for not only saving BEN back when Gus gave up and for keeping it going.
And now a special thank you for this gift 
|

I have to agree. Thanks, Dave!
I look at this forum for tips on how to keep my E30 happy before I open my Bentley. It's that good. John |

I am in full agreement with that, many, many thanks to Dave, this place is my BMW bible, and the good folk around here, my gurus, I would be lost without it.
And a nicer bunch of on line friends, a person could not wish for. There is a special place in heaven for your sort Dave, take a bow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E30'S AREN'T BUILT, THEY'RE CAUGHT IN THE WILD!!!

Only until he hits midlife crisis, then he will be back, probably with questions and advice on a newly aquired e30 convertable no less, I will probably see him on the bike forum too then.

My midlife crisis car will be an E46 or e90 M3...but I have a long number of years before that time comes 
An e30 sounds like a good midlife crisis car, but I'd be happy if there are still e30s around in a decade or two. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1989 - E30 - M20 - Manual.

I have no doubt there will be, e30s will still be around on the roads long after all the new plastic cars have been recycled into Bic pens. Well, I know mine will, it better last another 20years, I can't afford a new car. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E30'S AREN'T BUILT, THEY'RE CAUGHT IN THE WILD!!!

Ove is still pretty active with his cars, I believe. I see his updates on Facebook. He is married now, and I wonder when he'll be procreating. ;-) Most of his updates are in some weird, non-English language, so for all I know maybe he already has kids.
He seems to be traveling a lot for work, and has been playing around with photography a lot. That seems to be the progression lately. Cars -> photography. Not sure why, maybe we just like gadgets. Cab

Cut it out, you guys, you're making me blush.

I used to be, and still am, proud to note the order in which I made my first 3 major purchases using hard earned cash. Apple Laptop age 18 Canon DSLR age 20 BMW E30 age 21 (Yes, I didn't own or have a car until I was of drinking age, go figure...) Those 3 still represent the 3 major areas of my life ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1989 - E30 - M20 - Manual.

On the topic of my '84 E30, my wife says "are you ever gonna get a new car? You never get rid of anything" to which I replied "from your perspective, I would consider that a big plus"

Oooh... sorry to hear about the Canon. Cab
