Stone chips, it's been changed now though

Well she lasted the week.. the running problem is getting worse and John thinks it may be fuel related somehow. She doesn't always start first time and when she does start, she rattles the tits off the engine and we've started to notice that it backfires through the airfilter. Not gonna bother trying to fix her now as she'll be getting her new engine soon hopefully.

Anyhow few sceney pics.

We did clean her once but where we were staying was country single track roads so was pointless.

Nice pictures

Do you not get any rubbing on the rear arches with it being so low?

Post Sat May 07, 2011 8:16 pm

Nope, I used to when I was running my old springs but John changed them for his, the only time it really scraped was when I had 4 people in it.

I'm a huge supporter of the Status Error (http://www.statuserror.co.uk) guys so as they've brought out some new designs, I thought I'd get a couple of purple ones.. to which, my dear friend gave me a new sparkly one. Friends were always moaning that the purple sparkly one on my rear window was too sparkly so I changed it for my orange sparkly one and they've not moaned since.

Here's what they look like (It looks pink but it's actually purple)

& my zone stickers

Also, she's hopefully getting a new heart soon

aye, it picks out the detail in the reflections quite well

Post Thu May 19, 2011 8:26 pm

Cheers, it's not the 4 though.. I think i'll wear a high top next time though :lol:

Post Thu May 19, 2011 8:47 pm

I wouldn't worry, I'm sure people have made bigger mistakes in reflections in photo's without realising it :lol:

Well my baby is no more. I had an accident and the firemen decided to turn my Touring into a Convertible

I'm now on the lookout for another car.. and I'm not allowed an E30 for a daily.

Post Wed Jun 08, 2011 12:22 am

WTF?! What happened?!

How are you not allowed another when it looked after you so well?!

Post Wed Jun 08, 2011 12:31 am

Why is the engine blanked out in the pics?

What happend? Hope you are ok

Y can't you get another e30?

Post Wed Jun 08, 2011 1:08 pm

My partner doesn't want to watch what he saw last again hence me not allowed another. I'm considering a 5series touring instead.

I hit a peugeot head on just after a corner, she appeared out of nowhere. I wasn't racing, going fast or anything either.

Post Wed Jun 08, 2011 1:28 pm

Fek!!
why did they cut the roof off?
(suppose it's 1 way of cleaning the headlining

seriously tho, at least you walked away from it, and your in 1 piece........?

Post Wed Jun 08, 2011 1:40 pm

Sorry to see and hear this, where do you stand with the engine then? I guess the Police were present?

Hope your ok

Post Wed Jun 08, 2011 3:15 pm

Wow, sorry to hear this was a nice car.

Post Wed Jun 08, 2011 3:21 pm

Gem - nooooooo. Please let us know you're OK. Poor you, poor car

Post Wed Jun 08, 2011 3:40 pm

Fook

Hope you and the other driver are ok?

Post Wed Jun 08, 2011 8:52 pm

As far as I'm aware, the other driver walked away unhurt.

I have back problems and at the time, my neck was hurting alot so the firemen chopped my roof off.

No-one looked at the car far as I'm aware, I was taken out and off to hospital.

At Nissan, I was guna go but they have you sitting about a mile away so decided not to bother

Try gets some pics

Post Sat Sep 24, 2011 8:30 am

Yeah at Nissan, we went to Teesside as well. Can't wait. Not liking the 6.30am start though :lol:

My camera zooms in quite well so knowing me, i'll come away with 600+ pics

Post Sat Sep 24, 2011 8:55 am

I might still go along yet, finish work at 11 so will miss out the practice rounds n get there for finals

What's the plans for the new one then?

Post Sat Sep 24, 2011 12:18 pm

am at a christening or a would of ventured over with me camera as well .........

Post Sat Sep 24, 2011 1:20 pm

Say hi if you do, would be nice to meet you

Finals start at 1.

Not sure yet, borbet's are definitely going back on, need to get my 2 9js dipped and sorted out so they can go on as well. Think it's just going to be a case of tidying up and it's a weekend car else it's pointless having my 530D.
