Ive read all the thread so far and cant find anyone who has a duff word for it so who am I to spoil the show?

What an excellent presantation :D :D :D

It made me want to know and see so much more about something I have owned for over six years .

The best thing about it was your enthusiasm and that came across brilliantly :D

More please !!!!

this is a good video and you do have a good voice/presentaional style which is what counts for tv journalism i guess. Just one thing I thought g plate 325's all had abs?

Oh sweet deal!! :D

Really chuffed you stuck the video on the homepage, so that is very alright by me, Steve!

Thanks guys for all the positive comments! I'm on the hunt for BMs of a similar era to do another review on (or anything retro), so if anyone has ideas, let me know.

I'm sure that all E30s have ABS so it was my mistake in the video; my ABS has never worked though...

I'm still in Devon and stuck with limited internet, which is why I've been pretty quiet recently. Business as usual as of next week 8)

This was awesome dude, nice one. Totally would have thought it was a segment from Fifth Gear if I hadn't read this thread beforehand!

Well Done mate,

I already saw this review whilst randomly searching on Youtube around 6 weeks ago. Gald it was put up by a zoner.

I think we need a more detailed version though, going through everything.

Part 2?

I think that sounds a very good idea! What an awesome car :D

If you are keen, I'd write a feature on it too including photos, which will go on my website, plus mag if editors are keen...

As for Fifth Gear, it was an awesome experience. Look out for the episode with the Porsche GT2 RS, which is the one I helped out on.

For now, I'm working at Autocar, but weekends are free for retro playtime :D


Let me know if you get the E28.
