hi, it be good to know any members in my area as im new to the zone and have just bougt my e30, my dream car, finally. anyone out thier. i love the e30 its one of my classic cars which you love no mater how old they are, so anyone around my town share the same passion let me know because technically i dont know much about this car except for its looks and power. i been on this site for a few months and the wealth of knowledge regarding the e30 is immense. keep up the good work everybody, this site is priceless. Anybody even in the north west area lets hook up and cruise. e30 all the way.
