    Pictures at the gas station are sweet. You could frame those.

    The one from the rear with the tent is like "EXTRA" authentic if that makes sense. Like not a pristine photo... little blurry on the edges... cloudy skies... dirty car... but a real photo of an E30 getting used and enjoyed. My favorite kinds of photos. I hate when people spend an eternity trying to get the perfect photo, then need perfect editing/cropping, a perfect caption, all for social media. Like just snap one photo and post it real time. Those are my favorite.

    I need to take mine camping eventually. That was on the list for this fall, but we will see if I can even get it running again before it snows this year.

      Forgot this part. The car clicked over 170k on my way home bringing the '2.8L' setup to over about 1500 miles logged in about 90 days. Car is absolutely wonderful right now

      ... Anyways, this pic was taken just as I had the Pacific Ocean revealing itself to my right... just like the pic taken in the Alfa when I had reached the same spot years ago...





      Making memories in cars is a great thing boys...

        What was the set up with the camping? Reserved camp spot at the track? That's something I wouldn't mind making the drive down for in the future.

          They have a ton of reserved spots, but you have to purchase the full 5-day package and have to get a track pass for those days. Since I knew I wasn't going to be there the whole time, I bought an open camping spot ($25/night IIRC) and a 2 day track pass. Totally worth it. That total cost was less than one night at a sh!tty hotel. They have showers with warm water available for use too...

            Race car sh!t boys!


            3 bolts were supposed to align with the headlight alignment holes, but maybe thats for the Ellipsoid lights


            I’ll be honest though, I hate the way these look 😂😂

              The stripes make it look a race version e30. If you lived close to me I would paint your cow catcher for free. I would like to see your track days on your e30.

                You said it, not me.

                But it's a track toy so function > form as they say.

                  I have a bunch of chrome vinyl laying around, I might try and wrap it ... my biggest beef with it is that the grille is black, and now it looks broken with a light missing... Painting it white would be way too much effort haha
