E30 Zone

How do you deal with the tricky issue of passing another E30?

I just ignor them as i dont know them

Why does that not surprise me?

Usually flash but I've waved a few times... In return! Was quite funny when I met a group of hippy looking guys and gals face on at traffic lights. They seemed to think it was hilarious and waved frantically!

Usually a quick nod of the head or thumbs up

I think you'd get categorised as a lunatic over here for waving at people just because they're in tha same type of car.

Most people is Spain who drive E30s aren't enthusiasts, although they do exist obviously, the majority are just people who happen to own old BMWs.

What you trying to say young lady

I must admit I just have a look and drive past. 9 times out of 10 they a rotten turds. Most of the local zoners I know and all other E30 tend to be scrap round here.

.....I touch myself....

Erm, where?

I'll admit it, I'm a flasher

However I will generally look at but ignore a base model grubby E30 as it's unlikely to have an enthusiast owner.

The mere sniff of a suspension job, shiny paint, nice wheels, M-tech or 'is' front end and i'll say hello.

A lot of locals do wave, not just E30's either. A local 2002 owner, a few E28's, E21's and 635 owners are all cheery chappies

I pull them over and ask if they need any parts...

If I'm driving one of my E30's,I wave,flash my lights or sound my horn,depending on the situation and where my hands are!

If I'm in the Starlet,I tend to shrink into the footwell.....

Good poll. I like it!

We need to get more owners on side...

a wave is cool and its what I do but please no horns they drive me mental and I would disconnect mine if it wasn't for the MOT.

I usually flash my hazzards, its more subtle... Depending though. I sometimes give a nod, sometimes I get ignored and shout abused... Nothing major just like, "Ignorant Bastar..!", followed by horrible words about the condition of their car... Bit sad, but true.

what a coincidence, so do I

i thought it was only v dubbers who where all freaky huggin lovers, sorry but ill just drive on , all though this sounds rude, i will gladly speak to other owners if i meet them and they want to chat.
i only wave at the middle aged lady with the mint red sport and i think she knows why ............im stalking her till she sell it to me

where is the all of the above option!?
i also 'WEHEY!' inside the car

too keen maybe!

My dad used to get this a lot in his camper van, at the time i used to think it was weird. I must admit i sometimes flash my lights or give a thumbs up and if its an M i have been known to scramble for my camera to take a quick pic!

Know that one all to way... 'WEHEY!' Forgot that I did that until you mentioned it.

I know most people who drive E30s around me. I'll flash or wave.

or mood dependent.
