I'll be a new name to a lot of you reading this, but to a select few, I'm an old face. To you old-skoolers out there, yea, I still have my Tech 1. Yea, it's still in bits. Nah, I don't care because after all, it's a project, right?
So I had a look around the Zone tonight, read a few post and realised TWO things.....
1. Prices have gone up 'a bit' (read as "a f**k-ton") for genuine mint stuff.
Maplights at £80+,
Tech1 valances needing a respray £175 and
(dis)comfort interiors for £275
. Back in the day those bits were £45/£100/£40 a go... and that's IF you could get rid of them!
At this rate, my Sport is now worth somewhere close to how much I've spent on it!
2. That there are still some old names chatting the same B.S that they always used to
There's also a whole drove of new ones talking even more 
than before 
What remains though, are some amazing people who give their time and knowledge to those who have stumbled into E30 ownership, for free.
And that's the way that I like to remember The Zone before I went all modern and needed a car to be comfortable and quiet and all that other boring sh*t. Kermit13, Barry, BrianMooooooooooooore
Ole 'God Boy' Roger you four are like constants of the Universe! PacerPete you deviant, You're my hero! So Old-Skoolers, tell me.... who can I trust to buy off these days? I'd like to get some stuff for the Sport and The people that I know seem to have moved on.
Eternally,
Your Brother In Rust

I shall say no more 
not turned a wheel on the road for 8 1/2 years. Oh the shame!
