Title: Can I play too?
Post by: d.hitchcock on November 19, 2011, 08:24:48 PM

I'm an autocross addict with an STX-prepped e30 325i, zinno/black. I know, I know, it's NOT the car for the class. Doesn't matter, I love it.

Just picked up my 318is, brillant/black, for a daily driver and I absolutely love it now too.

Basically, e30s are my favorite car going. I've got lots of cars that I love dearly -- MGA, Dino 246GT, 3.0CS, 2002, '67 Mustang fastback -- but the e30 has turned out to be MY car.

A few quick shots:

Welcome to the 'club!  Looks like you have your priorities straight, eh?

If you get a chance, post a few track tidbits...even non-BMW, of course.  We're all car guys & love that sort of stuff 'round here.

Some slinky CS car-p0rn would be appreciated too!  IMHO the best-looking BMW of them all.

Thank you, sir! Here are a few more pictures ...

Here's my 10-year-old son autocrossing our Formula Junior go-kart. He codrives the kart with his 8-year-old sister.

A cool 2002 at Solo Nationals a couple years back.

You Sir, have some great looking rides.
I especially love the wagon! :)
