OK, so you've got an E30 - what other cars do you drive?

[Morat]

Following on from the age thread, I though it would be interesting to see what else zoners spend their petrol money on

Pics if you can!

[Morat]

Of course, I just happen to have a pic handy...
Fiat Coupe 16valve turbo. LHD, imported from the Fatherland by yours truly.

[blingsta]

no pics, but ive also got a E46 325 cabby and a merc clk 230 cabby !!

[madaboutthe30]

No pics however I have an old mini mayfair which I am currently restoring.

[kieran325]

This is my main car.....



This is my Sport...



My runabout for work etc....



And this is the girlfriends....



Ive also got a VW Passat TDi Sport which i bought but Ive let my mate have it until he can muster the cash up

[citizensnips]

Don't drive my e30 at the moment as i'm restoring it, 320 more door chromie, hopefully will be a 340 more door chromie at some point next year

[winx]

At the moment driving my discovery as a commuter


Decided to get rid of most of my toys recently, the one that I miss the most is my old evo, looked dog rough as it was built from rallycar bits but was awesome fun and rapid!


I still manage to offset the speed of the discovery whilst at work though :

[Jhonno]

[Phill172]

Mercedes C43 AMG



turned 21 and i could litterely take a 0 of the price of my insurance!!

i bum that disco! so cool!

[jaistanley]

I also drive an ABF engine'd MK2 Golf GTi 16v... All good german fun, and shiteloads cheaper to run than an S50'd E30 (would be).

[Jon_Bmw]

In order of things that I drive the most, I am a named driver on them all:

1998 Audi a3 1.6 SE:



Thats the 'wifes' car, a lovely drive to be fair to it and quite spritly with a short ratio diff.

1990 205 mi16:



Only drive this if i'm feeling stupid or deaf. Note the nissan next to it, I might swap the insurance over to that at the end of december for a month whilst we do some work on the 205.

2002 Clio DCI: The old dears wagon, lovely and economical. Shit turning circle though

2004 Mondeo Estate TDI in hearing aide Beige. Umm, lovely. Actually its a fantastic car to drive, and pokey enough.

[Jhonno]

Harry, you have such a good taste in wheels for all the different car types, its just a shame you are colour blind!

Loving the Neon Green MO's

[harry_p]

whats wrong with zinnobar red lancia wheels on a golf, or dayglo MOs on a mean and moody lancia?


if you don't like green, maybe you prefer orange?

[Falkster]

My daily driver



Wife's car

[Black_Potato]

Last one...


E30 Race Car


+ A Family Estate wagon I dont have a picture of....

[SteSE]

Black Potato, that is a quality pic of the "E30 Race Car". Brilliant

[oakey]

The gf's MR2 that I drove mostly:


The '84 190E merc that I drive very rarely:


And now I have a 1.0 Polo that I am not going to show off as its pap

And a pic of the sport for good measure:

[sweep]

as well as my e30 325 ,i have a 1.8 turbo diesel 2001 escort van,and a e30 4 door 320i which im selling shortly.

[FreddieS]

My backup (or main car as it is at the moment because the E30 is being shit) - matt black metro on beige steelies

Looks a bit differnet atm from that picture, running van panels and tints on the front, currently a reliable as it gets 1.1 whopping 60bhp! but ive got a 150bhp 1.4 awaiting fitment (once the e30 starts playing nice )



The MG midget thats being a bitch at the moment (low compression) - considering putting a K-series in it at some stage just for reliability.



And the landrover 90 I wish I never sold

[oakey]

^ K-series. Reliability?

[harry_p]

compared to an a-series then yes!

a standard 120bhp 1.8 is going to be about 3 million times more reliable than a 120bhp a-series, and have the potential for a lot more.

thb, a lot of the k-series stuff is myth perpetuated by owners too stupid to check coolant levels more than once a decade. i've done 10s of thousands of hard driven miles in k-series powered cars, including commutes, long distance blasts, trackdays and drag runs and have never had a gasket problem. infact the only engine problems i have had have been with alternators, but then my m3 left me stranded on the m25 with a siezed alternator a few months after i bought it

[FreddieS]

Yup, spot on.

I got the car from my rents just before I turned 17, once I passed I did 32k in under a year and a half, then moved onto other cars, parked the metro infront of a set of garages weve got, just left it there for 10 months, came back to it, jumped the battery and its been going strong ever since, dont another 3k since finishing it and it hasnt missed a beat.

[oakey]

^ I know they aren't that bad, just unusual to hear the words reliable and k series in the same sentence .

[jamie323i]

My daily is a(07) 2.0 Mondeo in silver,do you really want to see a picture,just look out your window,one will come past in a second or two...
Our other car is a(54) 1.6 toyota corolla,not the most exciting car,but faultless,never gone wrong,goes,stops,gets my children back and forward to school safely,oh and gets the wife to Lakeside shopping Centre

[StuB]

I usually drive my oak green Golf daily (2.0L '6A' 16v, P&P'd head, big brakes etc)




Also have a red Golf track car (2.0L 'ABF' 16v, roll cage, buckets etc) which is good fun...




Kind of like old VW's as I grew up with them, had several Mk1 Golf's, Polo's etc and my family have an old Beetle and a few air cooled camper vans which I sometimes use.
