I'll be moving to Guernsey very soon and just wanted to know if anyone on here runs an e30 as a daily/summer car?

Is it worth me bringing my 325 cab with me (due to the speed limit) or shall I leave it mainland UK? I only use it in the summer anyway.

Any advise from the Channel Island experts will be appreciated.

I'm from Jersey.

I would take it, seems to be a good car culture over there from what I have seen

Yeah Guernsey is silly cheap!

I used to go over a few times a year on the motorbike as they have some fantastic driving roads. How long you going over for?

Are Jersey prices different? Will be moving over with my girlfriend and teaching out there so for a while.
Not been to Jersey yet - that's on the cards soon though.

Not sure about now but based on old prices there was a difference. Remember one place being 60p a litre when jersey had just hit the £1 mark (this is going back 4 years now). It's something like £1.15 a litre over here right now iirc.

Take it over, you won't regret it! Some lovely costal routes to do with the roof down.

I prefer Guernsey but that's only seeing it from a tourist point of view, Jersey is nice though. Hit me up if you fancy a pint!
