Best bring my E28 then not the M5 i hasten to add. E3 gets left at home again.

So far no problem pulling the convoy forward an hour Munky. As long as the guys at Rownhams don't mind an hour early, I'm more than happy.

Munky, postcode wise, can you put BH21 1RN into your machine and see what it says.
This should be the Willet Arms pub on Oakley Hill, Wimborne.

Should get you near enough. Let me know what the last few directions are, and I'll amend them as necessary.
My number 07974 914 962 if you get stuck.

I'll be there and on time unlike the last time! I've lost my mobile phone so does anyone have a postcode for me to get to the burgerbar big please. I've been there once but can't really remember it. I''ll be coming down off the A3 or M3 which ever is easier!

[munky30]

Drop me a pm tomorrow afternoon if its not with you i know theres a postal strike but we can all hope and if you want ill grab some to take to the meet as the autofactor place near me does it

Will keep you posted (excuse the pun )

Thats the one... your pm from earlier in the week got shoved off the page.

[Gortour]

simon13, postcode for the Churchillian Pub - directly opposite the meet point is PO6 3LS.

Look for the burger van on the left coming up from the A3. Pub will be on the right.
There is - from memory - another pub on the right at the bottom of a dip, layby at the top of the hill just past it.

[gaszman]

just a quick off the topic note just got a set of wheels for the car

is there anything i should note or do i just fit them and run

[Gortour]

Check the tyres for rotation. (an arrow on the side wall...) Also try and put the better pair on the front, hopefully less chance of the wheels being out of balance.
Check tyre pressures is a must.

Look nice wheels, well done.

[munky30]

those tyres look f*cking huge! Are they off a 4x4?

[Gortour]

205 55 15, same as mine, and most late E30s I think...

@ Jon_Bmw, Dodgem, are you OK getting to Rownhams for 12.15 rather than 1.15 to get to the meet early?
All other convoyers are - I think - happy to get there earlier, so if you can make it...

[dodgem]

Yup - that's fine by me. Since it looks like BoxClever won't make it now i can get there whatever time is needed.

I'll take your number Gortour incase of any problems

Shouldn't be too hard to spot the convoy then but i know what you mean about harrassing other E30 drivers - i'm sure some of the mums on the school run in a touring or the old boys in their 4 doors think i'm odd waving at them!

[gaszman]

yes same size as whats on the bbs at the mo and 20 quid for 4 and i dont no satin black or keep as they are

[munky30]

satin black centres, polished dish, gold plated studs.

Job jobbed.

(is that really how big e30 tyres are?! I'm used to my ickle honda fit ones so I guess most 'normal' wheels will look big )

[MonSportsStepSon]

Hi guy's.........just wanted to post a huge thank's to you all for what your doing here.

I know Malcolm loved being part of your group and as has been said, he loved all thing's BMW.

I hope to be able to come on Sunday. I dont drive a BMW but have a modded Mk V golf......forgivness requested !!

Thank-you all .... Jim

[HartgeH27]

Jim/James

Good to meet you at the funeral.

Hope to see you and Chris there,
Good man !

Iain

[Gortour]

Jim, you're more than welcome. Your step dad was a decent guy.

Would be nice to meet you if you can make it.

Cheers

[HartgeH27]

Again no customized dropped slammed non e30son the day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope both of you can make it ! Will be good, we have local press coming and photographers, a great show from the Zone but as long as it is understood that it is an E30 meet and not an other car meet.

OK Chris / Jim / James ?

[Gortour]

Jon_Bmw, if you want to leave your Audi at Rownhams, you're welcome to jump in the touring for the afternoon.

Anyone else not bringing an E30? Jam172?

[munky30]

surely it will be ok for a few people to turn up in other cars? they can park away from the e30's when it comes to the photoshoot... but... is it me or is it a bit harsh to say to someone that they cant come because they dont have an e30? Admittedly it would be a bit of a pain if 20 of the local krooozers turned up but I can hardly see that happening...

And... modified e30's are ok right?



sorry if I'm reading it all wrong... just seems a bit harsh.

[gaszman]

i agree they can all come but maybe they can park in the car park and then come and join in as for modded e 30s i love them even though mines standard at the mo

[Gortour]

Noone's saying they CAN'T come Munky, maybe leave non-E30s at the burger van rather than take them to the castle...? There'll be enough cars for people to get a lift...

[munky30]

yeah thats what I meant... sorry... ignore me.

[Gortour]

I'd guess modified E30s like yours would be OK Munky.
Malc would have had a good laugh at that I reckon - in an appreciative sort of way, of course...

[gaszman]

everything is relivant in its own way i guess its called creative licence to go where your imagination takes you

[munky30]

Thats the most diplomatic response to my car I have seen so far. 10/10 for noncommittal-ness.

[Gortour]

Not worried about diplomacy.
I'm happy to say I like your car. Looks great that low, and matt black too, and l love your stripes too.
Wouldn't even consider doing it to mine, but I only slag it off in jest mate, as you know well.

[munky30]

I know mate. Its all good.

[gaszman]

i think yous cars fab mate your split your sides when you see mine

[Ziggy]

Gordon - I'll meet ya at either Rownhams or at Canford bottom - I'll let you know nearer the time... I may not be in my E30 though - depends on whether a driveshaft drops through the letterbox or not
May hop in with Mark, or may be in the Caddy. Then you could see how slow a really slow car is, unlike your measly m40.

[Simon13]

Malc's E30 was modified so i'm sure modded E30s are allowed!

[Jon_Bmw]

12.15 is fine with me. To be fair I don't particularly want to leave my car at the burger van as I haven't a clue what the area is like etc etc. I know portchester castle quite well and I can dump my turd down the street that leads onto it. It was never my intention to have it in the photo!

Ziggy could do the same if he brings his caddy. Si bring the pina
