, lawsuits and Ã¢â‚¬Ëabusiness opportunities'. My only respite was one bright morning late last week when I swu...

Rule for Driving #3: Have no small crashes . If you're going to loop-out and hit something, hit it hard . Never mind that old-school Physics bull about Irresistible Force and the Immovable Object. My main rule of the road is that some objects are more moveable than others . I'd presumed the explana...

"Hi Mr Clarksun, my name is Wendy from BMW, and I want more than anything else in the world to send over the new E92 M3, tanked up and insured, for you to road test for a week or two [chuckle] Yeah, I thought that would interest you [giggle]. Call me anytime at 0800-BRACKNELL.Ã¢â‚¬a How long, O Lor...

There are some interesting opinions on the 'Zone these days, and not all of them from strangers. Old friends have been calling me late at night from places like Nassau and Kowloon and New York, raving angrily about which of this crew of COTM entries should take the number one spot. They've called me...

Ã¢â‚¬Å“God's mercy on you swine!Ã¢â‚¬a I shouted at the two Bolivian prison guards as the Cessna lifted off from the airfield. They looked back at me, but said nothing. By this time I was laughing crazily and tossing lifejackets out of the side door. I was just another gringo giving them the slip. A...

For this months coveted monthly title we are looking for performance and modified cars, be it some giro funded wrongness or a feat of Einstein like ingenuity and engineering. The coveted badge will not go to the pipe and slipper, tweed jacket wearing, mint imperial sucking society. After last month'...

It was a choice tougher that a Little Chef Hash Brown. Some say these Tourings were made from genuine Hermann Goering steel anointed by angels. Some say Matt Black is the new B&Q non drip gloss. Yep, it's Top Touring Time. That's Touring people, t-o-u-r-i-n-g. Not Tourer, Toureg, Toremolinos or Tour...

As summer draws to a close, the evenings draw in and we buckle down for the long cold autumn, it seems only apt that this months car of the month should be that pillar of summertime use, the touring. After a busy summer of hauling tents, caravans and trailers full of the remains of a garden makeover...

Hello fellow e30zoners. It gives me great pleasure to say I have been allowed out of my box once again for one day only, fed me some delicious treats and given the chance to decide the fate of this months e30zone car of the month entrants. And what a hardy task it has been! The standard of this mont...

Its that time again fellow e30zoners. That source of so much controversy, excitement and hushed whispers in darkened alleyways is once again upon us. Its time to dig out those dusty old photo's and pray for redemption from the merciless e30 gods themselves. E30zone car of the month is here yet again...

That time has come my fellow e30zoners. The burden of deciding which of you to discard at the wayside and which to lift onto a podium for all to admire has been passed to me. I'd like to say its a task I undertake with a heavy heart and a sackful of guilt. But I don't. Life is hard, it has its ups a...

Do you have a hankering for fame and glory? Need to re-affirm that the money you relentlessly pour into your e30 isn't being frittered away without any return? What you need is for your car to be the e30zone car of the month, to be featured on the E30Zone website banner! Yes thats right, E30zone is...
