"I'm going to send an email to the BBC, and I don't care if they don't read it!"

"If I see Jeremy Clarkson I will poo in my hand and throw it at him"



Guys, as some have suggested lets not become a source of comedy indignation like the morris men did.

I'm not too fussed if they smash up a couple of e30's - at least they're not fitting eyebrows and BK's!!!

I dont mind them smashing up a couple of E30's but what will bother me is if clarkson and co start saying E30's are crap etc etc.

If your gonna smash a few up at least let people know how legendary the E30 was in its hay day

1. Less cabs=a good thing- why have an e30 with scuttle shake? :D

2. I've taxed a lot worse than Top Gear use for their "crash and smash" features!

I always feel sorry for the Marina/Ambassdor/Princess owners

They come in for a lot of stick and are even openly derided at Car Shows

This is unfair just because these cars are not and never will be classics (tbh most e30's never will be either)

They put a lot of time,effort,money and love into their cars but the important point is

SOMEBODY has to do it or we will only ever see pictures of them

So good luck to them

Good luck to them,its only entertainment those who get personal about a lump of metal ,although a well produced lump ,needs to get a grip on reality ,

Anything that can make the E30 less common is not a bad thing there will always be plenty for the E30 enthusiast,

Any publicity isnt bad either .

Dont get me wrong Ive owned 5 & looked after them well but its a car at the end of the day

I really couldn't care. As said before most e30s are rotten snotters , 3 less counsil cabs won't do any harm.

FFS at the ebd of the day does it really matter??

the cars would've ended up in the scrappy sooner or later.
lets look at it this way the more that get broken for parts helps to keep the rest on the road & as time goes by & the numbers dwindle then whjats left (good or bad) will (hopefully) go up in value.

as felix79 said as long as it ain't my car they use (& they've got no chabce of that while i've got it) then i really don't care.

as for the person who said they'd die for the e30 get a fuvking life & get out a bit more.

all this thread does is play into TG & clarksons hands.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

I hope the boys enjoyed their E30 experiences before they smashed them up. You never know, they might even get a bit sentimental over them - the E30 is a loveable car!

All in the name of fun though. Lets hope the E30s do us proud!

Just to clarify, the poo in hand quote was from TG and apparently quoted from the Marina owners club website.

Just suggesting that there's no need to get our knickers in a twist over this, I am looking forward to the episode as I love TG, should be a laugh whatever they do with the cars.

I actually doubt they're going to slag off the E30 too badly. How often do they use 3 of the same car for one of their old car features? It's a compliment really!

i fully expect them to run them into the ground and to give them the image of "only worth the price of light steel" turds.

if they didnt tear the e30 a new one then it wont make good tv.

i fully expect the "image" of the e30 in the eyes of the masses to drop significantly after the program has aired.

Who gives a fcuk?

They are cabbies which are 2 a penny and theres plenty of cheap dogs about, if it were a tech1,tech2, M3, alpina or even a motorsport cabbie id understand the annoyance and be pretty pissed :D

id rather see them go out in an entertaining fashion and in style than wrapped around a lampost by some chavved up little scrote. Many end up getting trashed in this fashion on a weekly basis across the country so 3 more wont hurt

Lighten up :cool:

Who cares if TG trash a few E30s and rubbish them to the masses?

You all love your E30s because of what they represent to you? right? not because TG say they are cool or rubbish etc.

Or have I logged onto Pistonheads by mistake?
