Happy Birthday !
My kids loved going out in the E30 at that age. They would sit in the back, roof down, windows down for maximum wind, then tell me to drive faster !

Great photo John, what a great young man. "Oh" for an head of hair like that :cry: :D
Which of the 2 does he prefer, I would have thought at his age maybe the e89 with more gadgets?

Great pic.

I got my 328i Coupe when he was about 10. I think going to Le Mans in it sowed the seeds for his petrolheadiness. He now has a Golf GTI for the road and some sort of Megane for the track.

One day he can start taking me to Le Mans, but not just yet!

Lovely pic! He looks so excited!!!

Its what ownership is about! Shared experiences.

I loved being a kid surrounded with what I thought was amazing cars getting picked up from school and going for a blast.

Secured my love for cars and some amazing memories :thumbsup:
