Looking tidy mate, that looks like a decent venue for a future group mini-photoshoot.

Dan, We will have to arrange a photoshoot day somewhere. I'm tempted to see if someone like Retro cars will do a joint feature on our cars?

Thanks everyone :D

Barry, We were going to take some pictures but the weather turned shite so went to the pub instead :P

I guess Santa pod was the biggest gathering of E30s in the Uk? I need to play with the settings on the camera as some of the pictures were a bit grainy from today :( We will have to find a good location and get a big group together for some shots.

Sorry I must add that all credit for the location goes to Paul who was with me at the rolling road day, He spotted this on the way in this morning so we stopped quickly.

Knew he would come in handy :D

Steve, Very kind of you to ask me to do your car but I don't do paid work anymore. I just can't fit it in with my work schedule and end up having no time to maintain my own cars. The E30 has only been washed twice in the last 5 months due to a lack of time :(

Chris, Shut it you slaaaaaaaaag :twisted:

Again, Thanks for the comments (Yes even you Barry)


It's staying put for now, I can't think what else I can buy that I will enjoy as much as this thing. Certainly not for the same money!

Why thank you, The old wheels were universally hated and most hate the RD wheels. The world would be boring if we all liked the same things.

A few new pictures from the other night, I've probably only done 400-500 miles this year and for about 4 weeks it sat at my welders house waiting for a slot where he wasn't busy/away (we decided that I kept putting off getting the work done and wasn't driving it anyway so may as well leave it at his ready for him)

Well not much has changed with the car apart from it's now solid. The usual places had gone but fortunately nothing above the surface so no paint required!

My mate is trying to get me to refinish the wheels in a dark anthracite/gloss black this winter as they are being redone, I'm not so sure so if anyone wants to get busy with photoshop I'd be pleased to see the results.

Glad to have it back and be driving it again, Really made me wonder why it got used so little! (Well cycling is the main reason)

I have a nice jobs list that I want to try to do before santa pod (new boot lid, sort intermittent connection on windows, fit f&r RD strut braces, tidy up under the bonnet, replace a few trim bits) but it's good to know it's at full health :D
