Pulled the m3 out to install my Christmas gift- new trickle charger.
Anyone else get anything good e30 related for Christmas?.
I couldn't resist a little blast up the motorway to Warrington and back.
They are great fun to drive these things. I wish for a climate like Portugal somewhere walm and salt free.To drive the m3 in the winter!.

Theres no need for a trickle charger Gareth, theres no salt on the roads up here, I'll keep the battery in good "running" condition for you if you leave the car with me :cool:

Ur not talking about a Simon from Welshpool by any chance are you? The one I knew had at one point amassed quite a collection of E21's E30's and a couple of 635csi's. All requiring quite a lot of work but he did have one or two quite rare models....

Not only do i hate salt i hate the farmers in my area! He thought today would be a good day to move his fecking sugar beet a mile down the road. There was about 2 inches of mud over the entire road, i got home and saw the state of my car i was not amused! esp after it had only been painted 2 weeks ago. Before i got there some one had lost it in the mud and gone straight on at the corner thru his hedge! so i was tip toeing home
Call me on 07858 151 197 - leave a message if no answer as i am probably busy! Will call you back!
Please email thru the website as not always on the zone for pm's.
Thanks

Holed hedge at night, farmer's delight. As they say.
