It'll be one of those bloody annoying automatic electronically generated forms, I get the same sort of thing from the mighty tax man for the Ã‚£100 fine I get every year for not paying taxes on time.

What work brings you to salisbury then?. It's not really Salisbury that's just the nearest 'city'. I'm working in Tidworth as a QS on a new build Tesco all finished now but just agreeing final accounts! :x :evil: I haven't had the pleasure of driving the either the 318is or the 325 as I'm a bit on ...

It must have been a struggle not chuck it in a nice big high speed drift! Is that why all the pictures after it are with the car stopped, you just got depressed and gave up

Great pics and for all its mentalism (if thats a word) great car!

I know I haven't been a member on here for long but I didn't see you as a driving in a completely straight line kinda guy!

(pic 5)

CHEERS!! Really comforting

Might just have to borrow a challenger tank from the garrison down the road!

Right thats it I'm gunna do it even if I take the diesel pug and all its slow acceleration and understeering hell!

But I'm sure it'll still be a good laugh and as a few guys have said you have to start somewhere.

Most organised track days will have a couple of instrutors on hand who'll sit in the car with you for a few laps and show you how it's done....usually at no extra charge. Trackfun who run days up at Goodwood are excellent in this respect. Cheers boss will look into it. Does anyone know of any good ...

i avoid the corner tussles and fly past most on the long straights.

I'd love to see a big touring flying down the straights

Thinking bout getting myself one one day

like I said been to a couple of Caterham seven club days and there are some crazy old dudes with some seriously quick machines and I got the idea of the basic overtaking rules etc but just nervous about going for it myself. What do you guys reckon I should go for? 325 and keep it for the track only,...

I wouldn't a get a complete sh1t pit cause as you said I wouldnt want to damaged anyone elses pride and joy and I would want to look too stupid either

Do need to have an issued car to use on tracks? Cause I'm thinking of getting a 325 but wouldnt be able to afford to insure it for the road. Or alternatively I could get the 318is I've been looking for and use it for both what d'ya reckon?

oh right didnt realise that there were novice days I'll look into cheers...

thats the problem I'm worried the muppet or the slow granddad will be me. I've been to a couple of Caterham trackdays as a passenger in a mates car but they're all uber driving geeks.

so do you reckon I should get a nice little motor so I can get myself into it quickly?

To be completely honest I'm a little scared (pathetic I know! :o: ) but I just think it would be really dawnting going on a track for the first time! Any opinions on how to got involved or should I just stop being a little pussy.... cat and just get on a track 'n' go for it. (need to get a car for i...

Now I know red is a much loved e30 colour but if I'm honest I'm definately not usually a fan but there is something about yours that is really really nice. Good work she's coming along very nicely!

(even though in some of the pictures she does look pink

)

ok fair enough, thanks for the advice may just have to live in my small diesel nightmare for a bit longer!

The problem is that because its all done using set computer programs they use my age now 20 and my 0 NCB plus it leave out a lot of the specialist companies. But thank you anyway just had a look and for a 320 is over Ã‚£1500 so thats to depressing to believe so might just call up some specialist ins...

Could anyone give me rough ideas about insurance prices from decent firms for a 21yr old, one yrs NCB on a

316
318
and a 320
and if possible just for a laugh a 325.

how old are you?

well it looks like its going to be the 318iS 2dr saloon.

If anyone has any reason why I shouldnt get one please speak now

I wish but being 20 now and 21 in december is putting a stop to that.

325 one day then maybe 2.8 3.6 etc etc

I will check it out, now for a really boy racer scumbag question............... Is it fairly easy to chuck the 318iS into a few donuts every now and then?? (I'm living in a very naive diesel FWD world

)

Running costs sont matter company pays for fuel etc, I think I want the 2dr saloon, not a fan of 4drs and you're right not enough sun to justify a cabbie

Right it won't be for a while probably not until december (as then I'll be 21 and I'll have a years NCB) but I thought I'd just start investigatong so I can know the in and outs of the e30. I am looking for a cabby or a saloon, but I'm not sure which engine I should get. Bigger would be better; but ...

Good point well made, tis a shame they didnt make more. LHD or RHD

M3s past and present are wonderful it really doesn't matter which side you put the steering wheel on

You're not wrong there! It's a thing of beauty! I'm not saying there's any problem with LHD it doesn't really make much of a difference to me really, was just wondering...

Exactly, converted, so I'm guessing the fatherland never gave us plucky brits the e30 M3 then....

Not likely to get one for while (I'm just too young to get insured on one), but was just wondering are they all left hookers? Or are there any RHDs about?
