Once again, its almost the second Tuesday of the month, and probably the last Ashby Folville monthly meet worth going to - September can be very unpredictable due to the weather and the light is fading much earlier.

I've been posting about this event since April and some zoners have managed to make it, and we've had a great evening. There is always a great mixture of cars in attendence, and usually a couple of thousand people show up. Please see the following link for more info, pics etc for more details

Were you in a verrrry nice red 318is, or the red M3 ? I don't think I saw any other E30's than kingofswings white Touring.

Estimated turnout 4,000 people!

Restored Red 318is, you should have come and had a chat. There was another one there for sale and I was tempted but don't really have the space for it.
I didn't see the M3. I'd really like an M3 but the iS is a nice drive.

Your car looks fantastic. Really really clean car. There was a few people milling around it when I was having a look (when the bonnet was up) but no-one who looked owner-ish!

I have a poorly lit and probably out of focus pic of you leaving, I'll post it here shortly.

I took my E30 as per my avatar, a scabby black 325i. I can never get there early enough to park up in the cricket pitch field due to travelling from Northampton.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for you next time & come say hi.

You need to get there by 5pm to get in the main show field but there are that many great cars there its always good to look around both fields.
everyone is really friendly up there, its a nice night out.
Get the 325 up there next month. The more E30's the better.

I've been every month this year, except for July, as the weather was really shite. Theres always a really small zone turnout, even though I've been posting dates etc well in advance since the April meet. More people turn out to go and stand in a pub car park next to a motorway in Coventry :roll:
