Got laughed at

[danbear]

Last night i was laughed at by some youths that probably still ride mopeds. The exact comment was ''Hahaha, he's driving an estate'' Wouldn't mind but its a bloody Touring. I felt rather annoyed afterwards.

[gareth]

my 'old estate' (with grandad spec towbar) gets the same comments sometimes, i just snigger to myself knowing that it'll definately rape any car they, or any of their mates, or their mate mates older brothers etc owns

the usual, "is it a 16 valve mate" gets the answer "no, only 12". they never mentioned cc's

[danbear]

Haha. Probably because i'm 22 and driving a ''family'' car lol. Who cares, i love it

[Morat]

Tourings are the true sleepers

[fuzzy]

estates are cool and the choice of the more sensible driver. they obviously had no taste.

[dowot]

after my last estate , the touring is a little tame and gets the same sort of stupid comments.........

not long till the 24v sierra estate is back on the streets..

then i can save up for another engine for the touring...

[danbear]

Always loved the tourings. My next door neighbour bought one when i was about 10, and since then i've always liked them

[Alex]

a lot of young people have shite taste in cars anyway

[fuzzy]

a perfect excuse to fit a high power engine to leave them standing. imagine the shame as they make excuses to their mates as to why the 20 year old estate left them standing at the lights.

[e30topless]

I had a 325i tourer as a daily for a while,

it was fun watching the faces on unsuspecting chavs at the lights, as I dusted their saxo/corsa or whatever shite they were driving

true sleepers ...

[danbear]

I'm very supprised how well my 325 goes. Keeps up with modden day traffic no problem.

[fuzzy]

i used to do it to imprezzas and such like in my cossie touring.very satisfying.

[danbear]

Haha you're a lucky man

alas with 'only' 220bhp, mine isn't quite as savage as yours was, but it looks a lot less 'special' than yours so could really take people by suprise. the two cossies i overtook through the foxhole on the ring were suitably suprised. served many a scooby it's arse on a plate before now too

one of life's simple pleasures

Com'on Alex, you haven't done too bad, don't put yourself down 'cause it's a 4 pot

[Simon13]

its all about fast estates, theres something about a big boot, smallish car and a big engine!

[Zizzle]

Only one id EVER get.... if i was rich and bored..

RS6..

rest i find fooking ugly!

[Ollie_bwoii]

Most of my mates say my chromie is "old skool cool"

[danbear]

Its the evil look of the E30 that made me want one

[gareth]

wash your mouth out with soap!
i personally prefer the look of the touring to all other E30's (inc the M3).
the only one that would look better in my eyes would be a properly done 2 door M3 touring

[danbear]

Has anyone got a picture of a 2 door touring? I was showed a picture ages ago but would like to see one again lol

[Speedtouch]

Try driving a half-timbered estate (Minor Traveller) then. Oh well, at least mine has a 1275cc MG Midget engine and close-ratio box to give some folk a surprise...

[Ollie_bwoii]

[danbear]

That sounds like fun

[e30topless]

[Alex]

wheres dips's

[danbear]

ahh thats smart, How may was there made? Any ideas?

[Alex]

not many, there a pukka bmw creation too

will find some pics of dips's

[gareth]

ollie, that took you 2 mins! that was the coachbuilt version, made before BMW did one themselves. uses a mk1 golf tailgate iirc.

re the M3 touring, this one is nice, but still a 4 door

there is a nice red one in germany but the link seems to be broken

[Alex]

BBS bodykit i think he has fitted to it, looks smart

[Felix79]

I think something like 6 or 7 of them were done. Drip's has the full BBS kit on it.

When someone slates a touring of just think of that prick who raced Si at the pod with his M3 turbo.

[danbear]

I cant see it

[danbear]

Thats gorgeous

[SUMPCRACKER]

Dan,
Just went through your recent threads (stalker?) and ive seen you have had some probs with my old tourer..

You should have PMd me, i can sort it all easily.
The only reason i didnt sort it was i needed it gone in a hurry.

Let me know if you need help with lumpy running, poor starting ect..
And its a low comp engine btw from a 1990 car.
