Alright all, just curiosity really, but there are 38598 forum members here, not everyone will vote, but I just wondered as I have read many people saying their E30 is in storage -

How many peoples E30's are fully legal, and how many are off the road either broken or storage?

I will start, mine is in storage to save funds.

Currently in the garage getting work done. But even once I am finished it won't be used a lot due to being a competition car
