Spotted 11 all in a line. for the past 2 1/2 days.
Judging by the grins on the faces of the drivers,I'd say they were having some fun on some of West of Scotland's finest back roads. winkeye

Spotted about 18 imprezza's and about 10 TVR's both of which seemed to be doing the same as we were.on Saturday afernoon as well.

Saw quite a few in Oxfordshire/Warwickshire, which was good going seeing as I was on a canal barge at the time :)

odd, did a drive up to the midlands and back and only saw one while crawling through traffic on the A13 on Friday - black with tec1 kit and looking very low... bit of a shame seeing as that's almost 6 hours of driving in total :(

asides from that they seem to be getting rare....or must be that I don't get out at the right times!

Theres a fair amount down this way. A few of the regulars are a more door black 316 a gardeners always has a trailer on the back, a white more door chromie but with the tech 2 bumpers on it, bit of a rough old thing, a black 2 door 325i with light tints driven by some old dude and a H plate baur driven by a lady who must be well into her 70s its manual and spotless. Theres a load more but there the ones I see on a weekly basis. Oh yeah watched Yes man last night, he owns one on that. I was a bit surprised to see it on such a modern film. Maybe Hollywood is catching on to the old skool cool!

I got a thumbs up from a 325i Cab owner on the m40 up to Warrickshire for the kit car show.

Was keeping up a good pace with me for about 15 mins before I decided to ease off and stop playing with other cars.

I've come across 3 e30's in Oxford last few days and they all flash the lights or wave at me now. Seems to be an infulx of them around here for some unknown reason. fingers crossed it will get a few of the bloody mini's off the road here.

It not a good idea to get one wet.

The ones I have seen near me are modded and look like dailes which is actually a much nicer thing to see as it's showing how good these cars can be.

lots down my way too - one thing I have noticed recently is more and more are owned by younger drivers - a couple of years ago every E30 I saw was driven by an ageing farmer
and his wife

theres a gorgeous 325i red cabby driving around Barny at the moment - is it you? LOL I keep grinning at it like a crazed loon LOL
