I've got a feeling that not many of you are going to appreciate all of these. But they've been nominated here, so someone thinks they aren't bad. :)
Whether they're to your taste or not they've all had a lot of time money spent on them, and I'm sure their owners wouldn't much fancy a swap for some 15" BBS and some 4x4 spec standard suspension.

So let's have your nominations for cars that wouldn't fit in with last months contestants, but that you think are great all the same. This isn't a chance to post rubbish, & you've only got one nomination each.

So place your vote! Which of these best represents the "council E30"? You've got 5 days from... now!

That was a real tough one actually!
But I went for snooka's 316i in the end, becuase it is purely council but gorgeous at the same time! Very :cool:

For me there are some totally drool-tastic motors here. Right up my street. A very tough decision to make indeed.

In the end it was between Jhonno's 24v thing and snooka's Euro E30. I went for Snooka's cos it looks awesome.

All worthy winners though. Good luck all!

Anyway enough of that, the point of this thread is 'Council' and HKF's has it down.... Total unashamed Council :D

I'm not sure if my voting is in keeping with the "council" theme, or just for cars I really really like. :?
Not in E30s any more :(
