Was talking to someone the other day and they asked me how many E30s I had owned, To my shame I have only ever had one and I've had that for as close as damn it 6 years!

How many, Breakers excluded, have you owned?

Just this one, but I've only ever owned more than one of any car model anyway. I prefer variety so never go back to something

Two tourings,one more door and one cabbie,I broke the more door and I bought a touring to break....so does that count as three and a half? winkeye

I'm not allowed to have more than two E30's at a time,though... :cry:

Haha. It's safe as houses. U'd never get into the pound and if you were that hell bent on nicking it, the breaks and clutch are that seized you'd never get it out without a tractor. :roll:

One.

Had it seven years. If (when) it dies I doubt I'd buy another TBH.

Not because they're shite :wink: but just because I don't want any other car than the one I've got.
