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
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.
Well done brother:D

Another sorry rust ridden turd clinging to an MOT somehow manages to get into a magazine

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.
