Not Really A Newbie

[zaimhq]

Salutations all,Not really a newbie because I have registered for this group long time ago, but have not been an active member. Have enjoyed Freude am Fahren (Joy of Riding) of The Ultimate Driving Machines for many years now. My favourites are still the E30 and E34 though.Nice to know you all here.Cheers and best regards,Zaim Al-Amin aka zaimhq.

Welcome to the forums Zaim.

Wow, registered since Dec 2004. I was just out of secondary school then.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Eggie. As for myself, I left secondary school during the heydays of the E30!

Hence all the nostalgia... ;-)

Thanks Bro. Mizhan. Lots of E30 and E34 here in Krasnovodsk (Turkmenbashy) but all are LHD models. Bimmers (and continental cars in general) are very cheap here so much so that sadly the locals use them as taxis. You can get a very good E34 535i for less than USD5K. On top of that here petrol is just equivalent to RM0.50 per litre and there's no roadtax or toll charges. It's a motoring heaven. Too bad I don't have a Turkmenistan Driving Licence! ;-p
