Re: Steve_k

Sad to read this.

He was always on the Zone and gave his input on everything he could.

RIP Steve.

Re: Long Time…..

I’ve still got the 325 which I’ve had for 29 years now, still going strong.

The M3 is in fine fettle also.

New addition was the E61 M5 Touring which I picked up 8 years ago.

Long Time…..

No see…..

Well it’s been a while since I’ve crept back in here and when I did I was met with bad news about members passing away.

Who’s still knocking about and still in the E30 club ?

Such sad news!

Re: E30 m3 seats

Sadly the stitching is vertical and not horizontal like the E30 M3.

They’ve been re trimmed and not exactly the correct way.

Re: Next door

We didn’t buy gifts for each other as we decided to make others Christmas special by donating money to those who lost their jobs and had kids, much more rewarding knowing the kids benefited having a normal Christmas during these times.

Re: and we're off !

Yes the plan is to head directly fo Baden Baden and I’m probably best heading towards Aachen as that’s the closest border.

My bladder will be fine but the need to take on fuel is more important as I’ll be in the V10 and that drinks!

I’m heading over to Baden Baden for 3 nights and I was going to leave Calais and transit through France direct to BB. Which way would you go via Aachen, Luxembourg or direct through France ?

The furlough scheme was good for a short time help out but now it’s an ...

Re: Driving Holidays

I took the E30 M3 across Europe to South of France and drove back again via Zermatt. Never missed a beat and surprisingly comfortable for the journey.

I’ve done several Euro road trips in the E61 M5 as that thing rips up the miles with ease and touching 165mph on the Autobahn is liberating.
