Some stunning cars here, but my vote must go to the pioneering M30 turbo on M5 ITBs of Toby Unna.

I think Toby has performed some fantastic, original, dirty finger nail D.I.Y., on a budget heroics with his car. I admit this car has influenced me a lot.

Looking at it that way I must say Karan's car is equally exciting to me.

Karan, I met you at the 'Pod meet and it didn't register who you were at the time, I wish I'd taken more time to chat and look at your car!

I'm not even going to bother posting pics of mine! :o: :(

Cols car above should win this imo.
There are very few V8 M60 powered e30's about and his has the suspension and brakes to make it a good all round package!
It may not have chrome and other 'bling' but is a very quick, great handling motor 8)
The soundtrack alone should make this a walk in the park :D

ps. Col get some decent pictures taken instead of those shonky ones above winkeye

I agree with SPADGE, oze30's wagon gets my vote, and the noise that exhaust makes sounds better on the car than when it's hitting you on the head hey Col! winkeye :mad:

Well here we are again zoners, its that time of the month. Our very own Mr Clarksun is getting big portions of the sun at the moment and sends his apologies, maybe a postcard is on the way.

So to this months entrants - a big woooheyy for someone awesome looking rides. There were many too choose from once again and the decision of which chariot rules the roost was not an easy one !!

But without further ado, the winner of this months Car of the Month is none other than Dips ! Take a bow Mr Dips................

Next months competition, starting today will be for the much forgotten sturdy beast of the 320 saloon or coupe..........bog standard to wild and wonderful, get them coming in !!!!

I would have never believed a brown car, never mind a touring, could look soooo bloody good! Well done Dips. Is that a metallic colour?

I agree, this month's header on the home page is superb.
