People could take pics of there cars and enter in a competetion with the winners taking a month each.

So you would have 12 winners.

Just an idea...

If everybody brought at the cheapest garage and no one brought at the expensive garages then they would lower theirs to compete, that may help a little.

Re: Question to ask when buying an e30

I'd be asking things like what work had been done recently, when the cambelt next needs doing, what oil they use etc - you'll get a good idea of how well they look after it. :) The main thing is rust though - ask them what it looks like under the kit... I assume you're talking about asking question...

Saying that though, LPG has gone up 60% in the last year... Around here, it's only gone up that much in the last three and a half years. This time last year I was paying 54.9p - the 64.9p I'm paying now is a bit under 20% more. OK, it's still too large an increase to stomach, but it's not 60%. At t...
