That guy from the thread on Jordanian E30s who was about to go out in a mad turbo E30 on a track wearing only shorts and T shirt would win "Biggest Testicles"


Even so. i think Mr Brianmoooore deserves more than the odd "cheers for you help mate"

Thats because he doesn't exist, just like you and every one else. Your all figments of my imagination. :mad:

There was a time when I got scared that the whole zone was just Brianmoooore with different accounts, but then I was reassured by somebody. It was all rather amusing, but I can't seem to locate the thread. It was the same one in which I created 2 new accounts, both called Munky, to confuse Munky - which it did. We all argued about who was the real Munky :)

It's a little-known fact that He stores the entire set of BMW E30 blueprints in the boots of his 3 Tourings, obtained during a recent ram-raid on BMW HQ in Munich.

He then cleverly concocted a very convincing cock & bull story about being hit by a Porsche on the autobahn when suspicious police spotted the dent in his front wing and started asking probing questions about the contents of his caravan being towed hastily back to Blighty...

He is in on here. Just explained to me how to check a rear windscreen's filaments quickly with his customary brief brilliance. Steam it up with a kettle and connect a battery across it.

Some say he down loads bmw tech data with one blink from his reptile eye lids!
Some say he sleeps while reading the Bentley manual printed in Braille....
But we know him as Brian Moore 8) 8)

Brian always reminds of the section in Practical Classics "Ask Barry" or something like that,he was an unknown person who owned a countryside based garage somewhere,he was a font of knowledge on all things cars,but who he was remained a mystery winkeye

never helped me winkeye

when i first joined the old zone i had a problem with the electric windows, he correctly traced the fault to the door switch for the interior light :eek: ..... how anyone could know this was beyond me at the time... but now it is quite obvious the man quite simply knows all things E30 (except that cabs have different a pillar trim to tin tops... i taught him that :banana: )

Mr mooore if your are ever round my part of the World there is a cup of tea and a 2.8 conversion in pieces you are welcome to play with

Agree with all of the above, Mr Moore is indeed a legend. Everytime I search in the tech section for niggly little faults, the answer is nearly always written by Brian. I think we must have a photo of him to put us out of our misery !! Brian, can we please ? :D
