I had a guy stop at the house in a stunning white M3 (with oxblood leather) a couple of weeks ago. His looked stunning after justing having a detail and the wheels refurbed, whilst mine was in bits where I was dyno matting it. :o:

He's a zoner too but cannot remember his name either. :o:

It's always cool when you get a flash though. 8)

the only time i get flashed is by speed cameras.
i never flash anyone unless i actually know them . flashing someone because theyre in the same car is sad. its like waving to everyone on other passing busses because youve taken the bus into work :D

I used to get flashed at quite a bit in my iS, but that was mostly from the Fritzs boys and people I know are zoners, doesn't happen so much in the touring, wonder why? :roll:
Not in E30s any more :(

Last summer I was stopped in trafic and a Vauxhall Corsa with three yoofs in it pulled up next to me.

A passenger of the Corsa leaned across and shouted from the open window at me "OLD SCHOOL COOOOOL, RECOGNIIISE"!

I was quite flattered, a bit bemused and slightly embarassed! 8O

the other day i got flashed by a 1 series, i was going too slow apparently, 60 on a duel carrageway, when i gave him the (five knuckle shuffle wave) he made a gesture of loads of money , as if look at my expensive car and your heap :roll: .

well i think his arse gave out at about 90, as he pulled over into the slow lane , and as i pulled up beside him he wouldn't even look out of his window, let alone make any more hand signals
if there wern't people like me,
with cars like mine,
who would you put down to make yourself feel better?

They are like buses you dont see one for ages then. . .

Ste what colour is your car?? got a mate who works on the ind est and he said he's seen a red e30 flying about :evil:

The only reason people flash with 2 fingers is cause there car's arent as nice as ours winkeye
