i normally go with the sierra owners but they're not going this year....... it's quite good a relaxed show with a fairly good autojumble, tbh i can't remember much e30 bits but then again i wasn't looking at the time. i would be tempted to go in my e30 but it's not exactly in show condition...

Re: how many of you use your E30 daily?

mine is used all the time, tbh with 245k on the clock its a bit used and abused but it has been a joy to drive , even with the bad weather. its not as tail happy as my sierra which is now off the road ,so the e30 will be the everyday car for a while longer until it is done then i'll swap them over.....
