Hell no! I'd definately have an Evo Sport / Alpina / Hartge in my collection, but the thing that's great about 'normal' E30s is the value. It'd have to be something that cost at least twice as much for me to want to swap it, but if I won the lottery that'd hardly be an issue would it?!

Hmmm id be tempted to find the best Evo III out there, then proceed to drive the b*llocks off it! As in my proposed garage of exotica it would be a relatively cheap machine!

lol lol lol russ :P

i might buy an evo 3, or one of those hartge thingies (the m3 shelled one) with the m5 engine, just for a laugh tho - to see what it's like! i couldn't see myself keeping it though, cos it'd look just like a normal e30 inside...and if i wanted a track animal it'd probably be caterham or elise winkeye

Loads of mulla = exceedingly fast & beautiful E30, probably at least two.

Of course! :cool:

But what else would you have... Italian exotica, M5's, M3's... anything else less obvious?

Me? Rally prepared 2002 maybe, or a Chevette HSR, something of that ilk for Classic Rallies. A De Tomaso Pantera, the obligatory Lambo Miura, a Porsche 944S2 (I know, but I've always liked 'em), a 427 Cobra... etc, etc.

All housed in the extremely secure, huge, air conditioned garage which I would live above in my one bed apt (one huge room with pool table, air hockey, f*ck-off AV centre, bar, etc.) whilst the wife & weans reside in the house... wherever that may be. :wink:

Plus another similarly equipped garage full of two wheel fun. :D

Oh, and a specially prepared GT car for the Gumball... (almost forgot) :oops:
'89 325i - was an SE but not anymore, was bronze-beige metallic (yeuch!) but now techno-violet (thankfully)
'89 Toyota Corolla GTi-16 - track, hillclimb & sprint car (yeeha!)
'08 Buell XB12Ss - American engineering at it's 'best'... good fun though

You selfish gits!! You only think about yourselves.

If I won the lottery I would pay for everyone who posts regularly to have every single problem solved with their E30 and then do whatever engine conversion they wished, whats ever modifcations they wanted. Everyone would get Ԛ£12000 to spend.

Those who spend lots of money through Zone shop would get a nice E34 M5 as a bonus.

To top this off I would buy a racing circuit and offer free trackdays all years round with 1/2 price tyres.

If I won stupid amounts of money I would buy out the oil compaines and get myself a seat in the goevernment and reduce petrol prices to 20p a litre. I would make diesel Ԛ£100 per litre to get rid of the pollution.

For myself - I would twin turbo my E34 M5 and put a twin turbo S38 into a minter of a 325i Touring with mtec 2 kit.

Finally I would buy out Ford and vauxhall and stop production to make the world a better place. I would buy out Merc and ask them to stop making cars that are faster than BMW's.

Everyone would be happier!

You'll get my vote!

Sal for El Presidente!

We should start a petition: "Tony out, Sal in"...

...if you're really lucky he might leave a surprise waiting for you at #10... Cherie... :puke:

...that'd be enough to put anyone off standing against him! Maybe that's what happened? Exert of conversation:
Toj: "Hey, Gordo you can be PM but only if you take this off my hands!"
Gordo: "Nah, it's alright mate, I'll just wait another 4 years..."


P.S. Sal, when are the H&R ARB's coming in?

Yeah i would keep mine, took me long enough to get it and even longer to get it into a shape where im happy with it wouldnt get rid of it at all. Even if a got a job with a company car. I'd garage it and use it now and again.
