    Technically 93 was the last year of the e30, but 91 was the last year of the coupe and sedan.

    Very cool car you got there

    Loved the old Beemers. Don't like the last couple of years at all. Fenders dented so easily. iDrive sucked.

    This is my toy. 1969 Alfa. Wife calls her my "bad girlfriend" - very sexy, fun to ride, hot to look at, but temperamental, high-strung, and she needs to be in an institution every so often during one of her spells.

    Anybody here cruise around in an MG Midget? My dad had one when I was growing up and I always had a blast riding in it with him!

    Very neat. I'm an Alfa man too.

    This is my '67 GT Jr:

    It will probably be sold at some point, because I do not drive it much, because of my '69 GTV:

    Had one just like the picture below my junior year in high school. Sold my 1967 Ford Fairlane GTA with a 390 for the Mercury Cougar XR7 7 Litre GTE with a 427 side oiler pumping out a modestly rated 390hp and with some tweaks was probably running around 425hp. Kept telling a kid I knew from Madison High School that had a 67 Chevelle Malibu small block that was pretty quick and I told him I had a 302 and one night I finally open the hood to show him and he exclaims " I knew it, you have a 351 in there". I just smiled and said 'yeah, you got me", lol. Extremely rare car as only a little over 300 were made with the 427 and even fewer of the later 68's with the 428 Cobra Jet. Sold it and went to a 1967 Ford Mustang 390GT. Muscle car era was the best.

    My dad was working at Marv Tonkin Ford at the time and a gal had brought it in with a blown head gasket and we were able to pick it up cheap and brought it home and fixed it. The Cougar had the looks and feel of a luxury car but with Ford's most powerful production engine. Last time the 427 was ever used in a production car. Had a hey day street racing other guys that figured it likely had a small block in it.

    Isn't that thing FWD? Seems like a waste of an LS engine. Just get the Australian GTO or a Chevy SS and be done with it.

    I generally hate German cars but I'd roll a bus full of nuns into the Grand Canyon for one of those
