Dude, Its still bad, My mate was working on there, Refurbing houses, Got loads of council housewifes coming onto him, Which he liked, What he didnt like though was the smack heads trying to nick everything not screwed down, And random phsycos throwing bricks at him and attacking him with bats. Suppose you get bad people in alot of areas though, Theres also good people on there to, Just a shame the ruff ones spoil it for the rest.

Yeah if you cut through Gatley to Sharston to get to the M56, Its parked in front of some houses near the traffic lights, You're right its totally original. The guys had it sometime, I'd forgotton about it until today, Not been in that area for ages. Wonder if he knows he's got a sought after car or if he just thinks its an old BMW.

You know I might just go and find abit more about it, there is no indication of a mods or boy racer crap on it. I have notice it has the full streering lock covering the steering whelel. Trust me they will need it around there.

I bet the person thinks its an Old 325SP, Its no one from the zone or Club BMW as there is no stickers on it, and I think its a William BMW dealer car also.

The Sherlock (Jay)will investigate further.

Normally meet at Ferrybridge services(Yorkshire), up round the M60 meet the North Manchester lot at the cattle grid near Sowby Bridge. Convoy to Ferrybridge, meet up with the Tykes and Northern Monkeys. (Newcasle, Leicester & Lincs.)

He should get something going this side, because there is loads of us this side. To lazy :roll:

There are loads of Zoners in the North West. I'm surprised you don't have a Manchester meet.

I used to live in Edgeley, Stockport for 5.5 years. In fact, I am up there every couple of months to see family.

If you do sort out a meet, maybe I'll drop in one if the timing is right.

What do you say guy's. I say we should get the ball rolling soon.

It does make me feel that little bit posher, saying I'm from Cheshire. Just need to Hitch the horse cart to the back of the Range Rover and get the wellies on and start talking posh.(NOT)

Mate, She's got good taste. Im just a fan of BMW's overall, I got the e36 as a daily driver about 4 years ago, Cant fault it, as ive had fords and vauxhalls before that were turd. Its never let me down or cost me in repairs apart from usual maintenance, Ive not modded it in anyway apart from stereo etc, coz cant see the point in modding a 316i. I am gettin an e30 coz they've got more character than the e36 but overall the e36 is also a good car. There is alot of e36 CHAV wrongness in MANCHESTER area aint there. I just laugh at some of the blinged up e36's knockin about. :D
