Do you think we could get the zone on Top Gear?

[E30Adam]

The thought came to me when I noticed the insane number of engine conversions people are doing to this classic iconic car.

Not only are they doing engine conversions but they're all done with the help of the rest of the zone community. People who have never tackled anything mechanical before ate building engines and they work!!

Do you reckon we could get a slot of some sort on top gear?

[TOURINGDADDY]

Would b fun tryin i spose

[SwirlyE30]

Not sure adam, but it would be very good if we could!!

Cars such as ians M3 powered sport, some of the mint M3's on here etc. Be quite cool,they often talk about older motors and classics, so....


Not sure how youd go about it though

[SCOTT325SE]

mmmmm.... id be up for a zone meet to get EVERYONE on here on TV.

[tylerma]

how strange

I was having this same thought the other day while watching the programme

would be very cool if it could be done

who would be mad enough to let the Stig go out in their car

[buster]

sounds good.I wouldn't have even bought my evo engine if it weren't for the help of Ian and the rest of the e30 zone.

[TOURINGDADDY]

Id let the stig ave ago in my tourin.... u never get to here ur own motor howlin. but it may start u

[m1key]

why dont we just have a UK meet and invite everyone... ??

like the london - brighton mini run....

find somewhere in the middle of the country and have a big meet.

BBQ and sunshine and your pride & joy. ???

[TOURINGDADDY]

[m1key]

bbq is a piece of piss.

[tylerma]

[Richy325iTouring]

[m1key]

would be good if it was a drift track..... mmmmm

[Dominitry]

If theres cars there, so's the cam!

[Ziggy]

Would be great! But I can't see it happening... there's an awful lot of car clubs out there; why would they be particularly interested in old bmws?

[TOURINGDADDY]

Coz were fittin mad engines in motors that they wouldnt pay Ԛ£500 for thats y

Sounds not a bad idea but we need to pick a different place as a couple members live in Brighton already ie: Swirlye30(Hello mate). The Top Gear event sounds absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!!!
We could all keep phoning them to get us on, imagine
But i have to say it, has anyone ever heard Clarksons views on BM's? NOT GOOD!

[Widge]

As far as I can see Clarkson would love 325's, it's got a decent sized engine, it drives the right wheels, and they're CHEAP! He's always going on about how you can have fun on a budget, I've thought of this before but more on the lines of their Cheap Porche bit they did. Do you think the 325 would hold the record for the fastest and cheapest car around the top gear track? Which can be used everyday (ie isn't a totally rusted out porche) and is reliable. And then you bring on the nutters with the big engines.

We should all send an email to top.gear@bbc.co.uk and give them the idea, if they think there are enogh of us then the'll think there are enough people who would want to watch it.

[jonbuoy]

What about North Weald?

I know its a bit late to say about it but those who can make it, all well & good. Sunday 12th June, Ԛ£15 to drag as many times as u want.

[m1key]

or crail in fife, scotland.

is always a good day out.

[panesar_e30]

top gear meet should be good, so whos going to make a start on organising it?

[Jesus325iTouring]

Tis a good idea Adam,I thought of this on Sunday after JC was saying you needed a Range Rover to tackle Salisbury Plains,I know this clearly isn't the case,I can get an E30 in places you'd think impossible!
I looked all over their website but couldn't really find any kind of direct link to send ideas for the show,it seems they have already got ideas and want people to add to this,
I was going to submit some pics of the Filthy30 meet I organised but couldn't find anywhere to do it.
Maybe someone else can...........

[Andy335Touring]

I think the only way a non-M E30 would get on Top Gear was if it was being destroyed in some spectacular fashion by Clarkson

[Kam320i_cab]

im up for this!! yummm track.......

[TOURINGDADDY]

It would also need to involve a caravan

[Jesus325iTouring]

Someone mention caravans............?

[SCOTT325SE]

Someone mention caravans............?

dude, your a legend! true zone spirit that is, voulunteering for clarkson to destroy your caravan! top man!

[Jesus325iTouring]

Perhaps I should re-word that,got to take me 'van to Henley on Thames tomorrow,would rather like it one piece

[m1key]

what about this.....


http://www.crailraceway.co.uk/

just a thought

[Andy325i]

how strange

ME ME ME!!!!!

[georgen]

A massive meet, that would be wicked. How many potential E30's would that bring together !!!!

Just don't do it last week of September coz I'm getting married then

[Ritchie]

I have been to Crail a few times, not recently though. Would definitley go if the zone was goin I prefer Edzell meets as they are nearer to me, there is usually plenty to see, a heap of E30s there would b cool. Events there are postponed at the mo tho.
