_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) Oooh fun! Chronological order: 91 Nissan Sentra SG - First Car. FWD skids FTW. Rusted away 90 320i Jap Spec - y'all know what she looks like now so ill just do a "before" picture 83 Lada Touring - I miss her so much. Now has a bridgeport rotary in it 88 325i SA Spec - Jon (JK Southern) got this to turn into a race car.. not sure if that ever eventuated or not 89 316i UK Spec - Saved from the cuttiez and chromez it was on... kinda 92 Volvo 940 Turbo Estate - The new DD. Turbo + RWD + crap tyres + body roll makes for interesting driving when you want it, but it doesnt like being thrown around. probably good for a DD!

Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted May 12, 2010 Good thread, I don't see anyone bragging? No one has thrown in their families or fathers cars (yet) You all need to step back, especially Graeme and Simon, I don't understand the hate, it's childish. Graeme, you step up to the plate as soon as someone mentions anything contrary to this being a BMW orientated forum. Calling our BMW's shitty is a bit rich, haven't you spent $1500 on an auto electrician and driven less than 50km so far? Huffer and Animal Style, your comments are pretty pathetic, really.

3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted May 12, 2010 Mods, are you able to clean the non related crap out of this thread? Im actually finding it quite interesting what other members have owned in the past. Too many threads are going OT with other people opinions which quite frankly is happening all too often.
