E30 325i Rag-Top

Nah, keep the 205, just lose the 306 quarter light and fuel cap.

I think it's called Dreamer's Maths, goes something like: Value of car + cost of rims and tyres + cost of stereo + what ever else I've spent x 2 + dream factor So for the 318 auto it works out at: $500 + $1200 + $800 + $400 x 2 + $1200 = $4.5k for the car!! Notice their dream factor is the biggest part of their price, says a lot.

What no Fush & Chups option???? Hmmm, wonder whats for tea tonight???

Hard to look past the Triple 8 entry to win - reliable and quick. Murph and Skaife will be quick and competitive for a while but I don't think they have the right temperament to finish the race - there will be a red mist somewhere along the track!!

ROFL!Yeah, he's OK, but not as good as that Sneijders guy tha't's on YouTube When Group B was banned, lots of the cars then moved into the European Rallycross events, half tarmac circuit and half dirt / gravel track. I was lucky in that two circuits, Brands Hatch and Lydden Hill were close to me, so I could go to lots of these events. Seeing RS200s 205T16s Audi S4s, R5 Maxi Turbo, Deltas, 6R4s, etc up close going full noise was ORSOME Searching YouTube now for some coverage....

Another good clip - "The End Of Group B" Those were the great days of rallying, but looking back now it did get a little out of control and when people start to get killed, drivers and spectators, something had to be done. Even today those cars are just awesome and I have still not seen anything that compares in the flesh.

A shame to see nice cars getting crashed, but that's the risk with rallying - no run off areas or tyre barriers, get it wrong and it's going to hurt! Loved the M3 rolling into the field and owning the Renault 5 Maxi, and the red M3 doing "an Olsen #14" !

Bugger Bruce, you beat me to it!! I was well on the way to saving up for it as well, only another $17,899.50 and I was there, damn. Glad to hear it has found a good home up North. Already looking forward to seeing it finished...project thread??

Fixed.That last clip with the E30 M3, now that is how to drive a rally car, he is giving that every last bit, impressive!

I like the video link, the theory of the Beer Goggles. Personally I believe in the theory of the "Magic Bus". When you are out on the piss, there will be a point during the evening when you go to the toilets, and whilst you are in there the Magic Bus arrives, takes away all the old mingers in the establishment and replaces them with hot, young fillies. For me this usually happens around 10 o'clock in the evening!

A great big fry-up, hard to get down, but feels a lot better when finished. Coupled with great big glasses of orange juice and a mug of strong sweet tea. Also best not to sit around feeling sorry for yourself, do something active, get the heart pumping and sweat out the poisons. One time only hangover cures - Swedish "Bath" - jumping into the Baltic Sea when you wake up, if there are no showers, even in the middle of summer it is still only about 5 degrees C, the hypothermia soon takes over from the hangover. Makes the locals laugh though!

That is true, but I wouldn't put Cameron in anywhere near the same class as Lennox, and I don't think he has got anywhere near the same reach, which helps with that tactic. Fingers crossed for a good, close fight, would make a nice change....

Cheers Dan, I have got the Experience clip as well from Speedhunters. I preferred the youtube clip as it was longer, and was more in-car than all the artsy stuff from the promo. But, man, that thing sounds mean, how I would love to have a race car that made a sound even half a brutal as that noise ....maybe one day!

Missed this yesterday, so a belated HB today! Grow old, but never grow up!

Rangies are the ultimate in shooting wagons, so this H&H is a great idea, I'd love one. Get to some seriously out of the way place, decimate the wildlife, good drink and lunch, all back in the Rangie and home for tea - spiffing. I think they have done their research as the old boys I used to go beating for liked a good drink with their lunch, always made the afternoon shoot interesting for us, "WAIT UNTIL THE BIRDS GET UP" !!

Some great shots, good in-car and glorious, glorious noise!!

Looking like it is going to be a great facility - soooo looking forward to our first race meet there, fingers crossed it will be all go at the end of November. I see Mr Ollie was there checking out the track I expect he was making engine and braking noises on the way round as he was working out his lines !

Hey Kerry, pics of the E30 chrome bumpers would be good. Cheers, JTP

My 2c.... In terms of the finish you can get there would be little difference if you take your time with the can. The main reason I would recommend taking to to a pro would be to get it painted in 2K paint with a 2K clear coat over the top, which would give a much tougher paint. In an area like the front lip which is prone to stone chips the tougher paint will last a lot better than paint from a can.

Description: was being driven by an employee at a nearby BMW dealership where the owner of this car had it in for service. Driver barely slowed down for stop sign, took a left turn a little fast, rear end swung out, driver lost control. Car spun around, hit curb in median, and struck tree on right edge of photo. Yellowish material stuck in hinge of passenger door is tree. There were no tire marks between the tree and where the car came to rest, indicating significant bounce off of tree. Service tickets on ground next to tree were placed there by very upset but uninjured driver. Location: Dallas, TX "Hi I've come to pick up my car that was in being serviced...... WTF???"

Looks amazing in the photos, can't wait to see it in the flesh at a race meet. I hope Mr. K-B Snr. won't mind me dribbling on the paint work !

ROFL at Ollie the Love Doctor!! Good Luck Brook, hope all goes well, sounds & looks like she's worth the efforts.

Sun shining, family in the E30, roof down, heading to the beach

Straight line drivers - hoon along at 120ks+ on a straight bit of road, first sign of a bend.... ....slam on the brakes and crawl round the curve, usually braking mid-corner as well Don't these people realise the curvy bits are where the fun is in driving ??

At one point yesterday there were FIVE E30 M3s listed on TradeMe, that must be some sort of record? With the three minters at $35k+ though I think the term 'pick and choose' only applies to a very few people!
