Yeah there is a few e30 owners here now. I seen a mint red 325i sport the other day and the driver stuck his thumb up :D

there is also an m3 rep cab driving around here now looks tidy but you can tell its not the real macoy. Also a couple of white cabs and a white i.s are around here that i know of, dunno if they are all on the zone thow

on the down side there is only one e30 in a 30 mile radius of me in breakers yards :D

Sounds like the one it looked showroom, i thought it would be a zoner by the thumb up! It defo put mine to shame!

I use all the yards in telford which are useless for e30's, there is a 4 door 316 in metalic green at childs arcle? breakers near newport with some nice bits in..(mint interior,rear headrests,no rust anywere)i think it came in on the scrapage scheme as it was mint and i mean mint when they got it in,not much has gone from it i dont think.

You mean Furbers, Childs Ercle nr Newport, it used to be a very good scrappy, loads of space and always used to be jammed with motors, but now they seem to take the p1ss a bit

Welcome Neil :eek:

Its always been Furbers AFAIK, last time I went was about 18 months ago when scrap was high and there was fook all on the field. Cheeky gits were literally watching you walk round. Whats the company name now then? The Furbers in Whixhall is the same as its been for the last 30 years

I went a couple of weeks back and the childs ercle site is under new ownership, there is stacks of cars there now but only the one e30! It was always my least favourite scrappy as they were rip of merchants who blatently ''liked to watch'' :D

i cant think of the name its under now..its now 2 seperate places, with the yard one end and the salvage place as you go in which is also owned by someone else. As far as i know Whixall is still furbers. Some of the stuff at the whixall salvage place looks like its been there 30 years :D
