if u burn it and claim... a) you will struggle to get what its worth off the insurance company.... b) unless you are over 25 then the insurance company will just slap what they paid out onto your next premium!

Navi, whats up with the car? Tell us and post some pictures mate - maybe someone here would take it off you and in turn help with the frustrations you have for the car. Ive been in your shoes, where all I wanted was to see my car gone, but I stuck with it thanks to my mates and zoners. That was the right choice for me, but maybe your situation is different (I dont know). Maybe we can re-kindle your love for the car, or maybe we can help you go the other way and successfully sell the car and solve your frustrations that way.

Post up and let us know.

All the best,

Scott

Navi and I are currently exchanging PMs to try and establish the cars problem.
Hopefully we can sort it out for him and have him back on the road in no time.

my relationship with my touring is very much Love/Hate.

I love e30's, love the way it looks, then is pi**es me off by being awkward when even the simplest think needs changing it seems half the engine needs dismantling to reach some parts. then i love it for starting first time after it had stood for 3 weeks while i was away etc etc...


stick with it! (only reason I got rid of one of my e30's was i had nowhere to store it, i have 3 now, one on its last legs but i cant bear to get rid of her!)
