Mmm Hockenheims, I get a bit of a dirty boner over them. Friend has a set on his e30 m3 and they look the tits.

I bought them off here actually, a few weeks back. They were in a state so I ploughed a small fortune into getting them mint, blasted, powdered, painted space grey. They were on the e30 for 6 days when I hit a piece of 4x2 in the road and the front NS buckled so bad it was smashing the strut every time it went round :(

I'm one of those painfully untidy hoarders, taking too much on at once and generally making my own life difficult!

Ok. I have to fess up.

6 E30s and two daily drivers (one each for wife and I). Soon to become 5 E30s and if we get no sunshine again this year, possible down to 4.

Reckon I've got about 60 + wheels and lots of other bits and bobs.

Currently have a 20ft square garage at home with a large roof space and an off site unit that'll hold 4 cars.

Wife says if she hears of me buying one more car she's off. I'll just make sure she never hears about it.....

This thread makes me do a little sad.

A couple of years ago I had 3 e30s, an e28, a 924 and a van.

Now I have no garage and only 1 car, a diesel Audi A4.

Although I have just bought an Aprilia shaped jigsaw to keep me occupied over the summer.
