Just to w
e myself out a little more and intro myself to the Kiwi contingent! I am from Auckland, currently in London. I normally frequent bimmersport.co.nz but I prefer my variety (not shown by my car ownership!)
Missing cars over here..I have to get my kicks from rental cars every now and then...love the crazy narrow English country roads in Kent in a wee Golf
I thought I should post some pics of my current e30 up (it is in NZ, being babysat). I was lucky enough to pick it up dirt cheap from a friend who was having great trouble selling it so I got quite a deal..had about NZD$30k spent on it at least if not more. I am really looking forward to developing it a little further when I am back in NZ...rebuilding the suspension with a few bits and pieces like I have done with my other e30s (I had 325i Sport I rebuilt most things on excluding the engine bottom end)
NZ New 1990 318iS Coupe in Brilliant Red
All iS options - black headliner, Recaro seats in tartan like pattern.
Illuminated gear knob, Illuminated (orange) VDO Boost/Oil Pres/Oil Temp gauges.
