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

Mostly 20-35ish for the mass and a few under 20's and a few senior citizens :D

I'm guessing the age range will vary depending on the model and engine size

Looks like E30 is still seen as a 'cheap' first or second car by the youngsters and as an emerging classic by the 'mortgage paid and kids of me hands' age group.

I'm the exception that proves the rule,mine are daily drivers! :D
