First quick car I ever drove was my then neighbours Boston Green E36 Evo 4dr. They also had at the same time a bright red E30 318i convertible and neighbour the other side had a Calypso Red E36 318i with ‘Alpina’ alloys and a fruity exhaust.
Ahh, memories.
I was given a E36 EVO 4 door to go to that dodgy toll road in Germany in as my car was broken.... Lovely car... Ahh, memories.
No ac though... Broken.

Those blower type Bentleys just look wrong to me when they are so clean and shiny
Good shout, if ever a car needs a constant patina of hard use this is it. Used to see mad Auld Nicky Fairbairn hammering across Perthshire in an old upright Bentley of sone sort dressed in tweeds and a deer stalker. Proper eccentricBack to my 968 obsession of late;

Vauxhall 30/98 is a fantastic thing, true 100mph car (first road car to reach it in fact) and also great at long distance lolloping too.
Brakes are pretty poor though and only use foot brake in an emergency!!
A vintage car at 70, let alone 100, would be quite a shock to the system!Brakes are pretty poor though and only use foot brake in an emergency!!
What is usual braking method if a foot brake is for emergencies?

I spotted that E30 and it is a lovely thing isn’t it but I couldn’t look past a very good E36 M3 at that money….or less even

I know it wasn't the best M3 they ever did, but I'd have to say the E36 is definitely my favourite, and if I was to get a "modern classic" to replace my 125i it would be top of the list.
Some cracking examples there Loon - I'd probably plump for the Evo Coupe in Estoril given the choice - with the Dakar saloon close second.
If only BMW didn't insist on putting their dodgy take on wood in the saloon......

It was flipping cold too.
Much respect.

I just love the dash/sports seats on this little car - later 3ers became increasingly more flimsy inside imho
