Can't put my camera in, this is about a week old.

Disregard the corsa, just happens to be the only picture I have right now with my E30 in.

It's staying for now, I may be stripping it and doing some track time. My mate killed his track toy earlier in the year and we are thinking of pooling our resources to make this a bit more fun.

No recent pics of mine, but it's covered in crud because I've had the lurgy and it's too cold to go outside and wash it. It does itself no favours by being so reliable and easy to drive, and having such a good heater! - I quickly forget about it as soon as the weather turns a bit grim. Will be doing some jobs in the spring though to get it more minty.

We had 6 inches of snow here last night! 8O After a drive back from Durham and now this, the 318is is looking a bit sad.

Hopefully, whn the weather improves, I'll be able to take some proper photos to post on here...

Dave, I didn't realise you still had that touring!

Is that the same one from Davenotouring from about 3-4 years ago?

Noooooo, thats a different one. I sold Dave's old one to a chap in Birmingham, last i heard of that was he'd put a conrod through the block, i doubt that's still going now, worth an online check though.

One above is one that was knocking about in the for sale section for ages earlier this year that got close to being broken up, just a mear coincidence it's the same colour and was converted to 2.5 using a sport engine/box/diff 8) , just like the last one 8) .

If I'm not visiting the 'rents, I have my car parked inside. Friday am, was snowy but car had been protected overnight.

Big coat, scarf, hat, heater on max and the roof down - no problemo. 8) Drove to work like that and the amount of looks (literally crazy staring) was incredible!

(Not today though...:()
