E30 Zone

Anyone on here been dicing with a big Lambo round Brands Hatch then..?

Great pic! and the E30 doesn't look out of place either

The datless shape of an e30.

Guess which one will be in car heaven fist.

The French turd of course.;)

It doesn't look out of place, but i bet it's just about to be lapped by the Lambo and the Aston unless the drivers are complete muppets.

Let's keep is real, E30's aren't in the same class, and never will be...

Personally, I would rather pay the money out for the E30 rather than the stupid amounts for a Lambo or Aston, save it and get loads of cool cars or do something sensible and pay some mortgage off... Or buy loads of cars...

The guy's with the lambos and aston's (for the most) have more
money than we will ever see, Probley have multiple mortgage's and income's. So these cars are just a quick dip in the pocket for them...

But if you got it, you can't take with you at the end so enjoy it.

Multiple properties, with no mortgages more like!

If I had the money to buy one, I wouldn't hesitate!

If i had that kind of cash i'd be on the phone to the guys who built the M3 E30 with the V10 5litre from the ground up to do the same for me!

When i win the lottery...my only career plan to date

Nice... I was also planning on this route. But so far t hasn't been too promising.

And again, personally, i'm not into super cars. If I had loads of cash, I would buy my dad R8 but thats about as crazy I would go. I would get myself an almost new land rover defender as I think buying a car brand new is almost as bad as paedophilles... Well maybe not that extreme but it makes me have a little sick in my throat at the thought of it.

I never said it was as fast, just that it looked in its element.

However, I know a racer who enjoys thrashing scoobie drivers in a bog standard corsa on trackdays. Don't judge a book by its cover

True,an E30 does look good on a track.
And, on a track like Brands where it's all about handling and there's only one good straight, i suppose a sorted E30 would have a pretty good chance against the rich kids!

Ahh.. the v10 in a box pic was a topic of conversation in the pub last night lol.

And the v10 e90 hartage.. Both cause sex wee.

That's my plan too. Damn.

Between the Mrs and I though we're in syndicates buying at least 35 euro millions tickets a week, and channeling winnings back in to buy lucky dips!!!

My numbers have got to come up soon!!

With that much effort you deserve to win something!

My parents won £250,000 on the thunderball...the first time they played it!

That'd do

250k? hell yeah...

The noise from the Lambo is immense Been in one at it was awesome

Silly thing is, he treated himself to a newer car cos his Cavalier SRi was on it's last legs so bought an E46 318i...and moaned about the lack of power ever since he got it! I did warn him.

Some people have just got no class

Without getting into personal circumstances, I'm sure they could have afforded to P/X.

He was looking at 530D tourers before he bought the E46. It took him 18 months from winning the cash to find a car that he doesn't like to replace a car that barely ran(SRi)....this should give you some idea of what my dad is like!

Dont get me wrong, my dad's great, but he's never had money like that before, and i think he was just scared of spending it...and he's incredibly indecisive.

Seeing as you're now a mate, why don't I help him out?

Are you kidding? He makes a limpet on a rock at low tide look loose!

I'm not taking the P155 here. your olds must be so happy having so much money they don't know how to spend it.

Winning £250K would only just get me a double garage, with a house on the side, mortgage free down here.

Oh to be mortgage free. One day..

It's about the same in the area of Eastbourne where they live,but luckily the house was mostly paid off already.

He had allowed himself £20K to spend on a car,max. In the end he spent £10K, and that broke his heart! What's worse,it's now only worth £3.5K trade-in, so he'll probably keep it until it dies cos he'd never let himself lose that much cash...

sorry to point this out guys but the aston in the photo is actually a jag xkr lol

your old man must be a bit upset that he brought the e46, thinking it was grunty and that it sucks harder then a limpit to a supertanker!!

Jag..Aston...there's no difference anymore!
I've given up trying to work out who's copying who.

Your right he's upset, and he still looks on Autotrader for his dream E39 02 'plate 530d tourer.. but they dont sell for £5K with all the trimmings and bugger-all mileage, and that's all he seems to want to spend!

E30 looks sweet. Althought the SV does look pretty cool to be fair

Yeh,the Audi..sorry!..Lambo does look good. I'd love a spin in one,but i'd probably be forever dissatisfied with my 4pot afterwards

Was about to say...

I remember one of the lads at work ringing me up after the slr vs lambo sv race in abu dhabi for top gear so excited at having driven one! Was a shame they didn't show the proper race as the slr pulled 5 car lengths by the end but they did another race to make it look closer
Might get shot for saying this but would defiantely have the lambo over the slr

I'd have the Lambo over the SLR too.

SLR is just a big fat cruiser.

The Lambo would actually make you feel like your going fast.

Same goes for Veyron, I'd pick an Maclaren F1 over that anyday.
