Hello from Cornwall

Thu Apr 20, 2006 10:50 am

Hi Everyone

I just thought I would introduce myself before posting in other sections of the forum. I am from Cornwall and have a Red 318i Lux which I am looking to prepare for the BMW Challenge next year so I will have a few parts up for grabs soon

My everyday car is only a little honda civic and although I have owned various road performance cars in the past, including my very missed R32 GT-R Skyline, I have now decided that it is time for me to save my money and go racing.

Looks forward to getting to know some of you guys - anyone else from down my way on here?

Cheers,
Marco aka Rizzo

Hi Rizzo

Welcome.

I'm not from your way but I'll be down your way next weekend for a long weekend with the missus. We're going to be staying on a working farm in Par for a few days over the long weekend.

Not taking the E30 but my daily driver (MX-6 2.5 V6, 24V).

Look forward to seeing you somewhere at a meet.

Not a great deal really, there is quite a bit of info in the Motorsport Section of the forum. Looks like a great opportunity to get into motorsport without spending loads of money. Still have to ask a few questions myself about the exact details but I have all this year to sort it out.

Should be easy to spot then. Will keep an eye out for you!

So how is your technical knowledge on the e30? You never know a little local tech support may be very useful ;)

good to see someone being a bit distinctive down there-all i remember about newquay is bugs and buses as far as the eye could see!
