It's nice out... that must mean it's time to insure the E30, give it a quick wash/wax, & go for a wee drive! :D

Here's hoping we get a better summer than last year...

No probs so far... don't want to speak too soon though! :roll:

I'd almost forgotten how much fun an E30 can be. Guess you know that feeling :wink:

:)
The wind deflectors are made by Kamei. Same idea as the OEM BMW part (wouldn't have thought they're quite as effective but they do work), they just don't need removing if you need to get in the back...

The drive over to the mother's house today was fun! :D

Dave, I used that 476S yesterday - seems to have done a nice job & it'll hopefully last too... Thanks again :thumb:

Just got a nice easy new MOT - they only felt the need to advise me that the inside edge of the rear tyres was wearing more quickly than the outside edge. Shocker! :)

Poly engine mounts have arrived & will go on at the earliest opportunity, along with the rebuilt LSD when it gets here...

Apart from that the only change I've got planned is perhaps some new wheels if I can ever decide what I might like more than these.

Ziggy, where did you get those Kamei wind deflectors please? I'd like some as I sometimes have rear seat passengers.

Thanks
