Damn Ed that is proper old skool retro cool, I'm lovin' the 323.
I'm starting to regret buying a late model now. Must not buy another car though, one day I'll post a picture of my 1500sq ft garage!

by the way old skool, ust means the same as retro, so techniacally any E30 that is period correct (ie no HID, lexus, angel eye, e36 bumpers ect) thats stays true to is 80's early 90's roots is old skool.
But chrome bumper models are older and hence more retro or old skool.
For example a raleigh cohpper is old skool
A halfrauds cruiser made in 2006 is not!

Shouldn't the date read 09/12/1974??
Proper retro look,
apart from the car at the very back, 3rd back looks like a meastro, the last car could be a E46 or a new Vectra, I'm leaning towards a BM the back isn't as flat or as tall as a vectra, its the only thing that looks out of place for a 1970's image (apart from the date!)
EDIT - crap did I say maestro is that another touring? I've studied that photo and can't work out what car no.2 is!

Ok I am happy to accept the car your in is an e30, the first car is a touring e30, I'm happy to believe the second car is an e30 and the third a touring too, but I don't believe the final and last car in the picture (good perspective image by the way) is an e30, the shape of the lights are all wrong!
But maybe, now I'm not so sure. Is it a tech2? which would account for the high level or the rear?
