This is only my second post.

Today I am 19 months (and 37 pages on the Lotus site) into the restoration of a Europa Twin Cam Special that was turbocharged by the other owner in 1975. It has been sitting since 1977... I will do everything myself. Some questions:

1) How do you post pictures?

2) What is the story etc behind "E36 M3" ?

3) What is the story etc behind "Berkelying" ?

4) Should I start a build thread here too?

Is it the "image" one at the top? Can you post pics from your computer or do they have to be hosted ?

You can drag and drop photos from computer or phone into text box

You can use the image icon at the top and upload one to The Forum at a time from whatever device you're on. I generally don't do it that way because it's annoying to have to do them all one at a time. There's a tutorial around here somewhere that I'll see if I can find them give you a link to that explains how to use the Forum native hosting

Old school boost in a Europa - you will fit in here just fine.

Yep. I think just about everybody here has had a Europa at one time or another.

It's just four Europas.  We just take turns owning them.

I could have had a free Europa, and that would have upped the number to five.  Still sort of kicking myself, but there's no more room here.

Well technically 6 if you include the black 73 TC I sold to Tim Suddard(briefly) and my 72 TC that went to a forum member, but I'm not sure he even checks in anymore.

The real question is.. what is the actual story for Berkeley and e36 m3 respectively? My brain has accidentally started translating "E36 M3" to "e36 M3", and it's starting to make me question my sanity on sites other than this

I love those wheels and I have converted people at work to using berk in their text messages.

The problem with the wheels is they are 13"...not a great selection of tires...

I have a set of 15 x 7 Rota RBs for it....

I have a thing for weird wheels so I like 13s.  I also like Rota RBs so totally understand.
