I know it's pain to post photos at the moment but would you like to see the competition make a come back?
The winner would received a E30 Zone COTM Winner Mug
Thoughts?

definitely, I'm sure most of us spend longer than we care to admit looking at other peoples e30s on instagram etc... So I think people would get involved here.
Be great to have Zone members showing off their cars for that monthly mug prize!

Yes would be good to have it back, perhaps with specific themes/categories eg tourings, sports etc as I seem to remember any photo of a m3 was pretty much guaranteed to win

Could it have a broader spectrum? Literally, CAR of the month? Plenty of members on here with other chariots, and plenty with no E30 at all, me included.
X5 V8 for thrills, CRV for chills, Range Rover P38 V8 for sooooo much aggravation...

Still have the E30 I had the Lotus for 3 years, just recently sold it as it wasn't getting used and bought a Subaru Legacy Twinscroll, I just miss the Lotus as its such a fun car to drive (not at 20mph in London and over speed bumps and through pot holes.
My thoughts where to sell the E30 buy another Lotus (maybe an Exige) sell the girlfriends Clio and share the Subaru to cut down on cars and costs.
Heres the Twinscroll,
