I couldnt agree with Peter more, and wish I'd kept a better eye on this thread.

Welcome to the forum Henry, I think I will close this before it gets any sillier.
Best Wishes

Nigel

You're welcome Henry, don't worry there are plenty of helpful people who use the forum.

Maybe some of you guys should try to be a little bit more friendly and a little bit less bitchy Big Smile

Thanks to all the genuine helpful repiers to my question. such a shame that this, being my first try at entering into a supposedly adult forum has met with such infantile responses. My car is NOT for sale but I want to ensure that I have a correct valuation for insurance reasons. My other 2 BMWs are doing nicely thank you.

A big Thank you to Peter whose replies were very helpful.

I will persevere with membership of the Club in hopes that things will improve

Whats the big problem against older BMW's?? There is no way I would consider one of the Chris Bangle things on my driveway, and told the BMW dealer so this morning when I described the contents of his showroom as 'very ugly'. When he found I had just bought an E28, he just shrugged and smiled one of those 'you will never have one of these' smiles. Not caring, can't ever see myself spending 40k on a newish BM. For now the newest I'll have is around 1990. Sorry guys, I like my classics.

Besides, he valued my car at 300 quid. Growl.

How do you know this?

Why would anyone want to take part in a golfing weekends and polishing contests????!!! I couldn't imagine anything less interesting biggrinbounce2

A carpet bagger is a Johnny Come Lately who joins a club or a chat board just to get what he wants, like selling his car. they do not contribute to the chat board, they are just looking out for # 1. some chat boards only allow members who have been in the club for a while to advertise cars for sale, to prevent carpet bagging.

Was that said in a John Mcririck accent by any chance ?

How many cars from that era didn't rust like crazy?
I can't think of any.


Ugly! compared to other cars of the time I think
they looked quite good. Sure they look dated now but
what cars that are from the 70's and 80's don't


Finally gutless. Again I hate to say it, but
compared to what? Performance was on a par or
better than most contemparory cars. Most cars from
that time where gutless compared to now.

Compared to what? a Cortina 2.0GL or an Alfetta.

Compared to contemporary Fords, Vauxhalls, Peaugots, Audis, VWs etc. All cars from the 70's rust to some extent. Very few of them were fast by modern standards and most of them look dated. In fact compared to most cars of the time BMWs looked good.

Do you not think it's a bit off that someone new visits the forum asking a question and some people (mentioning no names) put forward unhelpful suggestions like 'set fire to it'.

This is hardly going to encourage new owners to join the club is it.
