I know where that pic was taken. IIRC it belonged to a member of Cruise South's website. Hence the Streetworx (now defunct) sticker on the screen.

Also IIRC he was filmed on Top Gear years ago when they went to Ace. Had him donutting round the roundabiut with his headrest TVs on. Cant for the life of me remember his name.

EDIT : Just remembered many years ago at Croydon Cruise (Makro jobby) him asking my mate (who used to own a 325 convertible) whether he could borrow his car to do some doughnuts in :mad:

if he's being unkind about an E30, why would we want to read it anyway?

Yep got to page 5 and gave up. Its a slammed cab with some wheels, smoked windows, single wiper & sunstrip, not my taste but not really something worth slagging off.

I think the owner overreacted but I wouldnt want to find out my car was posted on another site and had people ripping into it

The car wasn't too bad, and I suspect the thread would have died quite quickly if the owner hadn't turned up and spouted off. It was three years ago though... :roll:

This never happens. If someone did post a standard RS500 to take the piss out of, they would be rounded on severely.

Have we upset you too, HS? :wink:

To sum up (as requested), the E30 was posted, a few BB members went "meh, not very Barry..." then the 'owner' turned up and all hell broke loose. He was clearly upset at having his car posted (despite the fact that it garnered little negative comment really), threatened legal action, spouted some total bollocks and pretty much threw his toys out the pram spectacularly.

He claimed it was a standard Schnitzer too, which didn't help him much.

Friend of mine and im also on Cs :wink:
His name is kevin , He baited them with all the legal crap and it was a long drawn out arguement as on barryboys it always is as they want to argue with everyone , There host apparently is in the states so no use complaining about it :roll:
Tbh some of the cars deserve to be on there and the owners deserve the pi$$ take winkeye
Kevs was according to bmw uk 1 of 12 AC Schnitzer convertibles that they made in 92/3 that where right hand drive , Nice car as well but it is no longer on the road :?

dont post very often these days
but just to say i think everybody should be entitled to an opinion but
not a slag off.
but what do you call an opinion without slaging off.
i feel if you have an opinion it should be a comparisson to another
model or something.but everybody strives to be different
thats why theres so many car web sites and models
havnt got time for people who just want to slate mine.
its all about passion and mine is my e30 even if its not to the taste of another e30 owner.
its mine
i drive it
i spend money on it

Dunno who they are, but certainly not worth getting upset about.
They seem like idiots who just write 20 pages of absolute drivel and total b*llocks...
Er, bit like you, me and Max the other day then Munky, except we weren't slagging cars off.

no we were slagging max off. And apparently still are :mad:

I'm a member on barryboys, have been for ages. I dont post much as their skills of abuse are far beyond mine and I would make myself look stupid. But it cracks me up.

They're out to get a reaction (a 'sport' I also partake in) and thats all. Its fun to make people angry and thats what barryboys is all about. Its just a laugh, people take it far too seriously.

I'm gonna sue them under the privacy laws for their heinous infringement on these poor tasteless chavs GOD GIVEN RIGHT to cover their cars in stick on halfords tat.

No think about it... these new ghb things or whatever they're called get fooookin hot... I know, in typical male fashion I put my fingers on the wifes to see how hot they were... I'm now down two fingerprints :eek:

And you can squeeze then together like a pair of pliers... a pair of red hot pliers!

And... I'm 'BARD'?

Why thank you, I have always considered myself quite the amateur poet.

there once was a man from Nabunt,
Who's wife had a really big...
