Do you intend to buy another some day, it must have/feel horrible? i watched my beloved norco downhill bike get smaller and smaller in my old mans mondeo mirror but it did bring an e30 my way, even so its very hard to do.

Never sold an E30, well only to the rag and bone yard.

Nothing more enjoyable than collecting top money for your scrap and serving on the morsels to victims.

:D
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Cant see my self owning another for quite a while Unless I get the dosh for a nice m3 ...I was gutted to see her go as I spent a year rebuilding her but I have to say deep down I realy wanted the M3 as im in love the old classic DTM cars and that why Im about to start a new project :D I purchased the evo II kit a while ago and have been itching to get it started and now I have the room and free'd up some more dosh I can crack on with building this ...
