Worse happens in scrap yards, and that car would of been scrap worthy.

Wicked, I love those old buggers. The pre V4 stuff like the 92 etc is mint. Saab would have been better off making a small hybrid in the image of the 92/93.

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

/\ thats a bad card. If it was an auto you'd have the least desirable e30 ever! If they did a 4dr baur like the e36 then it would be game over!

You say that but its a lovely car in all honesty, yes its a little slow but I love it.

it needs a few hundred quid spending on it to bring it up to scratch and it cost a fortune in fuel.

Salvation lies within a Mk3 golf CL which fetches me 45mpg plus :(

It didn;t look in the epitemy of good health to start with now did it, although I don't think it was very fair that the door was only latched on the E30.

I love to watch top gear either way. :D

Couldn't agree more, 1 reasonable bloke dominated by 2 stuck up idiots who think entertainment is dropping a caravan from a crane to see if it breaks. If I had my way they would have to live in that caravan with a couple of "black Mamba's" for company. As for the midget, its obvious who bends over for his public school chum by the way he grovels to the lanky big headed pratt.

You think the top of the door frame, which can be bent by hand would have made the slightest difference to the result?
