A sad sight......

[Joshy]

It is a empty rotting carcass devoid of any life.

Sadly this is where you show either ignorance in general or just a lack of knowledge - you choose which.
It's the remnants of a Sport Evo of which very few were made, and BMW are not making any more. It's a piece of junk for sure, but a piece of junk with value. A mint example is worth £20-25'000 and the values are only going one way.
I wouldn't be interested in it per se, but someone with a lot more talent than you could do something with it - either restore it back to standard after hunting down the correct parts, or build a superb track car.

But if you say it's junk, so be it. How many Sport Evos have you owned again? Remind me!

Do you bother to read my entire posts, or do you just highlight a particular phase you don't like and take a bash at whinging about it? I've not ONCE said that the shell has not go a monetary value (feel free to check), I have simplely said from a PERSONAL STAND POINT that an e30 M3 is one of those rare cars that are made up of more than the sum total of its parts, meaning from a PERSONAL STAND POINT that shell is worthless.

That's not to say that someone with "more talent than me" could not restore it, but again from a personal standpoint, I can't see why'd you want to, it's silly an old rusty carcass.

As for it being a Evo Sport? Completely irrelevant to this argument as what is stamped on the vin and logbook makes this car no less of a turd.

Congratulations for completely missing the point.

Joshy just how the fook can you come up with this sh!t? It's just so immense the crap you've written

The front you have is amazing it really is.

Postage stamp and E30's spring to mind along with trampdrift and cock

and do you think we care about your opinion that is only valid to yourself?

Sharing opinions is generally what people do on forums ...

[Bob_S]

There is opinion and there is fact.

People only want to hear facts not someone spouting bollocks about how an M3 shell is worthless to them because they can't afford to rebuild one

Agreed, but you are being a spanner, again. I just flicked from that Clarkson thread, where I noticed you'd completely missed the point.

[Jhonno]

Joshy are you seriously that much of a tool, or just great at pretending?!

You completely miss the point... Once again

Seriously, pipe down and stop spouting shit, or just go back to hobodiff'in and write another nasty post about the nasty e30 owners

Think we've been here before Jhonno, how do you find them or do they come to you?

[d6dph]

Please stop arguing. I have already asked once and this will get locked if you can't play nicely together. Now share those toys like good lads

[hubble]

I only went off to make a cup of tea....

There's been plenty of which nearly ended in joshy being

Instead we should all be having a followed by a and chill because it's

[Rosc0PColtrane]

[magpie]

nice thought but no chance really.
obviously only one fire starter again,,and AGAIN,,kills a good read.
most of us have not even met each other..and perhaps might not be so free with their words if they had..

[fuzzy]

its only because i dont know most personally that im more restrained that i might otherwise be.

[magpie]

saving it up till you meet a bucketmouth on a meet?

[e21Jason]

I wonder what the ratio of Shells Vs Engines is

I guess about 10:1

I have 3 engines and a full set of running gear
JBH's mate Gordon has a written e30 m3
Theo has an awsome collecion of parts
and none of use can find a decent shell.

The fact that there are shells negelect is going to wind a few peolpe up, but not as much as people who miss the point.

Jason

[harry_p]

yep, a lot more engines than shells. infact, can you still buy blocks new?

there are / were lots of eople racing m3s, and i expect a lot of the bigger teams had lots of spare engines, and i expect a lot of people bought new engines to do a build on whilst being able to keep their car running with the engine it came with.

engines also tend not to rot away, and survive collisions rather better than the flimsy metal shell they're transported around in

saying that, it was still possible to buy m3 shells untill not that long ago, so i guess there are both more shells and engines than m3s

saving it up till you meet a bucketmouth on a meet?

no, theres far more important things to worry about than opinions on the internet.

Yes like getting my Christmas presents!!

Gino, where do you get a these emoticons from?!

[bss325i]

most of us have not even met each other..and perhaps might not be so free with their words if they had..

If people every have a problem with what i say and feel the need to meet me face to face then people only have to look in the meets section to come meet me.

[barryj]

Handbags at 10 paces, lol.

[magpie]

ding ding R1,but thats your choice,i'm a bit the same,,
still i think that getting a slagging of someone you never met is shxte,,,when you know you'd knock em out in the same bar for probs less shxte,as you'd be there to shut the mug up.

What i said wasn't aimed at you magpie.

The other people know who they are.

[magpie]

Crossed swords lol!

Merry christmas.

[fuzzy]

for me theres nobody on here that bothers me enough to waste time boxing with and ive has disagreements with many over trivial matters.in real life im not known for my understanding nature but to get bitter and twisted over someones opinion on the internet is a sad person to be.

[Jon_Bmw]

I'm going to knock you out fuzzy you caaaant!

[bss325i]

I've not had anyone threaten me yet. I just dont want to be labled as a keyboard warrior. As i said i'm willing to discuss things face to face.

[bss325i]

in real life im not known for my understanding nature....

I bet that cyclist will agree with you!

[adit]

what was this thread about again? merry christmas everyone!

[fuzzy]

which one? they had it coming
its different in real life, peoples words dont bother me , things can get heated but its quickly forgotten but if someone comes at me i dont ask questions.

Hope you like them? I've got a few websites Barry, will post them to you

[Joshy]

I guess the "numpty" that you both refer to is me, and that is completely cool. I know that some members on here might dislike me because of some of the things that I say, and as far as I'm concerned that is completely fine because I have always and will always write my honest opinion, I'm not going to sugar coat or hold my tongue on a subject just so that I don't don't rock the boat. As far as I'm concerned forums like this are about two things, sharing knowledge and sharing opinions, conflicting or not. If we all comented on this thread with the same "Aww, such a shame" mentality then this would have been a rather dull read. Variety is the spice of life, and all that.

Like it or loathe it, I will always speak my mind.
