Just thought say hello as im new on here. I bought an very nice 88F M3 in Macao Blue with full grey leather yesterday. Its the one thats been on ebay for a few weeks. The guy has been dropping the price steadily so when it came down to my level i jumped in my car and high tailed it up to Bucks to buy it! It was a 4 1/2 hour drive from Plymouth but well worth it! The car never missed a beat on the journey home..very impressed.

I live in Plymouth and wondered if there are any cruises or meets going on?

Bye for now.

Welcome to the zone mate :)

Im only down the road from you in Newton Abbot,fancy swapping for an M50 winkeye

Plenty of meets around the SouthWest,had one on Dartmoor last week for example.
About 26 cars in total,most of them were E30`s!
Cheddar Gorge is always a good one,check the meets section and stick you name on the list.

Anyway mate,enjoy the zone and ill probably see you around :)

M3Macao you will need to upload the pic to a site like photobucket and then copy the image across

I use photobucket and if you upload pics to there at 640 x 480 (236 kb) they dont get compressed when you post them here

You need to add the link between [img]&[/img]

Always nice to say hello to new members :cheers:

Thanks for all your info. Ill have a play with photobucket tomorrow and see how i get on.

Ive been trying to figure out what exactly my car is. It is the exact same spec as a Europa Meister but misses the build date by 1 month and doesnt have the plaque. Bit of a funny one!

I got it from a guy in Wendover Bucks. He didnt have it long and wanted to go back to a TVR..I know??

Cheers Max. The thing is though it doesnt have the plaque and the dates dont seem to match. However the spec of the car is exactly that for the E/M.

Yours looks very nice as well.
