Thank you. Much better.

Now that the screen size is OK, let me welcome you to the Zone.

Don't worry about the mistake, you've apologised, and tried to put it right, so that's a good start.

Enjoy your stay at the Zone. Have a good evening.

Hiya Thanks for all the messages, I am currently in possession of a red 1987 4dr which i would love to restore, but being 9 months pregnant and skint does kinda make it difficult! :D

My b/f has a metallic black 1987 2dr.. which is far easier to work on.. only done 54k!

I just need to win the lotto and buy a house with a workshop.. you wouldnt find me buying ferrari's etc... e30's all the way!


P.s i was born in dolgellau north wales, but moved up to grasmere in lake district last year..

Both e30's are back home in wales.. :-( another thing hindering their restoration!

I'm half Irish myself you see, just don't like it when the Irish don't fight their "reputation", hence the remark...

I'm sure it was meant jokingly though :)

I am not sure... in wales we say "plastic welshman" for someone who claims to be welsh but cannot speak the language. (sorry dont mean to offend any one!!)

so plastic paddy could be taken in that sense... or more likely it means someone who claims to be irish just because their great grandfather was born there...
