Hi to all. Just a question to find out who else was over at ashford diner on sat 12th. Trying to put some names to faces that were down there.

Also, there were a few people there taking pics and i'd be very interested to see some if anyone can load them up. Mine and my mates cars were the two 325 tourings, one white and one grey with the sunstrip, down the end of the car park and if anyone has photo's of these two i'd like to see how they came out.

Cheers

Argh! lots to reply to!!!

Hi 1an, spotted yours a mile away cos its all over e30zone. Didn't get a chance to say hello but then i don't know what you look like! lol. Well tidy interior matey.

Saw your green cab too essexboy, looked quite clean from where i was.

Hi steve-e30. Remember having a chat with ya, i'll go take a look at the photo's in a short while and see if mine still looks like a shed in the pics!!!

Hey e30den, was yours the ultra ultra polished bright red 325?

Hi Speedtouch, saw your motor up there, nice looker. Glad you put a message up actually cos i'd like one of your chips for my 325 please. You come highly recommended for them. I work in canterbury and live in faversham so i can come pick it up whenever. Could you PM me about that please? Cheers

Jam172, me and my mate both thought gareths was the 335 conversion one. Do you know how much works involved with that car cos i'm feeling tempted by it.

Anyhow, cheers all for helping put some names to faces. Hopefully mine will look a little less shed like next time there's another meet. Keep me posted

Hi Tomislav,

I was there in a Blue E30 Cab and a Silver E39 Sport Touring. I was wandering round with some old geezer with a Lazerblau E30 Touring (my Dad) wearing a "Benny from crossroads" hat to keep my bald head warm.

Was good to see so many cars in Jan :cool:

Hey splondike, yeah i remember you cos you cycled back home so you could get your other car as well! Nutter, but there's dedication for ya.

Cheers speedtouch, i'll look at the pm in a minute and sort out details with ya.

Gareth, reckon i'll leave thee 335 conversion for the time being and stick with the turbo route i was gonna go down originally. Saw a wicked turbo kit in america, gonna get one this time next year. Should be done for summer 2009!!! Hopefully

1an, i'll defo catch ya up southend or similar as soon as i'm next up there. I'll stay in touch and let you know when that might be
