[Ryan Stewart]

I know I know much more about these POS cars than I did in 2001.

My first post on BEN was looking to findout how to retract the roof on my vert I had just bought. Talk about your stupid questions!!!

Yeah, I remember back in the first of 2001 when I went on BEN. I found it because I wanted to get rid of those hideous bumpers. Beyond that there wasnt anything else I wanted to do with my car.

I actually owned the domain and Jordan hosted E3S. Daniel Barber had little to do with the site, it was just his idea originally.

His name was DannyB. He still owes me money.

"Cocaine is a hell of a drug...."


I was doing tons of blow the great part of the time that all this went down. Stop hassling me about details. :D

Ove was a stubborn old bastard, but he knew his shit and I've got to give him that. Is he even still around?

I think so, I haven't been there in a while but he was on there the last time I checked. It's not like it used to be obviously....

[Ryan Stewart]

Ove was on BEN last time it worked. The forum hasnt loaded for me for months not.

I havent seen him on E30.de or e30-talk.

[Streetspec_iS]

fuck man, Ove and BEN were the days. fuck ya newbies.

We had more AUS bimmers too. Hambly's goofy ass hooked me up with a lot of cheap international parts back in the day.

[CleanAzzE30z]

[BMW BMXER]

I dont remeber this OVe character but I remeber the rise and fall of e3s.

TJs car stock with the blacked out emblems is a big memory too.

[Ryan Stewart]

Ove was strictly on bmwe30.net. Along with a few others like Paal Berg. Some of the long time BEN guys moved over to e30tech instead of here (JoshQ). Hambly sorta came over here as Caferacer but didnt stay long.

[Dave]

Ove Kvam
Paal Berg
Rick Jost

There were others, but those were the guys who I remeber being full of good knowledge.

Ove always had awesome ice racing photos.
