"leaning to the side but you can't speed thru', 2 miles per hour so everybody see's you"

[Demlotcrew]

[naylor04]

Seeya on Sat' !

[Ant]

Nice job dude, looks superb in all respects, I still want your seats

can you reduce the sig size a little though plz M8

[jibbers]

Looks sorted mate , what you said about bein embarassed at a meet ,did you mean that ? , Its just that im goin to Taunton this Sunday and i am a bit scared about the type of people that you just portrayed , my car is a work in progress at the mo , one day it will get done !
Dont get me wrong its not an absolute shed , but it has a few little iffy bits and the wheels are curbed up , its a 325 on an E , it only set me back Ԛ£460 , but i dont wanna get there and have people lookin down their noses at me , not what its about is it ?


Jibbers

[naylor04]

Sig pic reduced matey np,
What seats...........these seats, hmmmmm




lol, no chance, them mine .

[rich_e30]

I would give a testicle, one lung, an ear, an eye, four fingers and my entire head of hair for that car. Shes absolutley beautiful. Good work mate!

[naylor04]

Jibbers take no notice of me, these zone guys are just like you and me,
They are a great bunch of guys who really enjoy meeting like minded people, hence these meets.
You'll get some good ideas on modding and tech help, these guys are great, i was only embarrased about my arches as ive been promising to get them done for ages, ive spent loads getting the interior nice and then the outside of my car was pants, it still is to some degree, but my gosh my cars 16yrs old and driven everyday.
Just remember, its not a car show as such, ive been to lots of meets and some of the guys dont wash their cars, they just go to meet other E30 enthusiasts, like you and me.
I remember my first meet (when i was in the war, here we go), it was a midlands meet, i spent all Sunday morning washing,waxing ect....drove to the meet, pulled on the car park, lost my bottle and drove off home.
I was gutted, my confidence got the better of me.
BUT NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!.......you cant stop me going to em, nothing to be nervous about, you'll always meet someone there who's also at there first meet, wich will put you at ease.
Get yourself down/up east west to Taunton, youll love it.
Lecture over Jibbers !

[naylor04]

You got it Rich, when can you send ?
Will they be in bubble wrap, also could you pack them in ice
Thanx for the nice comments too, dont forget the ice Rich !

[rich_e30]

Its a deal!


Now where did i leave that rusty knife.....

[Jesus325iTouring]

Its a deal!


Now where did i leave that rusty knife.....

Someone need surgery??

Naylor,top job fella

Embarrased or nervous about first meets? You need not to be,doesn't matter even if you were to turn up in a car with more rust than good metal,its an E30,thats the important thing!

[Moofles]

more rust than good metal

its an E30

lmao rog you had to say it didn't you

[DAN]

Looks nice mate and love the leather.

Also love the Fresh prince line

[parksie]

Looks a top class job, i'm having mine done next week, and can only hope he does as good a job as your guys.
Did you get the new archs rolled ?

[player6]

looking good m8

[jibbers]

Cheers for the words guys , it makes sense now , its the car thats important , after all how many 17 year old cars out there are mint , obviously there are some , but they have had the work done already.
Or they are just mega low milage motors .
Thats it , im going on Sunday and hope to meet some of you there .
Ive also spent the day polishing the turd and it looks better already.

[technoviolet]

Your sport looks beautiful naylor,they did an excellent job by the looks of it,very cool

Good words..... great car... good on ya mate
I saht myself driving to lakeside last month, glad i didnt bottle it though had a whale of a time

[naylor04]

Hiya Dan,
"Summertime" pure summer anthem, lyrics sum it all up.

Parksie, cheers for the comments dude, thet didnt roll the arches, well i dont think they did, is this necessary ?

Player6, thanks for the nice words dude, the last time i saw you was at Stevenage meet and your car was getting a re-spray (i think)
Is it all sorted now ?

Jibbers, go foir it my man, youll have a great time and the weather for the south west is real good too, dont forget........take some pics and post em up for all to see.

Hiya Karan,
yeah jobs a good'en, i cant see any reason why they wouldnt sort you out, 2 great guys with a real passion for bmw's too, I got in touch with them thru' jit, he knows these guys real well, it might be worth you asking him next Sat at Ace',

Cheers Techno, Diamond Black rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!


Paulj, i was also at Lakeside last month, ur right though.1st meet is real scary, you coming to Ace next Sat ??????????

[player6]

back next week had some more done

[Simon13]

being partly pissed i shall ramble on. I was nervous at my first meet but it was a bmw coupe meet (snotty 6 & 8 series chaps, don't u know) And now i am what i would call a pest at E30 meets. Everyone is the same regardless of your chariot.

Its always good to meet new guys as the same old faces wear thin Dave,Demlot,Karan,Wil,Splondike, Pacerpete!!!!

Lee pucka job can't wait to see mate

[Davenotouring]

Simon you cheeky slut!

Anyway....

Naylor, looking good, my Sport needs a bit of the same soon!

Hope to see it at Ace (If my car is fixed)

[ian332isport]

Looks like an excellent job.

3 days eh...mine took over three months, and I still haven't got it all back together yet

I should break the back of it this week though

Ian.

[Davenotouring]

3 days is quite impressive!

Hope you get it back together soon Ian, I leave Brighton soon and I wanna come and have a look!

I'm still up for giving you a hand if need be?

[Simon13]

Ian i'm going to go to the brighton meet if u still need the rear bumper we could do the deed of offering her up on yours there? it's on wed the 18th may!

[ian332isport]

Dave,

How much longer are you around ?

I should get most of the kit back on this week as long as the weather holds out. I need to get a new battery as well. My current one was only about 6 months old, but it didn't like sitting unused for over three months. I've had it on charge for days now, and it won't hold more than 11 volts

Lastly, I need to get it MOT'd, as it expired while in the bodyshop. At least it won't fail on rust

Cheers,

Ian.

Simon,

I don't think I'll have it quite ready for the 18th, but it would be excellent if you could drop in on the way past. I'm only about 4 miles from the A23, so it's not far out of your way

I've actually priced up a new one from the dealer, and it's not 'quite' as expensive as I though. They will let me have it for just under Ԛ£300 which includes all the fittings etc. It's listed at over Ԛ£500 on my ETK

Cheers,

Ian.

[Simon13]

ok i'll PM u closer to the date and pop in on the way through

[ian332isport]

ok i'll PM u closer to the date and pop in on the way through

That would be excellent matey

It would be a real pisser to buy a new one and find that doesn't fit either

Cheers,

Ian.

naylor.. ya sik geeeeza!! it looks pukkalussh my man! 3 days only thats like.. instant minta!! lucky sod
