Here's the place to chat about all things classic. Also includes a feedback forum where you can communicate directly with the editorial team - don't hold back, they'd love to know what they're doing right (or wrong of course!)

(That's called the e30, the pants 90s more curvy one is the e36)

I have indeed but there are still reasonable priced e30s out there. one of the guys at work has a 320 which he paid £1200 for earlier this year. Mind you, it is orange ;) There is also an e30 316 in the carpark opposite most days.
I love seeing them on the road. It's another one of those cars that was everywhere, then became a banger, then all but vanished.

There was a frogeye on the A38 this morning, they are so small! No pics as I was driving but I am on the lookout as I have seen it once before very close so it may be a local car :)

Good chance that it was last used well before that, it is in very poor condition. Bodywork is extremely corroded and the tyres have disintegrated. I know the salty sea air won't have helped but this classic will need rescuing very soon before it disappears altogether!

Those guys look a bit lost - they should have turned right at the last set of lights for Camp Bastion :lol:

Time for a quick exit
