Yup, that's right... it's just sold on Ebay for Ԛ£2100!!!

He's picking it up on Thursday night with cash... hopefully.

Damn it. Was seceretly hoping it wouldn't sell so I could keep her...

Oh well, 90% of the fun was building it... so I'll just have to start from fresh with an M30 monster instead...

Just an E28 man now... no E30's.

Doesn that mean no one will talk to me now...? :cry:

I know I know...

Kinda feel depressed now. Hope he looks after it and enjoys it as much as I have. It's full of great goodies.

Just make sure you don't leave it a lone to long at the services or an E30 owner might "borrow" the engine :chuckle:

Funny thing is, I bought it with the intention of running it till the thing fell to bits and I could use it as a donor, but I reckon it'll keep on going for ever!

It's not mint, but it's bloody solid, and it's not too bad to drive round in. I've had much worse cars!

It's even got me appreciating the more relaxed driving style that one associates with an automatic!

It would be totally unacceptable if you didn't return with either an engine conversion or an M3, I mean, you've had all the rest :lol:

I WILL RETURN!

Not sure what with, or when it'll be, but I'm still a Zoner and will continue to be on here and go to meets (even with a 20 bolter)!

Thinking of a Euro style'd M30 street sleeper / track monster... watch this space.

Erm....this is about the third time you've asked this dude :mad: :D

I sent you a PM to say it had arrived and you sent me a PM back.

225LBS @ 4000rpm

Cam and a chip will see about 240bhp @ 6000rpm APX

I got the tubing from either Rally Design or Deemon Tweeks, only available in blue though i think ?

I'd have liked black, blue looks a bit rice

Yup... phone call to confirm that she's being picked up on Thursday night in exchange for some lovely cash.

Trouble is, I had another phone call this morning ofering me MORE money as the guy missed the last few minutes on Ebay last night... Grrrrr!

Gonna give her a drive round tomorrow evening, give her a blast to clear her out... been stood for two months now. Still starts first time!
