Not another 'Zoner from my home town? Have you met-up with johnl yet? Topper is our John. :thumb:
If I ever get back down there for more than a few hours, we'll have to try to arrange a mini-meet. I'm sure there's another member there too.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

Hhmmm - Tidworth.
Anyone who doesn't know the area or doesn't have military connections probably knows it for being where James Blunt comes from. :roll:

I'm in Poole, with a 318i Touring in Lagoon green.
Would be up for an Andover meet, only about 3/4hr away.

There's an E30 meet in Portsmouth meeting at Portsdown Hill at Mick's Monster Burger van at 10.00 this Saturday, going on to an 11.00 meet at Hindhead.
There's also a meet on the 18th, at the burger van again. This is an E30 / E36 meet, arranged by TangoBeemer, (E36) who also likes E30s so we're invited too. This meet is at 12.00.

All in the meets section mate.

Theres a load of zoners in Croydon, some of who get down to the Guildford meets on the 2nd Wed of every month.

I'm only just the other side of Redhill and BSS325i is in Purley. Another newbie on here I noticed was in Reigate.

Why the hell haven't I seen these cars in Andover? Cheers for the kind words Stu.

Mine is a 335 project incomplete and awaiting a prop (still). Daily commuter was a 320 hence the name but alas no more.

Gets yourselves on the Salisbury plain meet fellas.
