I had a 325i sport and sold it and made a profit matey...........I dont give a flying fuck about your e30 or your s50...........Like I said, I like e30's but I dont go overboard on there capabilities, Theyre good cars at the end of the day but they rust and are old and shite on fuel. Ive had 1 e30 and been in many and so I can say what I like pal.

Bob s fair play to you, I hope that his comments made you happy and I wish you many happy years of motoring in your 2.7.

Anybody that has bought a standard E30 purely for the speed factor, is going to be very dissapointed.
Unless it was 20 odd years ago. End of.

what i don't understand is why you sold the sport fora house buy, to juicy etc and then paid out another 4kish on a golf now onto something else?!

integra tyre R is widely regarded as one of the best handling FWD cars ever, but it jap so it must be bad :?

Not likely, he's sold the crappy old M20 donk and will soon be in the 24v club :)

Id rather have a slow rusty E30 than a pox ridden wallet eating rice burner though...

Simon not thats its any of your business but I did sell the sport for a house deposit and bought a golf tdi and had a years trouble free cheap motoring ! Im now in a better position financially due to getting a better paid job, I can go and spend money on a car for weekend use because I have a company van with fuel card ! Hope that explains it clearly enough for you, you nosey sod. I also mulled over getting an Integra and its still a possibility.

And so, as the thread reached maturity, a sad undertone of childish argument reared it's un-welcome head. Finally, it was culled on a tree stump with a blunt bladed log splitter, and was never seen again.
