Calling card

Post by bogbasic »

A sincere thank you to whoever left a 300mania card on my windscreen. From the 5th floor, I saw an elegant 340/360 of the same colour parked opposite mine in the car park and on pointing this out to my colleague, he said they were probably having babies so we looked away quickly. Your card was entirely unexpected but very welcome.

Incidently wikipedia has a lot to say on the matter...

Cheers, bogbasic.

Haha, I thought I recognised the number plate as PP was around a lot near my old house, Luton registration from memory...

It was me! Didnt twig as I didn't think you lived around here, but was dropping a mate off! If you are still about, drop me a pm if you want to meet up for a drink at some point.

I can't remember who made them now, I love the orig style, and still have a few, they are business card sized so can be kept in the wallet. Anyone got the orig image to get some more made up? I'd imagine the donations pot could cover such a thing

yeah just put the image up and i will print some off.

i still have 1 or 2 left for the e30zone.net which im on.......lots.

do you guys wave at other 300 owners and not get waved back :oops:

since there are millions more e30's you have to be sure they are a enthusiast before you commit to a wave because i have been in some sticky situations where people think im flashing them off the road etc :roll:
