E30 video review on YouTube!

Hi guys and girls!

As part of my University dissertation, I submitted this video of my E30.

Motivation was my frustration of videos of doughnuts and drifting. I hope everyone thinks I've done our car justice.

Please be gentle with me, this is the first time I've done anything like this! Comments are welcome, of course :D

Really enjoyed watching it. Good camerawork . Wish Topgear would do a special on it. You should sell them the modern menace, retro idea.

The next series has an E30 based challenge from what I've heard. Apparently one of the cars ends up being set on fire though, so not looking forward to it though...

Quality piece of tv presenting. Well done. You should use it as part of a showreel. :idea:

haha...you do indeed spy a 318i badge (from an E36 actually)...

I can't be dealing with idiots in their 'chavved upped' clios and saxos trying to race me all the damn time. On the occasion when I am feeling frisky, however, I love nothing more than blasting away from them and having them think, 'damn that's quick for a 1.8-litre!'

Life's little pleasures :)

Awesome vid, reminds me of when James May started at TG. I mean that in the best sense and hope that you have a future in automotive TV too! I hope that it goes well at Fifth Gear and may I second all the positive comments about the lack of 'drifting'.

Like the idea with the badge too, can't get away with that in mine...

not the cars bud.
how could anyone with half a brain give them up?
as you put it rear wheel drive, light, well built. not paraphasing but what you said has stuck in its content.
Shows good presenting??
I wouldn't know my thinking sponge is too filled up with engine codes and different configurations of engines.
Its all Ants fault, I go there he answers my questions and I leave with even more questions.

I love it. :thumb:

more aiming towards saying pap for the sake of a stupid sound bite that'll make frustrated men young and old snigger over.

PM me tomorrow and I'll tell you a little story about the top gear boys, a tank, policemen and me.
