Im Ben, i've been hovering around the forum for a few years but rarely post anything,anyway i thought i would share my cars with you on this wet Saturday afternoon!

I'll start with my daily driver 1988 BMW E30 318i, bought around a year and a half ago with 116k on the clock its generally pretty good condition for a car of its age! I cant say its a fun drive but i do love how smooth and comfortable it is as well as its retro looks.

My other car is my Peugeot 106 Rallye, i have owned this for nearly 5 years and i cannot let it go! Bought standard with 67k on the clock and now touching 112k, it was my first car and used a lot for the first few years but these days it gets used on as many Autosolos and other events as poss. Its not quite so standard anymore although the engine remains untouched.
For anyone interested Farnborough District Motor Club regularly hold events and is a good low budget way of competing in your road car. I Recently pushed the car to gain the fastest time of the day award smile

fantastic cars, have got a 205gti and was looking for a E30 to use daily for a while (before buying a super cheap mx5 instead!). Would of loved a 106 rallye as a 1st car!

Lovely Rallye! What other mods you does it have? And why the raised bonnet if you don't mind me asking?

Always had a soft spot for rallyes especially in that colour - great to see youve left the original wheels on. It's always nice to see an E30, even a moredoor. What colour is that, it's not clear on my phone? Anything you need for the E30 just let me know.

Cheers everyone,

The bonnet, ahh i think i forgot to close it properly....

The mods on the rallye are:
Pugsport exhaust system
421 manifold
powerflex bushes
206 gti front brakes
bilstein suspension with 35mm springs and rear lowered
bucket seats and harnesses
sparco steering wheel
few other bits n pieces but nothing engine related

Currently have 205gti wheels fitted in white but has totally ruined the handling!

The E30 is a dark metallic green, although im unsure of what the colour is called, havent seen many around so must be a pretty rare colour?
