Got my car in Practical Performane car mag while we were drifting in watford just before christmas, i didnt even know until a few lads from the zone told me, made me laugh abit as in one of the captions next to my car they wrote
BMW`s aren`t fahionable but affordable and get the job done perfectly
if the e30 is that unfahionable then why put 3 pictures one on the front page and two half page pictures inside, dosent sound that unfahionable to me. Image

***Apologies to Dale for hi jacking post***

Cheers, designed everything on the car myself including the kit and cage then had it made. Was in the bodyshop for 18 months though, when it eventually came out I had to sell it as the wife hated the car after all the grief it caused us with only having the one car whilst mine was being done.

Image here is a picture of a 335 ferrari that turned up to do some drifting, all eye were on the ferrari as it turned up and then went and pushed himself to the front of the cue, on his 2nd bend he loses control and stacks into mud embankment, he drove straight of the course didnt even bother to get out to check the damage and just drove straight of the site in shame :D everyone was pissing them selfs, just as everyone watched him come in, so did they all watch as he left, it really was priceless :D he will see the damage he has done to the front end when he gets all the mud of :D

Nice one Dale....

I saw the car on the day, looked very nice!

I thought you were mad drifting in that car....It's minty.

But it paid off now I guess!!

Did they ask you if they could print the pics? Just out of interest!

Cheers,

Dave.

This is what I meant mate, I didn't think you'd mind, as it's pretty cool.

It's a bit cheeky not asking you though :wink: :)

Looks nice though mate, I'll try to find a copy later!

I brought that pretty much just for the pics of sideways Beemers.
That's a pretty weird looking 355, you'd think people who work for car mags would know the difference!
