E30 Zone

Just a couple of pics from on the way to Stirling.
Nice to have meet up with some old and new faces.
Sorry we couldn't do the cruise.












Had to pick up some bits from James

it was a good turn out all the same sorry we didn't do the run either just we had no idea there was a run involved but its not unusual for a local meet to end out back at mine but as we say all is always welcome and the neighbours are used to the bmws being outside now

good pics btw

well ill start the cruise pics of then.

How too start a E30 Neil style (sorry but i had to start with this pic)


and then in no order the rest



normal parking


then Neil decided to take the led and drove up here, its alot steaper than in the pics.



nice roads



and nicer cars



the sun came out and it was a good day.

Cheers Neil and all who turned up.

Some nice pictures Sanchez.looked like a good run.

was some good roads, and with BadDave up front in his 316, everyone got left behind, and thats no joke.

my back box can off twice after i went over a wee crest chasing BadDave.

Dave did seem to get the most out of that 316.

a few of mine including the filthy brake smoking jag

Here are some of my pics my 1st e30 meet and good to see all you guys

And for starters or should i say non starters nah only joking Nickso
Jag XJR

Good dose of pics there min,i went and forgot the camera (again).. only sorry we couldnt make it for the run i know the road over to kenmore is a good run, with some excellent "backdrops" but we had prior arrangements for the afternoon

on the bright side though, i will enjoy the next run better after collecting my manual box and slipper today

As it was the heaviest and most underpowered one there,it wasn't going to be great on the straights, so i thought i'd better make up for it on the twisty bits.

Was actually frustrating having to slow down so you guys could catch up
I don't normally do SLOW

3/4 of a tank to about 160 miles and it spent most of it's time in 2nd or 3rd gear for most of the single track roads.
Would have been more economical in the old 325 Tourer

Must remember that it's not running the Brembo brake setup YET

Was fun tho

I think a good time was had by all who stayed till Pitlochry

Is Ritchie gonna be picking you up in the Sport next time and let you ride shotgun

A great day out - some cracking B road driving.
Here's a few of my pics:





























A shame more people couldn't do the run, but good to see so many E30s at Stirling.
Looking forward to Glamis now.....

After the day at Glencoe earlier this year, we were hoping to make this one Grant, but the car's pieces again.

Maybe next time?

Mick

sorry to hear that Mick what getting done to it ?

well done on Grant's car being just run in.

and i managed 200.9miles on about 3/4 tank.

Pics look good folks!

I'm toying with selling Nick my red jack handle to match his "hooker red" jag...

The run was damn good fun, just a pity dave was a bit slow up front

Neil, what the hell happened to your face man?

I suggest you use that big red bar to try and remove those furry rodents from your cheeks!!!!

Looks like a great meet! Stunning weather, great scenary!!! I'll try and make the next one!

yeah daryl u were doing a bit of off roading there at one stage. I was going to post my pics up but there mainly of the back of Daryls car as i tried to keep up and pretty much the same as above.

Yeah that was lack of concentration too busy trying to take pics myself ended up on nearly every grass verge, that hill was a bit tricky at first for me had it in 2nd but it wasn't having it , i hope there's no rubber on your bonnet with all that spinning haha.

Badly failed MOT James. Mainly suspension bushes, but also the front wings weren't fixed to the floor. Stripped it down to find holes in the sills too. Guy at work used to work in a coachbuilders so he's doing what he can with the body.

He should be finished this week, then it's off the the garage for an estimate.

Thanks for the offer James, but I can't find the form at the minute. It's going to a different garage for the MOT so i might get better results.
