        Must have been fairly worn.  Not sure what to tell you.  They were very far ahead of their time when they came out in 94.  Just in the last 3-4 years they started losing their edge in the stock classes in autocross.

                Because my only other option is my 66 Charger. Intended to buy a E34 for my DD, but, my wife wanted another convertible so I bought the E30. Sometimes I wonder whether I should sell it given that there are only about 4 months out of the year when I can drive it with the top down, and about half of that time it spends raining. Love the way it drives in the winter, though. The best RWD car I've driven in snow bar none!

                      Great find Dominic! Wish I had the money. Hate to use my E30 as a winter car.

                        Bought my first honda...

                        Was looking into some of the cheap BMW's around but didn't want something that could potentially turn into a project like the truck and car.

                                I finally got a daily I think I am gonna push through winter. Its the third Hypermiling car I have owned, and I think this one is a keeper. its an 03 civic hybrid. I wish I had something RWD but I commute 70+- miles to work during the week.

                                          Not a whole lot yet. I plan on deleting the wipers, possibly moving the mirrors inside the car, and adding a better belly pan. Its more focus and concentration. I find it a lot harder than racing, well maybe not, buts it takes a lot to really squeeze MPGs out of a car.
