[Richy325iTouring]

nice road that.

when the next one then

[bwanac]

I need to get some meets like that together over here in the states.

That black M3 w/ the Hartge wheels is amazing, as is the red convertible w/ the Alpinas. Damn nice cars mates, very jealous.

[Simon]

We get problems in the UK with people not willing to travel to meets that are to far away! The US guys make road trips for meets...bit of a difference in size between the UK and the US innit!!

We have a meet in Washington each year called the Pacific Northwest E30 Picnic, in which over 150 E30's were present last year. This year, there is expected to be well over 200, with several E30's coming almost 1k miles from California.

Here is a panorma shot from last year's get-together:

Mine was off the road with a cracked head at the time! I was passenger in Steve's silver Touring!

[Rav335uk]

[Jesus325iTouring]

Looking fro some old pics and found mine

Wow,and mine,and it's all one colour and looking considerably cleaner than it is at the moment,man,I gotta tidy mine up,I hadn't realised how scruffy it's gotten over the years.
Mind,it's done about 80,000 more miles since those pics

[Rav335uk]

Flippin hell!!!!! 80,000 in 5 yrs.
16,000 miles per yr.
Where do you go??
Mind, in your profession I bet you do more miles than that really.
I bet you've turned your clocks back too LOL

[Simon]

Old post bump!

[Jesus325iTouring]

Old skool Zoners Old post bump!

Hows the family Simon?

Rav,you know it,intergalactic Jesus

[Simon]

Family is good Rog.

Yours?

I miss the old welsh meets!

[Rav335uk]

Me too, enjouyed the drive up there.
Simon, why not arrange one for Aug????

[Simon]

I gave up on them after interest dwindled away, last meet I think only 4 cars turned up, and that was in the summer.

I could give it a try I suppose..

[Rav335uk]

That's dissapointing really.
It does seem that alot of people prefer to sit behind a screen and interact rather than a GOOD meet and actually see the people who you blogg with.
I ended up at the BBB BBQ on saturday, 300 round mile trip, but i wanted to meet the people on the zone, so I know who i'm taking the pi55 out of or having a laugh with.
Jesus has stuck in my mind till now as a good character and you too.
So put it out there and if its in Aug, I can defo be there.

[ImysE30]

E30Gheko was sorting out a Wales Meet at his restaurant? North Wales i think

[Simon]

Who could forget Roger!

I will give it a go. See what sort of interest there is.

Doesn't seem to be so many zoners in South Wales anymore, most seem to have turned out to be wankers anyway!

[Simon]

It's quite a trip to North Wales from South Wales, roads are awesome mind!

[Rav335uk]

Imy's young and thinks Wales is only a 10min drive from point to point LOL

[Simon]

I wish it was.

No motorway linking North to South!

[ImysE30]

Probably is in your M30 Never did pay much attention in Geography lessons at school

[Rav335uk]

And yet you have returned from the "Road trip" to Wales LOL

[ImysE30]

Roads were quite good, the 1 series handled them well

[Rav335uk]

So you'll be commin to this meet then when arranged?

[ImysE30]

Depending on when it is, definitely up for it. Always good to meet new faces from the Zone

[Jesus325iTouring]

Pleased to hear it Simon.

I would certainly be up for a Welsh meet,missed quite a few for a couple of years due to family commitments and work and serious lack of money
