Did I not see this the other day in the carpark with a more 'mesh' wheel?

Whereabouts? No wheel change for me, perhaps a twin

Similar plate too? In the carpark where I used to see your wagon often

Not sure - wife has been driving it a bit with F31 being repaired but wheels are still the same

Been a while since I had a proper fang in the E30 so great to get out today with a buddy and was great fun to switch cars for a while - with a polar opposite build - Supercharged M42 with 4.4 LSD / lightweight flywheel and Z3 rack - certainly made mine feel a bit lazy and luxury orientated haha.

Must say mine looked pretty good in the rear view mirror 🤌🏽

One last thrash before going on holiday for 3 weeks - an extremely rainy morning out to Piha. Not my picture, makes me miss my old proper camera.

Got a proper Italian tune up today alongside some superior machinery - after so many km, still enjoys a bit of rough housing!

All cleaned up again and ready for an E30 Coffee meet tomorrow morning @BMTHUG @Tobias01

Been a while since I updated here - car has been great, getting used less these days, becoming a little bit more of a garage queen but still getting enough work.

Was out today with a group of interesting cars - (Elise 111r / E30 M3 S54 / E92 M3 / B7 RS4 / E30 M42 Supercharged / 306 XSi) for a really good blast for 3-4 hours - car was a champ, the M20 still just loves to rev but she does get a little wallowey when pushing on - H&R sports are too cushy but perfect 95% of the time.

The Elise had 330whp - sufficient for 850 odd kg.

Making the most of this incredible run of Auckland weather - got up early (for me) Saturday to do the classic but great run from the City to the  Pohutakawa Coast > Kawakwa Bay / Kaiaua - a good 4+ hour in the saddle allowing time for exploring / photoshoots / more photoshoots 🤣

Zero car issues, aside from a few old rattles on coarse chip open road speeds - nothing opening the windows won't fix.

Another perfect Saturday, another early morning drive.

This time went over the Awhitu Peninsula - through Waiuku to Karioitahi beach, then up and accross to Grahams Beach / Big Bay and Glenbrook.

Stunning area, especially with the morning low fog today. Roads not as good as last weekend (from City to Waiuku is pretty boring) but once there its beautiful.

To do list:

Need to replace my drivers window seal - 51321904782 (bloody expensive) and sort my drivers seatbelt reciever before the next WOF.

Also have a rattle from the exhaust that I'm hoping is just a hanger / mounting issue.
