GunMetalGrey Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 My pop's is on here once in awhile, he is old enough lol. Has a Porsche, so his new view on BMW's is to be debated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blebob Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Went the Porsche route myself for awhile but the e30 is like the old friend that never gets old! I always get the urge to sell my e30s and then I take one for a ride and always come back home smilin. We have alot of great car roads out here.

GunMetalGrey Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yeah, I got frustrated with the e30 at one point, got it back together and then drove it. All hate was gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerdown Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 GunMetalGrey am I old - or are you young? I'll always like the BMW's but I got the Porsche to be a bit "different". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blebob Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Old is to have driven the original Nurburgring or to have sat in the Pagoda at Road America! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampelsauce Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Not old, but I know all about the can am series/cars. I grew up at Road America as a kid. Had great times there. Blebob, come to the meet. It will be a good chance to see the faces behind the mindless banter on here, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blebob Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 We'll see how things work out, I travel way too much this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMiXman Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'm a newbie here but just old enough to remember Can Am and driving on the Nordschleife (sp?). I also recently went back to an E30 with a 1988 325iX that I'm semi-fixing for winter driving with a fresh and tweaked motor and a few tasteful treats.

jmo69 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I live 12 miles from Road America and the first time I went there was when they filmed the opening sequence for the movie "Winning" with Neuman and Redford. That was 1968 and I was a junior in high school, does that make me an old fart? IIRC that was the year they introduced the 2002ti and it impressed me even in the days of American muscle cars, when everybody else wanted an SS 396 Chevelle or a Hemi Charger.

Guest blebob Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Ah, yah that gets you into the old farts group! But it was Newnam and Wagner in Winning along with Newman's bride to be Joanne Woodward. I got to sit in Wagner's DD which was a Lotus Europa. (long story!) Sure do miss those CANAM days!

jmo69 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 You're right about Wagner, I was in the pits that day and without thinking about it I had on a bright red shirt, when I watched that segment there were a lot of red shirts that day.

krautuner Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Definitely working towards the old fart category , but don't drive, act or feel like it! http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq118/krautuner/parts%20parts%20parts/rw1.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blebob Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Glad to see I could finally get back on the forum! Old guys need to be regular! Finally got around to pulling the 87 325is apart and hopefully can get to the GTG coming up! Way too much going on this time of year, what with the kid running in SKUSA, 3 cars in restoration, travel with work, grandkids graduating in CO and other misc family issues going on.... I also finally let my BMWCCA membership drop, again..... I simply have no interest in whats going on with the new BMW's I really liked the Roundel but only got half of mine and only received 3 Immers. I guess I'm starting to ramble!! I guess thats what happens when I can't lerk my fav BMW forum, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Welcome back!I also have approximately 0 interest in the new BMWs.. To the point I don't even car what they do to bastardize the new m3 (ie turbo it) :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest quillbro Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 best car i ever drove was an 89 3.2 cerrara, gloss black with the whale tail spoiler.... I fell in love. Someday I will own one. I feel like an old fart after 7 years in the army 4 of them in iraq, does that count? Im only 27 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the point I don't even car what they do to bastardize the new m3 (ie turbo it) :/ hahaha im tottaly with you here... plastic fenders on the e90 made me want to puke. Not to mention the toyota ish styling... e90s look more like camerys than anything. The new F30 is no better. The day i cant drive an e30, or e46m3 anymore i'll jump out of a plane with no chute.

Guest blebob Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Too funny! But I'm with ya! I'm 56 and still find the e30 to be my fav car though I do miss my e21 323, but the e30 is much more of the daily friendly mode of transportation. Not saying I didn't like my e36 0r e46, but the e30 fits me better in most ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
