Re: Birthday today, need an E30!

Windsor isn't far and some posh people live there :giggle: I got some family in windsor, but then everytime I want to drive, I'd have to walk like and hour to get to the damn thing and then back again. If that saved you three grand a year, for instance, wouldn't that take the sting out of the walk?...
