Time to say goodbye to the scoob
 

As you most of you know i've had the RA up for sale for a while and well, i've sold it at long last. It's gone to a lad from southend so will obviously point him in the direction of the club.

I'll be checking in from time to time as Dad still has his wagon and i've got the monthly golfing bug. Still resisting the big kites for now :p . But seeing as i won't have to spend fortunes keeping a scoob on the road it may allow me a few spare £ to spend on other interests as well as the new ride :norty: .

Speaking of the new ride i've partly taken a leaf out of of Supercue's, Mark B4's and Cornelius' books. It's rwd and becoming quite retro in a standard form. Plus some nice German build quality.

Oh that's great news Matt.

Keep in touch, you have my number mate.

:thumb: will do. may need a nice photo shoot with the new motor if the suns out. mmmm roof down.

What is the new ride

A Bm convertible ?? E30 ???

yup. 325i with fast road cam, induction kit (soon to be changed a bit. Thinking of taking out one of the head lights to set up as a cold air feed if i can), stainless system and a set of alpinas. Full silver leather. Needs a bit of matty 2 clear buckets treatment but should be able to bring it up ok. Got a few idea for it. mainly ones that won't cost an arm and a leg. just something to put my stamp on it.

oh no another dodgey BMW driver on the roads ;)

sorry to see the scoob matey, but needs must and all that.

hopefully still see you at meets.

Gaz shocks do some nice shocks for the four corners ,they work well on the E30 race cars

:p been a bmw driver before. i'm afraid i break the mold as i give way and don't drive round with my fog lights on :lol1:

yeah will still pop along to the lodge and will be on here, just not as much.


another quick pic. it's also been fully resprayed in an m3 evo colour. not sure what it's called now but i quite like it.

was going to give you a shout about that ;)

Good news that it is finally sold mate.

E30 is by far my favourite BM... Especially lowered with some Azev A wheels :norty:.

You still going to be on the old email to provide advice and detailing services?

The Alpina wheels look good too!!

Nice one! :D

Good luck with the Beemer Matt, just make sure you get them indicators on it wired back up :lol1:

Old skool.....I like it! :king:

ross - already been thinking about a set of azevs for when i need some new tyres. i could keep the alpinas as a winter set.

dave - checked them and they work. last owner must have sorted it ready for selling it :lol1:

Fozzy - yup fancied a bit of old skool cool. can't afford the time on money on a mk1 or 2 escort so went for what i thought was the next best thing. In theory should have about 180 - 190 bhp before i get the chip put in :D

Well done Matt.
You're right RWD still provides plenty of fun especially in the wet :norty:
E30 series do still look cool enjoy :top:

Nice one Matt


Dont be a stranger :thumb:

That looks really good Matt, well done mate :thumb:

i like that :thumb: bet yr gutted u didnt get it in the summer but roll on next summer if we get one :lol1:

Had a mint left hooker when i was working in germany. blinding ride.:thumb:

wheres me fpr..:D

:cool: I like it mate :thumb:

I had a white E30 Touring 320 M-tec'd up....

It was auto but still scared me on roundabouts!!!!!!

One of the best cars I ever had.

in me shed. i'll try and get round one night mate. pm me your addy again as can't find it at the mo.

quick pic i took yesterday on my phone. yes i was being a tart and driving round with the roof down in the cold. but i had a hat on lol.

no! not down the seafront tho chav :lol1: although they look so cool with the roof down :thumb:

lol. was a beanie hat rather than a burberry cap lol. never really been one for going down the front. well only 1 saturday a month every now and then wander what that was for :wonder :lol1: yup look so much better with the roof down. was looking on ebay to get a hard top for it for winter. go for about £800 though so won't be bothering with that!

i so love these beamers you got me thinking now :norty:

That does look a cracking car mate.

You're not wrong about Mk2 escorts, £1200 is about average for a bog standard 1.3 4 door, £6000 for an RS2000 and around £2500+ for a 2 door!
