This is just a general one to let you all know how much i'm enjoying being a proud owner of an E30. I usd to own a corsa, which at the start of its life was a 1.2, but once i'd owned it for about 4 years i decided that it needed to be more exciting, so i went down the conversion route and a c20xe was poked in. It was awesome, i thoroughly enjoyed annoying my mates in there 2.5s and bullying kiddys in their boyed up saxos, however, throughout the corsa life i also had a problem with it. Every little job i needed to do on it took forever to do, simple things like fitting fog lights to the gsi bumper that i bought, that took about an hour or so!!!

I now realise how annoying this used to be when last sunday, during a short break in fitting a new clutch, i decided to have a quick look at fitted my new fogs on the E30, no more than 10minutes later and they were in!! Its amazing, i think of something that i'd like tweaking, i might pop up a post on the zone, i then get alot of advice and parts that i can buy from very helpful people (cheers everyone) couple of days later and its all fitted without a single bit of hassle.

It still amazes me that a 22year old car can work and run better than an 11year old corsa.

So there it is, basically wanted to say thanks to everyone thats helped me, and to let you all know how much i'm enjoying owning something that we all have in common :D
