I need to get some better pictures up of the E30. They were taken at the weekend but the bloody weather was shocking (again!) and the car was a little dirty too :D
dirty cars look both much cooler and moodier and also much faster when standing still.its a scientifically proven fact. 8)

Great memories with it, and it was very hard to sell her but it was the right thing to do.

We lapped numerous roundabouts sideways together, raced many motorbikes over the North Yorks Moors and I did my first track days in her. I even drove my wife up to Scotland in GUG to ask her to marry me!

The cash I got for her allowed me to start racing though. Onwards and upwards and all that!

Hopefully I'll become as attached to my tourer one day! :D

I miss my baby too :cry: loads of memories in the GUG too the best were racing porsches on the m4 and many many tyres/props killed in the process. Its the car that gave me the balls to actually push hard!!!!! thats why it will always hold a special place for me
