E30 Zone

Dear Members

My name is Lauris Naglins, I’m a photography student at The Arts Institute at Bournemouth and I’m currently doing a personal photographic project about people who buy, build/re-build and are passionate about e30’s.

I’m looking for volunteers for my project who would like to be involved in it in exchange for photographs.

Please contact me as soon as possible via e-mail or phone including details about yourself and your car.

Sounds like a cool project. I'd volunteer as I'm moving to Hampshire in 2 weeks but unfortunately I just seem to 'own' my E30, not re-build or restore it so don't suppose it'd be any good...

Good luck though, I'm sure I speak for others when I say post up the results!

The last thing I need is my parts stash being photographed.

Hey Lauris, have just emailed you.

That's fine. I want to cover as many as possible and after all.. everything is interesting. Just send me an e-mail and we sort something out.

Bit far away from you,but let me know if I can help in any way,my current project is to convert a LHD touring to RHD and stick an M50 in,see Daimlerman's folly in the photo gallery for a bit more detail.

In that case, email sent!

the project is meant to be not only about cars but also a lot about people behind them

Lauris,

Me and a mate are currently turning a rusty old 325 touring in to a track car, including an engine swap. Would be happy to be involved - just drop me a PM and we'll get something sorted (car is currently near Bedford but will ultimately live further north near Crewe).

this is what's going on with my E30 affliction, miles away from you but happy to help

happy to help, but might be too far

Again with location, if I'm not too far though, I've got an ex show car...

please feel free to pass information about the project to your friends and peers

Hope the prject goes well mate.

Tell us some more about the car in your avatar??

where about is that?

east kent... very eastern most bit of east kent

As others have said i am happy to help but am in nottinghamshire so a good distance from you. let me know if you are interested.

I'd be happy to help out but the car isn't on the road right now thanks to the DVLA slow coaches. I have a passing interest in photography, I'm based in Soton and my gf's Sister is at AIB so I'd come down if my v5 arrives (so I can tax it). It reminds me that there is a good looking red IS down Osborne road.

where in soton are you never seen you at any local meets ???????

it was nice to meet you today lauris, hope you got some good shots, especially the ones on the hill overlooking portsmouth, looking forward to seeing the pics of my iS and scrumpy but don't worry about the ones of me too much, ok?

Plenty of those shots of you and Gordon in Gay Times eh adit??


Interested to see some of these shots!!!


Get 'em posted!

oh no, don't start mr athill off again, you know how defensive he gets nath! gay times?? he told me the shoot was for e30 monthly! i wondered why he asked me to take my leather shorts along. i thought it was for a may-day zone meet promotion or something! misled! p.s. you'll have to wait for the photos mate, it wasn't my camera. (or did you mean the ones of me in my shorts? )

You can pm me those, sweetie

Gordon doth protest to strongly, me thinks!!

patience dear liza,dear liza,dear liza, .... sshhhh! don't let him hear you say that, otherwise it'll be..

He does get touches of the green eyed monster!

Guys

I have a question for all of you. You must be aware of stereotype about BMW drivers that we all are bunch of wan**rs. What do you think about that and how do you cope with it?

I ignore it - all drivers are w"$£$rs until proven innocent.

I embrace it! "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" and all that!!

No, just kidding! I've never considered it to apply to drivers of older BMWs to be honest, just the newer ones that you see 'suits' driving with their bluetooth headsets glues to their ears. They're the real wan**rs.

Hmmm....now that's an interesting one - you've obviously your car decorated with penises :p (shouldn't have let it get that dusty)

but regardless of what you drive someone will find something to pick on so let them! I know I don't drive this car for the badge, it just so happens to be extremely well engineered and very . They're all jealous anyways....

at least it's not an E36

Nah, VW and Audi drivers have taken that mantle.

so in general e30 drivers shouldn't be called wan**rs

actually! it might be a good name for the project - Not The Wan**rs

Hi

I'm still looking for volunteers for my photography project. Is anyone available this weekend who is not more than 100 miles from Bournemouth? I wish I could travel further but my budget is very limited.

Contact me on the e-mail below.

Cheers!
