E30 Zone

Went on a bit of a road trip today, was 157 miles and only saw 1 E30! And I keep my eyes on the road the whole time as I get really bad motion sickness!

It was a very rusty Henna Red Moredoor!

Although I did see alot of Mercedes W201's! I thought E30's were more common!


So were are they all...........

I saw 3 on the way home from work Fri (20 miles)

Saw one in the 2 miles to the petrol station earlier..

ive had my e30 for 4 months now and only seen around 4 e30s, there rely not very common

Plenty round my part of the world.

Picking up in sheffield.

Saw another 3 today at the "Midlands Breakfast Club" meet at RAF Cosford in the midlands.

last 4 long journeys i have been sat in the passenger seat i have counted more DB9's than e30s

did a 400 mile trip today counted 3 DB9s and two e30s

the other 3 times it was 1 or non e30s and 4 -5 DB9s

Last year, I was travelling a fair bit between Perthshire and Caithness. Being aa E30 nerd, I thought I'd count the mileage from leaving Caithness until the point where I clocked another E30. The milage was somthing like 950 !!

E30's are becoming very rare in these neck of the woods..

Never saw a single one, did pull up alongside a very nice Silver/Blue Austin Healey in a layby,when i stopped to roll a ciggie, though.

shed loads where I live in north london. there's 4 in the car park for my block of flats for a start.

2 round the corner on the way to the tube as well which I'm sure must belong to a zoner as he keeps taking them to bits, swapping wheels etc

haven't seen any today, but then I'm in san francisco.

lots blinged up 540's and e36s about though

i see 2 every morning at the moment

So how is this a bad thing i hate seeing loads about. The less E30's the more value my car will hold.

i used to see one on the ring road... a black i.s with some bird driving it... she had what i call the 4 pot stare!!

I hardly ever see them where i live

You'd better get some new batteries in the camera Geordie.
There should be an additional 4 on Saturday and Sunday.

All round to Geordie's hoose for a photo shoot

I just went to the Milton Keynes chav night (hockey stadium every sunday) and there was 1 , a black 2 door chromie, very tidy- no badge but i think it was a 325.
That was it, 4 mustangs, 5 cossies, 9000 subarus, 2000 golfs, mk2 escort ect... ive started taking mine to remind people they exist.

To be honest Dave, i was just happy to be driving again.

Only used to see one other when I bought mine, however round my way the numbers are gradually increasing. There is a green 320 touring parks up the road from where furbster hides his track toy in his garage. Don't think there are more than three zoners from my way.

Theres about 3 on my street, and I see about 30 E30s in slough everyday.

Theres this proper councilled up white E30 with reiger kit and everything on it which just drives around loaded with people 24-7, non stop lol.

That guy also owns 2 other E30s, and is always in the carpark opposite my house about 500m away every night doing burnouts on his own....

i can take a walk round my town and see at least 6 e30s saying that 2 are in my drive

Plenty about in Norwich, especially 4 doors and Tourings which seem popular with older people.

I normally see a couple on trips down the A140 as well.

Having spent every minute of spare time working on mine for the last few weeks I can honestly say I'm now sick of the sight of E30's! - it will pass though!

In all seriousness, they are definately on the decline. They were one of the most common cars on the road a few years ago but clearly a lot are getting scrapped.

Thread Revive!

Today I saw 5 E30's! Although no chromies! I saw:
- A Black touring, dead on the side of the motorway
- A Red325 Sport
- A White 2dr with council rims
- A Red touring with "Bling" or "chrome" wheels
- A Blue Touring.

Thats an improvement really! Although also saw:

- 2 AC Cobra Replica's or Real not sure!
- 2 Dodge Vipers
- A Corvette
- A Porsche 356B Coupe
- A Lancia Stratos
- A Daimler / Jaguar Mk2 Thing!
- A Alfa Romeo SZ
- 4 VW Split screen Campers
I could go on! It was a good car spotting day today!




They all make you feel a bit pikey when your in a 190E booming along in the fast lane!
