Congrats to Dan for the feature in the new edition of TBMW. Had to swing by WHS on the way home for my copy.

A benchmark E30 :cool:

Also, first official mention of our little elite club outside of the zone from resident wordsmith Andy Everett. :)

Mate I drove all over on my way home from my late finish. Couldn't get it anywhere. I have been waiting to read this since November. Anyone scan the cover so we can see it?

It's a fooking quality E30. My personal favourite.

Oh and CR24v FTW. :cool:

Well done brother:D

Oi, why is everyone picking on Rav these days. Just because they had to Photoshop his turd for the front cover, doesn't mean he is fair game Paul. :nono: :nono: winkeye

I don't have a scanner, so the best I can do is to post photos taken of it. Had to kill the flash, so they are not the best, but you get the idea.
