Hestercombe Gardens - 08/05/05 (56K Beware)

[E30Adam]

Here are my pictures from the Hestercombe meet today.

It was good to see some of the old faces again... Andy Everett, Henry, Dave H26 and also the new faces I met.

Around 20-30 E30's today and the usual selection of awful E36's. There was a nice selection of sixes and a lovely M5 along with a nice example of the unusual Z1.

There are also a few shots of a poverty spec 318i which reminds me of the Rockingham Council Taxi!! Brilliant number plate too!

Showed a brand new 328Ci owner who was boss on the way back too, the look on his face was a classic.

[Adam318i]

Was a good day out, slightly smaller than i expected, but was nice to see an E30 M3 finally!

Good to meet you to Adam.

Mostly took the same pics as you, but here's some anyway.

Yes Ron's red sport, after seeing, and speaking to Ron about his wheels, and the refurb job that was done on them, trust me you wouldn't be wanting them!!

[6potWil6pot]

Where did he get them refurbished, Did it cost loads to get them done or was it a bad job?

[Simon]

Somewhere in Gloucester, very poor job, and he's not a happy chappy!

[E30Adam]

That targa top blue thing is just a badly converted bauer. It looks "different" from a distance and even factory up to a point but once you start looking a bit closer you can see where the work has been done.

There were 2 motorsport cabs there, I tried to persuade Becky to drive hers but she wouldn't and wished she'd bought it once we got there

[325SME]

Just a quick note to congratulate Andy Evans (Tudor) on winning the show and shine competition, his car is the red E30 cab A17 TUD. Made his day as it was up to its axles in mud last Monday at the Swansea show and he's worked all week to clean it up again!!

[gazm3]

It looks like the split rims show.

The M3 convertible looks great also.

[E30Adam]

he's worked all week to clean it up again!!

... and a damn good job he did of it too!!!

Those brake discs looked like they were tust taken out the box (or were they?)!

He did tell me how he keeps them clean but for the life of me I can't remember!! Funniest thing was last Monday when it started raining, 10 of us under a 6 feet x 6 feet gazebo trying to stay dry, 9 of us huddled in one corner and Andy in the other looking like he was about to lose it big time coz his cab never comes out in the rain!

[Splondike]

Some great cars there

Yeah Wil it was at Gaydon mate..

Looks like a good show lads... just a bit too far away for me

Gonna get my butt to midlands rolling road meet though but not in the sport unfortunately.

Hi Guys

Thanks for some great pics. One of these days I will find time to talk to more people and look closer at the cars. But it was good to meet some of you.


Ron

PS We dont talk about the wheels!!!!!

[jibbers]

Jibbers here , what can i say , what a good day it turned out to be , it was a real eye opener for me , but im glad i went in the end , i was a bit dubious about going at first , but everybody i spoke to was spot on .
Although i did not get the chance to actually speak to any zoners , i spoke to a few people and saw that it wasnt all die hard E30 loonies !
Dont get me wrong some people are so into it i couldnt believe , for instance the man of the day from wales , i dont think they come any more dedicated than that !
FAIR PLAY
And for a change it was nice to see a pic of my car on the zone that i didnt post ......I'M FOOKIN FAMOUS ! ! ! !

Cheers guys Jibbers

[Dominitry]

[Simon]
