My 'touring' won't break any speed records, but I'm proud of her and aim to make her as immaculate as possible :)

I think this should be about more than just a picture of your car. There should be a reason or a story behind it. Eko is still the winner in my eyes for that very reason.

Pics should follow a couple lines saying "Here's my baby, got me from Scotland to Cornwall without any hassles" or "Just rushed the wife to hospital for the birth of our bairn..." or "Bought the car of some old codger, swapped the engine for MOORE POOWER, for less than a grand..." You know what I mean. Otherwise there is nothing to separate the cars and it will get very tedious. People will lose interest.

Mr Clarksun could even set monthly criteria for the car of the month as a challenge.

New standard 325i inserts and mtech springs, i've fitted coupe rear springs to allow a slighter drop as the convertible/tourer springs are stiffer. Standard inserts still give great handling with a smoother ride, fancied a change from the harsh ride this year. Mtech a placed away for future. 18" Reps fitted too.
